Timer Overview and Components

The Orbit 2 Outlet Hose Faucet Timer is designed for convenient and automated garden watering.

Timer Components: The timer features a central dial for selecting functions (SET CLOCK, START TIME, HOW LONG, HOW OFTEN, AUTO, OFF). Adjustment buttons (+/-), a MANUAL/CLEAR button, and a RESET button are located nearby. Connections are provided for the faucet and two separate outlets (STATION 1 OUTLET, STATION 2 OUTLET). A filter is located between the faucet connection and the timer body.

Timer Features

• DIAL: Rotate to customize your watering schedule.
• +/- BUTTONS: Use to adjust time and system setup.
• MANUAL: Press to water manually or to clear programming.
• RESET: Press to clear all programming.
• AUTO: Timer waters according to your customized schedule.
• SET CLOCK: Set the time of day.
• START TIME: Select the desired start time for watering.
• HOW LONG: Determine the duration of watering.
• HOW OFTEN: Choose the watering frequency.
• OFF: Turn off all watering.

Installing the Batteries

1. Remove the tray on the back of the timer by sliding or pulling it out.
2. Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and replace the tray.

Note: Firmly replace the battery tray to ensure water resistance and increase battery life. Used or dead batteries must be removed and disposed of properly. Batteries should be removed at the end of the watering season and replaced with new ones at the beginning of the next. Replace batteries when the low battery icon appears on the display. Do not dispose of batteries in fire; they may explode or leak.

Programming the Timer

HOW OFTEN

1. Turn dial to HOW OFTEN.

Note: '1' means every day, '2' means every other day, etc.

3. Turn dial to save changes.

Note: For watering programs set up to run more frequently than once every 24 hours, your timer will use the watering interval to determine its first start time, rather than the start time you have entered for that program.

Congratulations! Your timer is now programmed. Turn your dial to AUTO to allow your timer to water according to programmed time, station, duration, and frequency.

Additional Features

RAIN DELAY

Rain delay allows you to postpone watering for a set period of time. To access rain delay:

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the + button to select a delay of 24 hrs, 48 hrs, or 72 hrs.
2. The screen will flash between the clock and hours remaining before the programmed cycle resumes.

Note: To remove rain delay, turn the dial to OFF and then back to AUTO.

MANUAL/HAND WATERING

This feature allows you to water without interrupting your set schedule. To access this feature:

1. With the dial on AUTO, press the MANUAL button.
2. Use the + and – buttons to select watering time, from 1 to 240 minutes. (There will be a slight delay between the time the + button is pressed and when watering begins.)

Note: To stop manual watering, turn the dial to OFF and then back to AUTO.

OFF MODE

Turning the dial to the OFF position at any time during the day will reset the timer’s internal timing and will clear a RAIN DELAY or MANUAL watering. This will also cancel all scheduled watering times for the day until the next programmed START TIME. If you turn the dial back to AUTO, the timer will not water until the next day, beginning at your desired programmed START TIME.

Example: You have a 6:00 AM START TIME with HOW OFTEN set to 6-hour intervals. If you turn the dial to OFF at 10:00 AM today, the timer will not water until tomorrow at 6:00 AM. The 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 12:00 AM watering times for today have been cancelled.
