HRC 100 Programing

The HRC 100 C provides the flexibility of using 3 independent programs (A, B, and/or C). A program is where you store all of your sprinkler settings. It consists of a group of stations set to specific start times and run times. Multiple programs allow you to run different valves on different days with different run
times. While many applications only require one program (A), using multiple programs can be useful for drip areas, newly planted lawns, or rotary sprinkler stations. Using programs to group stations with similar water needs will maximize irrigation efficiency.

To clear any previous programming to clear factory programming Press the [RESET] button with a paperclip, pen, or other small objects.
