slope).<br />
1. Turn the dial to the Soak Cycle position.<br />
2. Press the + or – button to select the timed zone that you want to change the soak-cycle settings for.<br />
3. Perform one of the following:<br />
a. If soak cycles have been disabled for the zone, press the CLR button to enable the default soak-cycle<br />
settings.<br />
b. If you want to change the displayed values, continue with step 4.<br />
4. Press the NEXT or PREV button to move to the field that you want to change.<br />

Setting Up Programs<br />
The <strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> supports 20 programs. The controller identifies each program with a letter of the alphabet<br />
starting at A and going up to T. By default, all zones assigned in the controller are associated with program A. To<br />
associate zones with another program, refer to Associating Zones with a Program on page 51.<br />
In many irrigation controllers, you set up the run times and the watering schedules in the programs, but in the<br />
<strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong>, run times are configured for the individual zones, and a program provides the schedule for when<br />
the associated zones will water. The schedule has the following components:<br />
Start Times – Each program can have up to eight start times in a 24 hour period. Start times are set in 15 minute<br />
increments from the top of the hour. If there is no start time, then the program is considered to be OFF or disabled<br />
and no watering will be allowed on the zones of that program.<br />
Water Windows – Water windows are used to select when watering will or will not be allowed. You can configure<br />
water windows on a weekly basis (having the same water window settings for each day of the week) or on a daily<br />
basis, where you can set each day of the week for a specific water window schedule.<br />
Day Intervals – If there are watering restrictions in your area, the controller might have a pre-configured day<br />
interval option that will enable you to comply with the restrictions. Options are a seven day schedule, even days of<br />
the month, odd days of the month, odd days of the month excluding the 31 st day of the month, and historical ET<br />
calendar (explained in the topic on setting up historical ET-based watering for a program on page 49).<br />
