From Rain Bird Website:

As a general rule, Palmetto St Augustine grass should receive ¾-1” of water once a week from irrigation or rainfall.

Place pans around lawn and turn sprinkler zone on and see how long it takes to get 1" in the pans.

They also recommend watering in the morning before it gets too hot and the water evaporates before it has a chance to seep into the ground.
