Note : If you press

a second time, you will exit from the cycle type function.
3 - Water days : Setting the water days after selecting the cycle type for each program (A, B and C), you must set the water days. This is necessary for the following cycle types : Weekly : select which days of the week to water 1 water day once every 2 days, once every 3 days, etc.up to 1 water day once every 6 days : you must decide which day in the cycle is considered today. No further programming is required for the following cycle types : Even days/dates, odd days/dates, odd days/dates including 31st and February 29th. Weekly calender (1-7 days) : Press. Select the program (A,B, or C) which you wish to have a 7-day cycle by pressing ABC. In our example, it is C. This screen appears. 1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, etc. By default, every day is a watering day as indicated by a square around the number. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to validate or remove the square. No square = no watering on that day. Not that watering will occur if there is no square. Move the cursor from one day (number) to the next by pressing If you have selected a cycle type such as 1 water day every 2 days, 1 water day every 3 days,.,1 water day every 6 days, follow these steps : - Press. - Press ABC to select program A, B, or C. Important : regardless of the cycle you select, number 1 always appears within a square. It is the only watering day in the cycle. - Now you must set the day in the cycle which you decide to designate Today. Repeatedly press until the desired day number appears. In this example, the cycle type is 1 water day every 6 days. Today is 3. That means that Today is considered the 3rd day of the cycle. Irrigation will therefore occur 4 days later.

Prog C

Here is another example. The cycle type is 1 water day every 5 days.Today has been designated as day 4. That means that Today is the 4th day of the cycle. Watering will therefore occur after 2 days.
Even days/dates, odd days/dates, odd days/dates + 31st and Feb 29th : There is no need to select water days, they are automatically selected. One of these screens will appear.

Even days/dates

4 - Manual cycle start Remember that a cycle consists of all the stations operating in sequence within a program. Repeatedly press the key to obtain this display.
Press the ABC key to select the program you want to start manually. Then press the +/ON key. A blinking sprinkler stream will be displayed. Station 1 will be displayed and the remaining watering time for station 1 will be counted down in 1-minute increments. Then the next station number assigned to the program will appear along with the remaining CYC watering time. The screen will display each station until the cycle is completed. If you wish to stop irrigation, press the +/OFF key during the 1st minute of the manually started cycle. If the cycle has operated for longer than 1 minute, you can stop irrigation by first pressing the key, and then the +/OFF key. The LCD will automatically return to the current time of day display. NOTE : If the controller is in the off position (see Irrigation Shutdown) it is impossible to water using the manual start. Even if the display shows the sprinkler with a blinking stream, no irrigation will take place.
5 - Water budget function During spring and fall, the irrigation requirement is reduced compared to summer. It is therefore necessary to reduce the water application of each station. The Water Budget function enables you to modify the irrigation run time of a program. You can either increase or decrease the run time without having to reprogram the controller. The Water Budget key affects all stations assigned to a given program (A, B, or % C). Press the dL key. This display will appear. Now select the program you wish to modify. Press the ABC key. Then press the +/ON key to increase the run time or the key -/OFF to decrease the run time. The run time is modified in increments of 10 %. When the program begins to operate, this display appears. The display uses the % A, % B and % C messages to indicate that the program is operating on Water Budget. The absence of the "%" sign means that no Water Budget is used. NOTE : a Water Budget adjustment does not affect the run time of stations started manually.

Prog A %A

6 - Set the delay between station The Dialog + has a function to allow the programming of a start delay between each station assigned to the same program. During the delay, no station will operate. The delay can be set from 0 to 999 seconds. You can set a different delay between stations assigned to the A, B and C programs. Note that the delay does not affect the pump start or the opening of a master valve (Terminal Pompe). and the start time of the first station in a program. Also note that the pump or the master valve will remain activated during the delay between two stations. % Press dL twice to display this screen. Use the ABC key to select the program for which you wish to set a start delay between each station assigned to that program. (program C in our example). The delay between stations is set with the +/ON and -/OFF keys in 1-second increments. The default value is 0 which means that there is no delay between stations. The maximum setting is 999 seconds. During the delay phase, the 2 following screens will be alternatively displayed. The 1st one shows the next station scheduled to operate (station 12 of C program in this example). The 2nd one shows the remaining time delay counted down, in this example 126 seconds remain before station 12 will start. 28

IV - ALARM MESSAGES 1. 230 V power (plug) If there is no 230V input to the controller, the display will show a blinking plug (see illustration) The plug disappears as soon as the power is restored.
2. Station problem / short circuit If a short circuit occurs or if there is an electrical overload (more than 4 valves per station) this display will appear. The DIALOG is provided with an automatic, diagnostic circuit breaker system which indicates the problem station number. The controller will continue to water with all other operable stations. Locate and fix the problem and the controller will return to normal operation of that station at the next cycle. Note that a short circuit affecting the "Pompe" output will shut down all the stations. If several stations have short circuits, the controller will display the station with the lowest number.
V - OTHER FUNCTION 1 - Irrigation Shutdown : blue ON/OFF key The "off" setting is good for rainy weather shutdown or shutdown during system maintenance. The default position of the key is "on" which permits the programmed irrigation to be carried out. However, you can prevent watering without affecting the programmed schedules. Press the ON/OFF key and this screen will appear. No irrigation is now possible; neither automatic nor manual starts will operate any station. Press the ON/OFF key again to permit irrigation.

