You can cancel the test at anytime by selecting Prog. 49 Creating Irrigation Schedules, continued The Auto Display Screen shows: · the Program, · the Total run time, · the current time, · the name of the Active Decoder(s) (during a Schedule), · the number of minutes the decoder is active (during a Schedule), · the day and time of the first Scheduled start time, · the WB setting, · the number of Active Dec. (during a Schedule), · the number of times this Schedule Repeats, · the length of Pauses between repeats, · the Scheduled irrigation days in the 14-day cycle, · a time line, separated in six-day increments, showing the Active time period of the Program (indicated by a black block), · a sprinkler icon that "sprinkles" during irrigation and, · the Auto label is highlighted. Note: If none of the 11 Programs are Active, the message, **No Active Programs** appears on the display screen. Note: If no irrigation Schedule is currently running while the controller is set in Automatic, 0 active Decoders shows, until the first Schedule starts. and Auto labels are highlighted and the sprinkler icon "sprinkles" when a Schedule starts. 2. Pressing the button pointing to the Auto label stops the irrigation Program and returns you to the Main Operating Screen. Activating a Decoder While the controller is set in Automatic, you can (manually) activate decoders before or in-between programmed irrigation Schedules. and scroll through the list of installed decoders to find the one you want to activate and select OK.

[. . . ] You will also need to define a separate valve type with the switch code of 49F390. The controller circuit from the pressure switch runs through the contacts on the Relay-100. MDC Controller Sensor FLOW Master Pump RELAY-100 Water Line #18 AWG Pressure Switch Two-Wire Communications Cable Sensor Decoder With the above setup, the pressure switch will provide power to the pump, or if the flow exceeds the maximum rate, the controller sends a signal to the field decoder stopping the pump and shutting off the valves in the system. If the pressure is too high, the pressure switch will cut off power to the pump and shut it off. With the valves closed, any flow in the system is considered a leak. 91 Appendix III, continued Using the Municipal Water Supply With a Master Valve (NC or NO) In this installation, a field decoder attaches to a Normally closed or Normally open master valve installed as a pump.
