After.Solar.Sync.has.been.installed.and.programmed,.it.is.recommended.to.allow.the.system.to.run.for.a.few.days.at.the.initial.setting..
Because.of.the.variety.in.site.conditions.(including.sensor.location,.amount.of.direct.sunlight.available.to.the.sensor,.reflective.heat.from.
surrounding.structures,.etc),.the initial setting may require adjustment in order to arrive at the desired performance..The.calibration.of.the.
Solar.Sync.to.a.particular.site.can.easily.be.accomplished.by.adjusting.the.Region.and/or.Water.Adjustment.settings..The.instructions.below.
outline.this.process:
1.. Install.Solar.Sync.sensor.and.program.the.module.(as.described.in.pages.10–12)
2.. Allow.system.to.operate.at.initial.settings.for.a.minimum.of.3.days
3.. .Observe.the.Seasonal.Adjust.on.the.controller..If.the.Seasonal.Adjust.amount.appears.to.be.lower.or.higher.than.expected.for.that.time.
of.year,.the.Solar.Sync.settings.need.to.be.adjusted..
.
.
a.   Seasonal Adjust too low: Make.sure.controller.dial.is.in.the.“Run”.position..Increase.the.value.on.the.Water.Adjustment.scale.(10.is.max)..
Once.the.setting.is.changed,.the.controller.will.immediately.be.updated.with.the.new.Seasonal.Adjust.%..Increase.the.Water..
Adjustment.setting.until.the.desired.Seasonal.Adjust.%.is.shown..If you max out the Water Adjustment scale at 10 and still require 
more Seasonal Adjust, move down to the next lower region (from region 4 to 3, for example).
.
.
b.  Seasonal Adjust too high:.Make.sure.controller.dial.is.in.the.“Run”.position..Decrease.the.value.on.the.Water.Adjustment.scale.(default.
setting.is.5)..Once.the.setting.is.changed,.the.controller.will.immediately.be.updated.with.the.new.Seasonal.Adjust.%..Decrease.the.
Water.Adjustment.setting.until.the.desired.Seasonal.Adjust.%.is.shown..If you minimize the Water Adjustment scale down to 1 and still 
require a reduction in Seasonal Adjust, move up the next region (from region 2 to 3, for example).
Station run Times:.It.is.important.to.understand.that.Solar.Sync.provides.a.global.seasonal.adjustment.to.the.controller..This.means.that.
all.station.run.times.will.be.modified.by.the.seasonal.adjust.percentage.shown..When.programming.the.controller,.the.run.times.should.be.
entered.that.represent.peak.season.watering.schedules..If.the.Solar.Sync.is.adjusting.to.the.appropriate.seasonal.adjust.value.but.the.run.
time.for.a.particular.station.appears.to.be.too.long/short,.adjust.the.station.run.time.in.the.controller.program..When adjusting station run 
times, make sure the seasonal adjust valve is set to 100%.
