Controller - Offline Mode Setup

OFFLINE PROGRAMMING will allow the controller to run like our traditional controllers, the X-core and the Pro-C models. Each of the six programs (a-f) allows you to start each program up to six times a day, set run lengths, and set specific days to water.

To set up your controller for manual configuration, please follow the steps below:

  1. From the main menu, click on SETTING.
  2. Select CONFIG.
  3. Select FACTORY DEFAULT.
  4. Select ERASE CONFIG. This will reset the controller back to factory settings.  You will be presented with a warning dialogue.
  5. Select CONFIGURE OFFLINE and begin the wizard steps. Click OK.
  6. Enter DATE and TIME. Click OK.
  7. The next step is to enable a MASTER VALVE. Click OK.  Learn More
  8. Make a section for MASTER VALVE, then click CONFIRM.
  9. Click OK to start setting up a PROGRAM.
  10. Edit WATER DAYS. Check all that apply. Click the back arrow.
  11. Edit START TIMES (default 5:00 AM). Click ADD and enter TIME (Hours and minutes) (six maximum). Click OK.
  12. Edit ZONES. Highlight a ZONE, then check the ZONE ENABLED box. Click on the green box and enter a RUN TIME. Click OK when each applicable zone is complete. Repeat as needed.
  13. Click the HOME button.

Your Hydrawise controller is now set up to run as a standalone controller.
