Abstract:
An irrigation controller and valves incorporating an irrigation controller, which have user allocatable identification numbers, is disclosed. The controller and valves are programmed when to operate according to their identification number, and the program is uploaded and stored in each controller or valve as the case may be, together with clock data. The controller and valves then perform time keeping and operate according to the stored program. The controller and valves are intended to be battery operated, obviating the need to install wiring to connect the valves back to a central controller. This allows simplified installation and programming, and provides improved flexibility in programming of irrigation.

Claim (Index 14):
An irrigation system comprising a user settable external control unit including a processor for storing watering data for one of more electrically operable valves contained within flow control valve units as claimed in  claim 13  and/or contained within one or more flow control valve controllers as claimed in  claim 1 , said watering data including start time and run time or stop time for each of said electrically operable valve, a real time clock for tracking at least the time and preferably the day of the week, a user interface for entering said watering data, and an output interface to transmit said watering data to a said flow control valve unit or a said flow control valve controller.
