Operating Instructions

1. Understanding the Controls

The timer features a central dial and several buttons:

• Dial: Used to select different programming modes (OFF, Set Clock, Start Time, How Long, How Often, AUTO).
• Zone/OK Button: Selects the watering zone or confirms settings.
• +/- Buttons: Adjusts values (time, duration, frequency).
• Delay Button: Activates or adjusts the rain delay function.
• Manual Button: Initiates manual watering.

2. Setting Current Time (Set Clock)

1. Turn the dial to "Set Clock".
2. Use the +/- buttons to set the current hour (AM/PM or 24-hour format).
3. Press "OK" to confirm and move to minutes.
4. Use the +/- buttons to set the current minutes.
5. Press "OK" to confirm.

3. Programming Watering Zones (Start Time, How Long, How Often)

Each of the four zones can be programmed independently.

Figure 5: Programming parameters for each zone.

1. Select Zone: Press the "Zone" button to cycle through Zone 1, 2, 3, or 4.
2. Set Start Time:
   • Turn the dial to "Start Time".
   • Use +/- to set the desired start hour and minutes.
   • Press "OK" to confirm.
3. Set How Long (Duration):
   • Turn the dial to "How Long".
   • Use +/- to set the watering duration from 10 seconds to 360 minutes.
   • Press "OK" to confirm.
4. Set How Often (Frequency):
   • Turn the dial to "How Often".
   • Use +/- to set the watering frequency (e.g., every 1-23 hours, or every 1-15 days).
   • Press "OK" to confirm.
5. Activate Program: Turn the dial to "AUTO" to activate the programmed schedule for all zones.

4. Sequential Logic

The timer is designed with sequential logic, meaning only one zone will water at a time. If multiple zones are scheduled to start simultaneously, the timer will automatically queue them, running Zone 1, then Zone 2, and so on, to maintain consistent water pressure and flow.

5. Rain Delay Function

To prevent overwatering during rainy periods:

1. Turn the dial to "AUTO".
2. Press the "Delay" button.
3. Use the +/- buttons to select the desired delay duration (1 to 15 days).
4. Press "OK" to confirm. The timer will resume its schedule after the delay period.

6. Child Lock Function

To activate the child lock and prevent accidental changes:

• Ensure the dial is set to "AUTO".
• Long press the "-" button for 5 seconds until a lock icon appears on the display.
• To unlock, long press the "-" button again for 5 seconds.

7. Manual Watering

To initiate watering outside of the programmed schedule:

1. Turn the dial to "AUTO".
2. Press the "Manual" button.
3. Use the +/- buttons to select the desired watering duration (e.g., 1 to 360 minutes).
4. Press "OK" to start manual watering. The timer will return to its programmed schedule after the manual watering is complete.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure continuous operation.
• Winterization: Before the first frost, disconnect the timer from the faucet and hoses. Drain any remaining water and store the timer indoors in a dry, protected area to prevent freezing damage.
• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the timer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the unit in water.
