2. Set the Region (1, 2, 3, or 4) by using the + or – buttons. For accurate
Solar Sync measurements, the Region needs to be programmed for the
typical peak ET for your area. Use the table to determine your Region.
(see the Solar Sync owner’s manual for more details on Region)
3. Set the +/– Water Adjustment by using the ► button to move to
the number on the right side of the screen. Use the + or – button to
set the value any number between 1–10. The default setting is 5. It
is recommended to leave the +/– Water Adjustment setting at the
default 5 setting after install. Adjustments to this value can be made to
alter the Solar Sync seasonal adjustment value if more/less is desired.
(see the Solar Sync owner’s manual for more details on using the
+/– Water Adjustment)
The table will assist you in identifying the type of region you live
in. There are four basic ET regions, each with descriptions of the
region, along with typical ET and temperature characteristics. It is
recommended that, if possible, the region be chosen based upon
average July ET or peak summer ET (inches/mm per day).
Use the following table for choosing your region (reference below).
You can use
A
,
B
or
C
to help you choose which region is best for
your area:
A:
Based upon the ET of your region using the
average
July ET or
peak summer ET (inches/mm per day). This is the preferred option
when selecting your region.
B:
Based upon the temperature for your region using the
average
July or the driest month high temperature (not the highest
temperature for July).
C:
Based upon the general description of your region.
Programming Region & +/– Water Adjustment Setting
After the Solar Sync sensor is connected and assigned to the controller,
the Region setting will need to be programmed.
1. Turn the dial to the SOLAR SYNC SETTINGS position. The number
on the left of the screen is the Region setting, and the number on the
right is the +/– Water Adjustment settings.
