3. Operazzjoni
3.1 Programmazzjoni tal-Iskedi tal-Irrigazzjoni
The controller supports up to six independent irrigation programs (P1-P6). Each program can have different start times, run durations, and watering frequencies.
- Agħżel il-Programm: In the mobile app, navigate to the 'Program' section and select the program you wish to configure (P1-P6).
- Issettja l-Jiem tat-Tisqija: Choose one of three frequency modes:
- Weekly Mode: Select specific days of the week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
- Interval Mode: Water every 1 to 15 days.
- Odd/Even Day Mode: Water on odd or even calendar days.
- Issettja l-Ħinijiet tal-Bidu: For each program, you can set multiple start times (up to 6). For example, 06:00, 09:00, 12:00, etc.
- Issettja l-Ħinijiet tal-Ġiri: Specify the duration for each station within the selected program. Run times can range from 1 minute to 12 hours and 59 minutes.
- Assign Stations: Select which stations (valves) are active for the current program and their individual run times.

3.2 Manual Irrigation
The controller allows for manual operation of individual stations or all stations simultaneously, overriding the programmed schedule temporarily.
- From the controller's dial or the mobile app, select the 'Manual' mode.
- Choose the specific station(s) you wish to run.
- Set the desired run time for the manual cycle. The maximum manual run time for each station is 12 hours and 59 minutes.
3.3 Rain Sensor Functionality and Delay
The system can be connected to a normally closed (NC) rain sensor to automatically suspend irrigation during rainfall, conserving water.
- When a connected rain sensor detects sufficient rainfall, it will interrupt scheduled irrigation cycles.
- Additionally, a manual rain delay function is available, allowing you to pause irrigation for 0, 24, 48, or 72 hours, even without a physical rain sensor. This can be set via the controller or the mobile app.

3.4 Water Budget and Seasonal Adjustment
The controller includes a water budget feature, also known as seasonal adjustment, which allows you to easily increase or decrease watering times for all active programs by a percentage. This is useful for adapting to changing seasonal needs without reprogramming each station individually.
- Access the 'Water Budget' or 'Seasonal Adjust' setting in the mobile app.
- Aġġusta l-perċentwalitage to modify all program run times. For example, setting it to 50% will halve all watering durations, while 150% will increase them by 50%.

4. Manutenzjoni
Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u l-prestazzjoni ottimali tal-kontrollur tal-irrigazzjoni tiegħek.
- Tindif: Imsaħ il-barra tal-kontrollur perjodikament b'ċarruta ratba u damp drapp. Evita li tuża kimiċi ħarxa jew tindif li joborxu.
- Spezzjoni: Annually inspect all wiring connections for corrosion or damage. Ensure the power transformer is securely connected.
- Winterization: In regions with freezing temperatures, disconnect the controller and drain all water from the irrigation system to prevent freeze damage. Store the controller in a dry, protected area.
