WEATHERMATIC SL800 4 ZONE BASE CONTROLLER:
4-Zone base model controller / timer with external transformer.
|
Features & Benefits of the SL800 Controller
|
- 4-zone base model, expandable to 8 zones using SLM2 2-zone hot-swappable modules (Indoor rated)
- External transformer with plug and play barrel connector
- Large LCD display
- 2 run modes: Standard mode runs user input zone run times; Auto Adjustmode requires SLW Series On-Site Weather Station to calculate weather
based run times
- Rain/Freeze sensor bypass/active button displays sensor status with tricolor LEDs (red indicates sensor is prohibiting irrigation; orange indicates an extended rain delay; green indicates normal operation)
- 4 programs: A, B, C; program D can operate concurrently
- 8 start times per program
- Nonvolatile memory and real time clock/calendar to retain programs and current date and time - no battery required
- Zone run times from 1 min. to 9 hrs. 55 min. with operation countdown displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds
- Watering day selections of custom days of the week, odd/even, or interval days (1 - 30 days)
- Omit settings: omit time of day window, omit day(s) of week, and omit up to 7 calendar dates
- Seasonal % adjust by program, by month for simple year round water budgeting (monthly percentages overidden in Auto Adjust mode)

Auto Adjust Features
|
- ZIP Code input (5 digit) or Latitude input (+/-60 degrees from EQUATOR) establish location of site for solar radiation calculation
- Sprinkler type input allows selection for zone sprinkler type (SPRAY, ROTOR, DRIP, BUBBLER) with preset precipitation rate or specific input of the zone precipitation rate (.2 - 3.0" per hour)
- Plant type input allows selection for zone plant type (COOL TURF, WARM TURF, SHRUBS, ANNUALS, TREES, NATIVE) with preset crop factors or specific input of the zone crop factor (10 - 300%)
- Soil type input allows selection for the soil type (CLAY, SAND, LOAM) and slope (0 - 25 degrees) for the purpose of automatically calculating a run/soak period to virtually eliminate run off
- More/Less is settable by zone (-50% to +25%) for the purpose of fine tuning Auto Adjust run times to accommodate factors like shade, wind, and sprinkler inefficiencies

Advanced Functions
|
- Diagnostic test function using on-board multi-meter displays transformer voltage; milliamp measurement for each zone
- Fault review displays all faults, including open and shorted zones
- Built-in valve locator function for locating hidden valves by simply listening for the audible chatter of the solenoid created by a unique electrical frequency (U.S. Patent No. 7,406,363)
- Review menu displays accumulated ET deficits by zone (in inches) and corresponding zone run times for the next available watering day
- Review menu displays maximum run time and minimum soak time used during Auto Adjust mode
- Review menu displays temperature readings (daily high/low) for previous 5 days
- Review menu accumulates total run times by zone from the last reset date
- Rain delay of 1 - 7 days may be selected (to pause and automatically resume operation)
- SLW Weather Station extended rain delay programmable from 0 - 99 hours
- Run/Soak cycles allow setting of maximum run time and minimum soak time by program for use in Standard mode only
- Zone-to-zone delay programmable for 1 min. - 3 hrs. to accommodate slow closing valves and recharging of water supply
- Master valve timing sequence with zone-valve programmable by "On Delay" (1 sec. - 1 min.; 2 sec. default) and "Off Delay" (1 sec. - 3 min.; 5 sec. default) to allow for line fill and slow-closing valves
- Master valve/pump start operation assignable On/Off by zone
- Clear program function to selectively delete an individual program
- Clear all function to delete all programs
- Backtrack stored program feature allows contractor to easily store a default program and retrieve the saved program in the event a customer improperly reprograms the SL800
