The ACC2 Controller can have a maximum of 64 RUN TYPES (events) for each program that may consist of a station, a block (a group of stations), and/or a station delay.
- Station: A group of sprinklers (rotors, sprays, etc.) connected to an irrigation valve.
- Block: Blocks may have up to 8 stations in each group similar to SSGs in the original ACC model. Learn more
- Delay: This option will allow extra time between specific stations and blocks (this will only show dashes).
When the run times are set up, the ADJUSTED RUN TIMES show the effects of the current Seasonal Adjust settings on the base run time. If a run time is set to 10 minutes, but Seasonal Adjust is at 50%, the Adjusted Run Time will show 5 minutes. The Seasonal Adjust amount is not changed in this screen, but can be set from the Programs menu, or automatically by a Solar Sync® Sensor.

If you are running stations in numerical order, you can use the soft key for Fill Down. This will automatically add 1 to the previous station number, and copy the run time on the next line. For example, if you entered Station 1, 5 minutes, and then pressed Fill Down, it would add Station 2 for 5 minutes on the next line. This is a shortcut for quickly copying sequential run times.
NOTE: The Run Type or Number must be highlighted for the Fill Down to populate. You can also Delete any item from the list. Scroll to the item, and press Delete. You can also Insert an item above any selected line in the list. Scroll to an item, and press Insert Line. A blank line will appear above it.
The ACC2 Controller can run any station or block in any order. For example, you could insert station 3 between stations 1 and 2. The program would run 1, 3, 2, in that order.
