Example Extra Start Times
Program A has four stations (1-4) assigned to it and the program has one start time at 5:30 AM. At 5:30 AM, station 1 will water, followed by station 2, then station 3, and so on until all four stations have watered.
Individual stations are assigned to a program (A,B,C). Each program requires only one start time to initiate a watering sequence of all the stations assigned to that program. Start times are assigned to programs, not stations. The controller will operate the stations in numerical order. When a station has completed its watering time, the controller will switch to the next station in that program automatically.
