STEP 3: Set the time of day to start watering
The PC-200 series can be set to water once, twice or three times per day on
each program. All stations on a program will run in sequence at each start time. For
example, if stations 1,2,& 3 are on program A, and program A has start times of
8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., all three stations will run in sequence at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
When shipped from the factory, the 1st start time on program A is preset at 8:00 a.m.
All others are blank. Start times can only be on the hour.

cles are completed.
