Selecting Control Options A set of eight DIP switches, located beneath the upper left corner of the control panel (as illustrated below) is provided for the selection of optional control characteristics. Power to the controller must be turned Off and the control panel removed from the cabinet in order to make switch position changes. When power is [...]

Before Programming the Controller … Please note the following important information before programming the Network LTC Plus con- troller for the first time. Although the controller is quite easy to program, it does have some pro- gramming and operating characteristics which will be helpful to know before starting. • *If power is interrupted to [...]

Set Current Time and Day Synchronizing the controller's clock with the current time and day is an important first step in the programming procedure. The timed events for all watering programs (when the satellite is in the Satellite Mode) are based on the settings you will make here. Use the following procedure to set the current time and day: [...]

Set Program Start Time(s) This procedure will determine when each program will start during a 24 hour period. Note the following characteristics: • Each program can have from 1 to 12 start times. • Start times can be set to the minute. • Program operation can be prevented for any of the 12 start times by selecting OFF (no start time). • Whe[...]

Set Active Day W atering Schedules The active watering days for each program can be chosen using a Calendar schedule or an Interval schedule. The Calendar schedule enables active days to be selected within a 14-day (two week) cycle. The Interval Schedule enables active days to be selected by a specific interval, such as every day, every-other day, [...]

Interval Schedule Scheduling active days by Interval enables a program to operate on a specific routine such as, every other day, or every fourth day, without regard to actual calendar days. The Interval schedule consists of two programmable numbers: The Interval Reference and the Interval Day. The Interval Reference number (01 – 29) determines h[...]

Set Program Repeat and Soak This is an optional programming feature which enables a program to repeat its operating cycle from 0 – 3 times (in addition to its initial cycle). A soak-in period from 0 – 59 minutes is placed between repeat cycles. 1. Press as needed to select the Program indicator. 2. Press or until the desired program number (1 ?[...]

Program Operation Pause and Cancel An operating program can be paused or canceled at any time as needed. The pause feature temporarily suspends program operation for up to 10 minutes. When operation resumes, the program continues from the point of interruption without loosing station run time. Use the cancel feature to terminate the program operati[...]

Syringe Mode The Syringe mode enables all stations with a programmed run time in a selected program to be operated for a short, temporary run time (syringe). The amount of run time for the syringe operation can be set from 1 – 30 minutes or by a percentage of programmed station run time from 10% – 99%. To syringe all stations from 1 – 30 minu[...]

Multi-Manual Mode Up to six selected stations can be operated at the same time using Multi-Manual mode. A temporary run time from 1 to 59 minutes is given to each station for this operation. Caution: Prior to Multi-Manual operation, ensure that combined current draw of all stations operating at the same time (including pump relay) does not exceed 3[...]

Set Satellite Address The LTC satellite requires a unique address for identification by the central LCM within the network system. The address consists of a group number (1 – 50) and satellite number (1 – 500). A combination of up to 500 satellites may be defined. Satellites may only be assigned to one group. However, the same satellite number [...]

Reviewing Program Information To review the current operating information entered for any program, use the procedure below. If you need to make changes to any portion of a program or the Time/Day setting, refer to the appropriate procedure in the programming section of this manual. 1. Press to select the Program number indicator. 2. Press or as nee[...]

Radio Calibration T est The radio calibration test enables the LTC to generate three different radio test patterns for use in radio network communications setup. If a radio is not connected, no indication is seen on the TM. The test patterns can be monitored by connecting an oscilloscope or headphones to the modem 2-wire connector. To Perform Radio[...]

T roubleshooting If you experience a controller problem, check the programming for a possible programming error and the list of problems and solutions listed below. If the problem continues, contact your local Toro distributor for assistance. Lithium Battery installation (optional) An optional 3.9V lithium battery (P/N 363-2200) can be installed to[...]

Manual Output Switch Operation A 3-position switch is provided on the Pump/Com module for additional control of the pump relay circuit. In addition, the optional station terminal modules with optional control switches have one switch for each station output. The three switch positions control the circuits as follows: On – Manually activates the c[...]
