Weatermatic SL1600 Controller
Indoor / Outdoor Rated

Expandable to 16 stations using the SLM4 4 zone modules

The SmartLine® irrigation controller is designed to maintain the health and quality of your landscape while conserving water to minimize  your operation cost.  The SmartLine® controller can perform Standard timed watering schedules or, with the addition of the optional SLW Series On-Site Weather Station, the controller's Auto Adjust mode will analyze "on site" weather data to automatically set optimum watering times for each zone, based on Weathermatic's patented methodology.  Auto Adjust will also save water by automatically setting run and soak cycles to minimize runoff.

Features and Benefits:

• Modular
  4 - 48 zones with only 4 models; slide-in 2-zone modules in the SL800 and 4-zone and 12-zone modules in the SL1600, SL1624, SL4800 provide expandability for every job and changing landscapes.
• Indoor/Outdoor Rated
  Commercial SL1600, SL1624, SL4800 models keep inventories low with one model for indoor or outdoor use.
• Dial Programming
  Professional contractors can set up any SmartLine controller in munutes;  control panel is removable to allow "in the zone" programming.
• Backlit LCD
  No flashlight required in dark basements and garages.
• Built-In Valve Locator
  Locate hidden valves by simply listening for the audible chatter of the solenoid created by a unique electrical current (patent pending)
• On-Board Multi-Meter
  Displays the electrical current reading of each zone for quick troubleshooting and a proactive approach to maintenance.
• Master Valve/Pump Settings
  Achieve hydraulic control with settings for zone to zone delays and master valve timing.
• Manual Test Settings in Seconds
  Complete a walk-thru in a fraction of the normal time by manual test set to as little as 10 seconds/zone.
• Omit Times/Days/Dates
  Automatically comply with local water restrictions;  eliminate irrigated water lost to evaporation in the heat of the day;  stop irrigation on lawn maintenance days;  never water on the date of an annual event (ex:  July 4th).