C/ SATELLITE MODE

To cancel a start time : repeatedly press the key slowly to display the start times. When you see the start time you want to cancel, hold down the key for at least 2 seconds. Note : There is only 1 dot between hours and minutes for start times.
4/ Set the length of watering time (run time) per station Icon : hour-glass
Repeatedly press the key until this display appears. The station number appears at the left. To set the station watering time, use the +/ON and -/OFF keys. The duration is set in 1-minute increments from 0 minutes to 12 hours. Holding down the +/ON or -/OFF keys will speed up the setting. Each station must be assigned to a program. Use the ABC key to assign the station to program A, B or C. The letter A, B or C will appear at the right of the screen to indicate which program you have selected. Press the key to move to the next station.
Note : Be careful not to schedule programs that will overlap. If you do not leave enough time for all the stations to water, the controller will simply delay the second start time until the previous program(cycle) is completed.

5/Set water budget (Modify the water application). Icon : percentage sign
The controller has a Water Budget function used to adjust watering times for each program from 0 to 200 % without re-setting the watering time for each station.
Repeatedly press the key until this display appears. Use the ABC key to select the program you wish to water budget. In this example, it is program A. Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the Water Budget in increments of 10 %. 100 % is the starting point. The duration in this case will be what you have already programmed. To reduce the watering time, use the -/OFF key. Example : 80 in the display means you have reduced the watering time by 20 % on all stations. An initial duration of 10 minutes which you previously programmed will now be cut to 8 minutes. Use the +/ON key to increase the watering time.
Note : make sure that the increase in watering time does not result in program overlap.
6/ Set the delay between stations Icon : dL
The SI-RR+ has a function to allow the programming of a start delay between each station assigned to the same program. During the delay, no station will operate. The delay can be set from 0 to 99 seconds. You can set a different delay between stations assigned to the A, B and C programs. Note that the delay does not affect the pump start or the opening of a master valve (Terminal P). and the start time of the first station in a program. Also note that the pump or the master valve will remain activated during the delay between two stations.

Repeatedly press the key until this screen is displayed. Use the ABC key to select the program for which you wish a delay between each station. Set the delay by pressing the +/ON or the -/OFF keys. The setting is in 1-second increments from 0 to 99 seconds. The default setting is 0 which means that there is no delay phase between stations. The maximum setting is 99 seconds.
During the delay phase a screen similar to this is displayed. In this example, the next station scheduled to operate is station 5 assigned to program C. The remaining time delay is counted down second by second until 0. If this function is not programmed, there is no delay between stations.

7/Manual single station start Icon : hand + STA
Repeatedly press the key until this display appears.
The station number appears at the left of the display (example: station 1). Repeatedly press the key until the desired station number appears. In our example, now press the +/ON key to manually start station 1. The sprinkler in the display begins to water. Blinking stream The watering time appears in the display. The remaining watering time STA is counted down. If you press the key while a station is watering, the controller will move to the next station and begin watering. If you wish to stop watering before the scheduled duration is up, press the -/OFF key. The stream disappears. Only the station number appears. Note : water budgeting does not operate in the manual single station mode.
8/Manual program (cycle) start Icon : hand + CYC
Remember that a program (cycle) consists of the sequential operation of all stations assigned to the same program. Repeatedly press the key until this display appears. Use the ABC key to select the cycle you wish to start. You may select either program A, B or C. The program you select appears in the upper lefthand corner of the display. To start the program (cycle) press the +/ON key. The blinking sprinkler stream appears in the display. The number of the first station in the program appears and the watering time is counted down. Then the number of the CYC second station in the program appears and its watering time is counted down. The rest of the stations in the program appear in sequence until the program (cycle) is completed. Note that only those stations with a programmed watering time will appear. If you wish to shut off a manual program (cycle) start, press the -/OFF key. The display will now show the time of day. Note : If a cross appears on the sprinkler, (see following paragraph) no manual start is possible. Even if the display shows the sprinkler with the blinking stream, no irrigation can take place. Important : if the water budget is set higher or lower than 100%, the % icon will appear on the LCD and the increased or decreased run time will be displayed.

9/System ON / Shutdown Icon : cross
The controller has a function which either allows or prevents irrigation. The default mode is ON which allows the programmed watering to take place. You can prevent watering (rainy weather shutdown) without changing the scheduled watering program. Repeatedly press the key until this display appears. Note that the cross on the sprinkler blinks. To prevent watering press the -/OFF key and the cross stops blinking. If you move through the menu by repeatedly pressing the key, you will see that the non-blinking cross appears on all the displays except this one. No watering, either automatic or manual, will take place. To return to the watering mode, repeatedly press the key until the display with the blinking cross appears. Now press the +/ON key. The cross disappears. Note : In the shutdown mode, the LED lamp on the front panel is red

C/ SATELLITE MODE

Your controller can operate as a satellite in the Tele Manager central control system. To operate in the satellite mode, a modem must be installed. See A-5
IMPORTANT : In the Satellite mode, you can always manually start stations or programs even if the satellite is OFF (see B/ CONVENTIONNAL PROGRAMMING 7, 8) In the Satellite mode, you cannot modify the program currently in operation. However, you can always display the stored program by pressing the key In the Satellite mode, it is always possible to shut down the SI-RR+ on the site if necessary. Repeatedly press to display the ON/OFF screen. Then press the -/OFF key. A cross will appear on the sprinkler. During any communication for whatever reason between the SI-RR+ and the Tele Manager, the program stored in the SI-RR+ is automatically replaced by the program selected in the Tele Manager.
