• Two-color indicator status light provides
the following in-formation :
• No light :No 230V input. Any power
outage is indicated by a blinking icon in
the form of a plug which appears in
the lower left corner of the LCD display
• Steady green light : Controller is operating
normally
• Blinking green light : Controller is
operating normally,but a sensor has
prevented watering.This occurs when an
RSD-BEx Rain Sensor or a Rain Check
automatic rain shutoff device is used.
• Steady red light : Overload or system
shutdown mode
• Built-in standby watering schedule :
each station operates once a day for 10
minutes beginning 8 hours after power
resumes in case a program is lost due to
extended power failure.
The default schedule assigns all stations to program A. An icon appears on the LCD
and remains displayed until a key is pressed. The controller must be reprogrammed.
• Diagnostic automatic circuit breaker : the SI-RR+ controller has an electrical overload/
short circuit protection system which only shuts down the station with the electrical
problem.Example :station 3 has a problem.The number “3 ” will appear on the LCD along
with this blinking icon . The controller will continue to water with all other operable
stations and bypass the problem one.The icon will disappear if you press the key .
Locate and fix the problem and the controller will return to normal operation of that
station at the next cycle.
• Sensor status indicator : there is a 2-color lamp (LED)on the front panel of the control-
ler. If your system includes a sensor device such as an RSD-BEx Rain Sensor or a RAIN
CHECK automatic rain shutoff, the LED indicates whether or not unnecessary irrigation
has been prevented. Steady green light : the program is operating normally. Blinking
greeen light : the program is operating normally but the sensor has prevented irrigation.
Note : if you do not use a sensor, make sure that the two terminals marked “S ” are
cross-connected (jumpered).

5/Set water budget
(Modify the water application).
Icon : percentage sign
The controller has a Water Budget function used to adjust
watering times for each program from 0 to 200 % without
re-setting the watering time for each station.
Repeatedly press the key until this display appears.
Use the ABC key to select the program you wish to water budget.
In this example, it is program A.
Use the +/ON and -/OFF keys to set the Water Budget in
increments of 10 %. 100 % is the starting point. The duration
in this case will be what you have already programmed. To
reduce the watering time, use the -/OFF key. Example :
“80” in the display means you have reduced the watering
time by 20 % on all stations. An initial duration of 10 minutes
which you previously programmed will now be cut to 8 minutes. Use the +/ON key to increase the
watering time.
Note : make sure that the increase in watering time does not result in program overlap.
6/ Set the delay between stations
Icon : dL
The SI-RR+ has a function to allow the programming of a start delay between each station assigned
to the same program. During the delay, no station will operate. The delay can be set from 0 to 99
seconds.You can set a different delay between stations assigned to the A, B and C programs. Note that
the delay does not affect the pump start or the opening of a master valve (Terminal P). and the start
time of the first station in a program. Also note that the pump or the master valve will remain
activated during the delay between two stations.
Repeatedly press the key until this screen is displayed. Use the
ABC key to select the program for which you wish a delay between
each station. Set the delay by pressing the +/ON or the -/OFF keys.
The setting is in 1-second increments from 0 to 99 seconds.
The default setting is “0” which means that there is no delay phase
between stations. The maximum setting is 99 seconds.

During the delay phase a screen similar to this is displayed. In this
example, the next station scheduled to operate is station 5 assigned
to program C. The remaining time delay is counted down second by
second until “0”.
If this function is not programmed, there is no delay between
stations.
