Rain Dial RD-600 Programming: Separate Schedules for Bushes (A) and Trees (B)

Programming Rain Dial RD-600 for bushes (every 2 days) and trees (every 3 days) on separate programs requires using Program A and Program B independently.

Step-by-Step

1. Switch to SET PROGRAM (bottom switch).
2. Program A (Bushes):
   • A/B/C switch → A
   • Station 1 run time → desired minutes
   • Stations 2–6 → OFF
   • Skip Days → 2
   • Start Time 1 → 7:00 AM
   • Start Times 2,3 → OFF
3. Program B (Trees):
   • A/B/C switch → B
   • Station 1 → OFF
   • Station 2 run time → desired minutes
   • Stations 3–6 → OFF
   • Skip Days → 3
   • Start Time 1 → 8:00 AM (after A finishes)
   • Start Times 2,3 → OFF
4. Program C: All stations OFF (clean slate)
5. Set TODAY:
   • Switch → A, Today → 1 (water tomorrow) or 2 (water today)
   • Switch → B, Today → 2 (water today) or 3 (water tomorrow)
6. Bottom switch → RUN. Both programs run independently.

Result

Bushes: every 2 days. Trees: every 3 days. Staggered starts prevent pressure conflict.

Skip Days = interval. Today = day-of-cycle to start. Master this, you master the Rain Dial.
