BERMAD Operation Manual Back Defining the Water Valve Runtime The water runtime of a valve indicates how long the irrigation valve remains open after being activated. In order to include a valve in the selected irrigation program, it must have its water runtime set to a nonzero value. The units used for measuring the water runtime are the units selected at the setup procedure for the particular program. valve Selected value More significant part Less significant part Water runtime units • Step 1 - While the the word Water is blinking press the key. The valve number starts blinking. or key...

BERMAD Operation Manual Controllers Defining the Fertilizer Valve Runtime When the system contains two fertilizer injectors, each injector can have its own runtime setting for each valve in each of the programs. The fertilizer runtime indicates how long the fertilizer injection lasts after being activated.
