The cabinet includes a keyed lock and a swing-out wiring panel so you can mount it inside a garage or on an exterior wall. A, B, and C program banks plus multiple start times and cycle-and-soak options let you tune run times to plant types and soil conditions while the automatic runtime stacking prevents multiple valves from running at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I set different watering programs for separate areas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can create up to three independent programs (A, B, C) and assign any of the 6 to 12 stations to those programs.
