Battery Installation
(Refer to the diagram showing a hand inserting the battery compartment into the timer, with a downward arrow indicating the direction of insertion.)
- Remove the timer cover.
- Pull the battery compartment out of the timer.
- Remove the battery cover.
- Install two 9-volt alkaline batteries. Refer to the battery compartment for the correct orientation of the batteries (as shown in diagrams of the timer's dials).
- Place the battery compartment back in the timer.
- Two fresh 9-volt alkaline batteries should last for an entire watering season.
- When the battery voltage is below a safe operating voltage, the valve will not open and the timer will beep. The batteries should be replaced when either or both of these conditions exist.
Set the Watering Interval (Dial A)
Turn the Interval Dial (A) to the desired watering interval. (Refer to diagrams of the timer's dials, specifically showing Dial A).
- Once - the valve will open once for the amount of time set on the Duration dial and then remain inactive until the Interval dial is rotated to another setting.
- 2 hr - the water will come on every two hours.
- 4 hr - the water will come on every four hours.
- 8 hr - the water will come on every eight hours.
- 12 hr - the water will come on every twelve hours.
- Daily - the water will come on once every day.
- 2nd day - the water will come on every other day.
- 3rd day - the water will come on every third day.
- 4th day - the water will come on every fourth day.
- 7th day - the water will come on once a week.
Important Notes on Watering Intervals
The time of day when the interval is programmed becomes the reference time and should be recorded using the interval reminder slider.
The watering interval will begin after the dial has been stationary for 1 second. Whenever the Interval dial is rotated, the interval resets to the new setting.
The water will not come on until after the first complete interval. For example, if the timer is programmed at noon and the Interval dial is set to come on every four hours, the valve will open at four o'clock. If immediate watering is desired, then a manual watering interval may be started.
Set the Watering Duration (Dial B)
Rotate the Duration Dial (B) to the desired watering duration. (Refer to diagrams of the timer's dials, specifically showing Dial B).
- OFF - the valve will close and remain closed when the dial is in this setting.
- ON - the valve will open and remain open when the dial is in this setting.
- 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min - the water will come on automatically at the intervals shown by the Interval dial and remain on for the chosen duration before automatically switching off.
To change the watering duration while the valve is open, simply rotate the dial to the new duration. The valve will remain open for the duration shown on the Duration dial regardless of how long the valve had been open prior to the change.
Specific Watering Modes
Watering Once
Turn the Interval dial (A) to the 'Once' setting and turn the Duration dial (B) to the desired setting. The valve will open for the duration shown on the Duration dial (B) and then close. The timer will remain inactive until the Interval dial (A) is rotated to a new setting, or until the valve is activated manually.
Manual Watering
Turn the Duration dial (B) to the 'ON' setting. The valve will open and remain open until the dial is rotated to another setting. The dial can be rotated to a duration setting, and the valve will remain open for that amount of time. The watering interval is not interrupted when the valve is operated manually.
Additional Features and Indicators
To Turn the Valve Off
Rotate the Duration Dial (B) to the 'OFF' setting. The valve will not open while the dial is in this setting. The watering interval will continue uninterrupted while the Duration dial is in the OFF setting.
Interval Reminder
The timer has an interval reminder built-in to help remind you when the water should come on next. It has no programming function and is only an aid for remembering when the watering interval was programmed. To use the reminder, simply slide it to the hour setting that represents the time of day the watering interval was set.
Low Battery Indication
When the battery voltage level drops below the ideal operating voltage, the valve will close and the timer will begin to beep. The batteries should be replaced with two fresh alkaline batteries as soon as possible.
Maintenance and Off-Season Storage
- Remove the timer from the faucet during the winter or during extended periods of inactivity.
- Open and close the valve several times to allow the water to drain out.
- Remove the batteries and clean the battery contacts. Discard the batteries if signs of corrosion are present.
- Store the timer in a warm dry location.
Troubleshooting Checklist
- ✔️ Batteries are installed properly.
- ✔️ New alkaline batteries are installed.
- ✔️ The hose faucet is turned on.
- ✔️ Try operating the timer manually by rotating the Duration dial (B) to the ON setting.
