Installing the Timer

Follow these steps to install the timer onto your faucet:

1. Turn off the garden faucet.
2. Wrap Teflon Tape around the faucet threads.
3. Screw the timer to the garden faucet. Position the display as vertically as possible to the ground to prevent rainwater from accumulating and leaking into the interior.

Tips: If the connection between the timer and the faucet or hose is not tight or leaking, wrap more Teflon Tape (thread seal tape) to make them tight.

Programming the Timer

Step 0: Understanding Zones

This is a two-zone timer allowing you to water two different areas from the same faucet. Each zone can be programmed with independent start time, duration, and frequency.

Note: Dual zones operating simultaneously have lower water pressure than a single zone because the water pressure is divided between the two zones.

Please design the program separately for each ZONE:

1. First, set up ZONE 1 by following steps 1-4 below. Then turn the dial to "ON" to save the changes.
2. Press the "ZONE" button to select ZONE 2, and follow steps 2-4 to set it up. Turn the dial to "ON" to save all plans.

Step 1: Set Clock

To set the current time:

1. Turn the dial to "SET CLOCK". Use the "+" or "-" button to select 24-hour or 12-hour format and press "OK" to confirm.
2. Use the "+" or "-" button to set the current exact time. If you choose the 12-hour format, please note the AM and PM indicators.
3. Use the "OK" button to confirm and switch between hours or minutes.
4. Turn the dial clockwise to save the changes for this step and proceed to the next.

TIPS: When the setup of this step is finished, please turn the dial to save the changes instead of pressing the "OK" button. If you press "OK" after setting, it will return to the previous setting instead of saving it.

TIPS: When the setup of this step is finished, please turn the dial to save the changes instead of pressing the "OK" button. If you press "OK" after setting, it will return to the previous setting instead of saving it.

Step 4: How Often

To set the watering frequency for each zone:
