Features

• 12-hour watering duration for any or all stations to aid in drip compatibility.
• Four independent programs, with eight start times each, allow mixed irrigation applications in a single controller.
• Four cycle modes (CUSTOM, CYCLICAL, ODD, and EVEN) selectable by program for maximum flexibility.
• Two master valve terminals, one programmable by station, to provide better irrigation control.
• Programs can overlap to maximize hydraulic efficiency and minimize watering time.
• 365-day calendar with leap year intelligence for one-time date and time setting.
• Event-Day-Off option to set any day of the month as a non-watering day for all programs.
• Programmable rain delay enables system to stay off for up to 99 days with auto-restart.
• Upgradable to MAXICOM® satellite.
• Water budget by program provides adjustments from 0 to 300% in 1% increments (up to a maximum run time of 16 hours).
• Rain Bird’s exclusive Cycle+Soak™ by station allows the total   station run time to be split into usable cycles, minimizing puddling and runoff.
• Programmable-Delay-Between-Stations provides time for water well recovery, or time for slow-closing valves to turn off completely.
• Manual watering by station or program.
• Sensor inputs and override switch with LED to indicate when irrigation is suspended by the sensor.
• Non-volatile, 100-year memory holds program, date, and time during power outages.
• Diagnostic circuit breaker identifies electrical shorts, provides a “FAULT” message on the LCD screen, skips shorted stations, and continues irrigation cycle.
• Quick-connect terminal strip for fast installation.
• Universal remote ready: includes pre-installed connectors for addition of remote products.
• Heavy-duty transformer for simultaneous operation of up to nine 24VAC, 7VA solenoids.
• Removable, battery-programmable front panel for the convenience of both programming instruction and programming prior to installation.
• Surge protection, backed by a 3-year lightning warranty, makes the controller reliable and robust under extreme field conditions.
• Special Fuse Circuitry detects and displays when a fuse has blown.
