6. Return the dial to the Run position. This is all that
is required for the most basic operations. ACC will
water automatically in any dial position except
“OFF”.
7. Test: The Test program will start every station in the
controller sequentially, in numerical order, for the
specified time. The minimum time is one second
for conventional controllers, and 15 seconds for
decoder controllers. The maximum run time in Test
Program is 15 minutes per station. Turn the dial to
the Run position. Test is started by holding down the
Programs button for 3 seconds. Enter the Test time
and wait 5 seconds for the Test cycle to begin. Each
station LED on the output modules will light green
when a station is running, red if a fault is detected.
Decoder controllers cannot show individual station
activity , but the ADM99 lights will show activity on
the Communicating and Module/Line Activity lights
during operations.
Decoder controllers will start all 99 stations in the
test mode. It does not matter how many decoders
are installed in the field, the controller will try to run
all 99 stations. The controller will receive alarms
for any stations that are not present in the field, or
stations that are not assigned to a decoder. When
running the Test Program in a decoder controller,
you can manually end the Test by turning the dial to
Off after the last “real” station has run.
Test actually starts stations, and this will cause
actual watering in a fully installed system.
8. Manual Start: Turn the dial to the Manual Operation
dial position to manually start any Program, or
single station. When the display shows Manual
Program, use the Programs button to select the
Program, and turn the dial to the Run position. The
program will start in a few seconds. TIP: You can
also hold down the right arrow button for 3 seconds
to shortcut to Manual starts.
9. To start a Single Station: When “Program” is
flashing, use the + button to change to Manual “One
Station”. Use the down arrow to move to the station
number, and +/- to select a station. Use the down
arrow to move to the run time, and +/- to change
the run time (hh:mm:ss format, from 1 second to 6
hours). Turn the dial back to the Run position, and
the station will start within a few seconds.

USING THE INFORMATION BUTTON
The Information button is used to provide programming
tips, summary information and/or to unlock extended
features, depending on the dial position. If a flow meter
is installed, press the Information button (with dial in the
Run position) to see actual flow at any time.
If the backlit display turns off while you are programming
(it will time out after 5 minutes of inactivity), press the
Information button to relight it (to prevent accidental
changing of any settings by pressing the other keys).
Pressing and holding the Information button will change
the screen to either a summary screen of that dial position
or will provide a programming tip. Releasing the button
will return you to the normal programming screen for that
dial position.
Some dial positions have extended features that are
accessible by holding down the Information button, and
then turning the dial to that position.
This will unlock the extended features. Extended
features are features that are protected from accidental
re-programming because they are critical to the proper
operation of the controller. Programming these extended
features is explained in the Extended Features section. The
ACC has the following Extended Features:
• No Water Window
• Delay between Stations
• Making the M/V circuit Normally On (instead of
Normally Off) and M/V circuit location (Controller or
ADM for Decoder controllers)
• Setting the Flow Sensor size and type
• Set individual station parameters (Flow, Limit, and
Delay) and flow sensor location (Controller or ADM
for ICD-SEN sensor decoder)
• Set sensor location: set each sensor to controller,
ADM for for ICD-SEN location, or ET for individual ET
sensors
• SSG (Simultaneous Station Group) setup
• Custom Manual program setup
• Test Program
• Easy Retrieve™ backup
