Can you manually run all zones with a single start, or can you only run 1 zone at a time manually? My old Hunter had a "manual all stations" choice.

Hi JacobSorry for the delay in getting back to you but I wanted to be 100% sure of my answer.You definitely can run all zones with a single start. Although I had done it a couple of times myself this past summer, I went to the owner's manual to confirm. All you need to do is press the "right" pointing arrow button for 2 seconds and the controller starts watering per your program. Good luck.

Hello JacobI am 99% sure you can run manually all zones with a single start. I will check the owner's manual when I go home tonight and confirm my answer later on.

Yes, you manually advance the controller to zone one and it will then cycle through the others.
180871
No; you have to run each station manually on at the time. There is no "all stations manual run".

Too manually start all stations at once (in sequence) arrow over to your first station and it will automatically start and run through the stations.

I use this switch for a bathroom fan that acts as my home's fresh air turnover. Since I improved my home's air tightness, I have to cycle the fan periodically throughout the day. I have a program set that runs it about 1/2 an hour, four or five times a day (I believe there are 50 programmable points throughout any given day). What I've noticed, though, is that if you click the switch to manually override it (turning off when it's on, or on when it's off), it switches to manual mode indefinitely. You would not have it automatically switch back to auto mode after 24hrs. But with the extreme flexibility in programming you should be able to set it up to suit your needs. If you wanted to run a solid 24hrs every other day you could do that. But I don't believe that there's a way to jump back to the other mode (auto) once you're in one already (manual). BUT...I could be wrong!! It would be a good idea to search the Leviton site for the manual on this model and investigate the manual/auto switching. Cheers! -Tim

You can run one zone at a time (to the best of my knowledge) up to 240 minutes (4 hours) per zone, but you can water a zone up to 4 times per day if you have areas that require lots of water but you don't want them to be flooded. For example; during the summer months I water each zone twice in the early morning hours for 15 minutes each , so they get 30 minutes of water but the second watering doesn't start until the end of the first cycle. This maximized water absorption into the ground and minimized run off.

You can do both. If you want to manually water all zones, leave the dial on "Auto Run" and press the "water all now" button and at that moment all your zones would be watered according to the minutes you had set for each zone. It also waters each zone separately if you Do Not want all the zones to be turned on. All you have to do is turn the Dial to the Zone you want to turn on and press the "Water One Zone Now" button. It also lets you choose the amount of minutes to be watered.

Yes. With the controller in the "off" position, manual mode defaults to 10 minutes. for whatever zone you chose. With the controller in the "auto run" position, you can run manually from zone 1 followed by the next zone until you stop. Each zone defaults to 30 minutes.

No, you can only use one feature at a time. I don't find this to be a problem but others might.

The only issue you might have is that A & B can only be programmed to run consecutively on the same day. You cannot have A on every day while only running B on Thursday. That is a problem for us as we are restricted on which days we can water lawns, while flowerbeds are unrestricted. We 're still looking for the perfect 2 zone system that allows completely independent programming of each zone.

This system can be programmed to water any zone up to 4 times/day (or be turned off) independently of the other zones. You can only set the initial zone start time, the following times are done by the system's internal software. If you want to water specifically @ 6AM and 6PM (your example of AM/PM watering), for example - nope this unit won't do that. You can only set the initial start time not any of the following starts.

I have this unit for a few years, and I am very happy with it. It is not a dual zone system. Only one indoor unit.

Thanks for your question. This is not a zone-free player. It is a wonderful player.

Technically you can set them all to go off at the same time but I find the water pressure isn't what I need to do that in my garden. So... I run each zone or two at different times. Hope that helps answer your question.

Be careful, you can only monitor one zone with their free account. If you want to monitor more than one zone, you'll need to upgrade subscription plans and pay a monthly fee.

No thermostat can possibly control two zones. The whole purpose of having more than one zone is that the thermostats are in separate places and can regulate the heat independently. So since this is one tstat that is in only one place, it can't do that. Buy two and you are good. Or if you are cheap, you can wire one tstat to run 2 systems, but you've then just turned your multizone system into a single zone system.

Sure. I do that at times. Just set up the one zone for a start time, a length of run time, and leave the other zones un scheduled.

Beth Mulligan unfortunately on the timed side all 4 will be on the same time. Just lets you set the time for when you want it on/ off. Hope this helps you out some.

Hi-I had a pro installer put our system in who was familiar with this pioneer line-He had alot of trouble with this issue. Basically you have to have separate inputs for ZONE 2-then you have to switch to zone 2 on the controller. For some reason when I want to switch to zone 2 I have to hit the power button. Once you are on zone 2 you then choose your input source. This system was not very user friendly,,,,but it sounds good.

I don't know how many zones it will handle. I would not buy Dakota Alert again. They no longer work very well, compared to the product they used to make!.
