Scheduled Watering  
The TDC-100/200 features 10 fully-independent resident programs. With two types of programs to select from,  
you can further custom fit your irrigation programs to any landscape.  
Standard Irrigation Program will activate a station or group of stations with six start times on a daily basis. Each  
station will water for the duration specified in hours, minutes and seconds. Percent adjust and maximum number of  
simultaneous activate stations per program can be specified in this program.  
• Grow-In Irrigation Program will activate a station or group of stations for the length of their runtime. The program  
will repeat the cycle after the specified delay time expires and will repeat continuously between the set Start and  
End times. Percent adjust and the simultaneous activate stations can be specified in this program.  
To utilize these programs automatically or manually, each program must be configured.  
Standard Irrigation Program Setting:  
Standard Irrigation Program example: Create Program 02 with stations 6–10 running 15 minutes each and stations
