Toro EC-XTRA Landscape Timer, 6-Zone (53794) Installation Guide

Selecting Program Start Times
A program start time is the time of day you select to 

begin an automatic program watering cycle.  

 

When a program starts, each zone assigned to the  

program will water in numerical order, one at a time for 

its set run time. 
Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program 

more than one time per day. For example, when germi-

nating a new lawn. The ECXTRA enables each program 

to have up to four separate start times per day. 
Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. These 

numbers are shown at the top left of the display next to 

the start time symbol

when the control dial is in the

 

position and indicate how many start times 

are currently set for the program. 
This illustration shows how  

a program start time is dis-

played. In this example,  

program A has one start time 

(start time number 1) set  

for 3:00 

am

.

Setting the Zone Run Time
A zone run time is the length of time the zone (controlled 

by the valve) will water during the program watering 

cycle. The run time for each zone can be set from Off 

(no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments. 
A zone is assigned to a program when it is given a run 

time. If the run time for a zone is turned Off in a program, 

it will not operate during the program watering cycle. 

This is how the ECXTRA enables you to assign zones to 

different programs.
Each zone can have a different run time assigned in each 

program. For example, zone 1 could be set to run for 15 

minutes in program A and 10 minutes in program B.
All zones assigned to the program are shown on the 

lower portion of the display when the control dial is in the

 

position

. 

This illustration shows how  

zone run time is displayed. In 

this example, zones 1–6 are 

assigned to program A. Zone 1 

has a 10-minute run time and 

zone 2 is set to run for 25 min-

utes. The zone run time being 

displayed is identified by the 

flashing zone number. Note the 

run time symbol is shown to 

indicate that zone run time is 

being set.
