Section 2: Getting Started
Programming the sprinkler timer can be accomplished in just a few
basic steps. Before you begin programming, it is important to:
• Install the batteries
• Reset the sprinkler timer
• Select the preferred language
• Set the time of day and date
• Determine a watering plan.
Installing the Batteries
This sprinkler timer requires two AA alkaline batteries to store the
program in memory during AC power loss. Fully charged batteries
should provide sufficient power for approximately one year of
protection. Annual battery replacement is recommended.
• Slide the battery cover to the left
[See Figure 1]
• Insert two AA alkaline batteries
• Replace the battery cover
Weak or missing batteries can cause the time, date, and program to
be erased after a power failure. If this happens, you will need to
install fully charged batteries and reprogram the sprinkler timer.
Note: Batteries only retain the program in memory. They will not operate
the valves in your sprinkling system.
Resetting the Sprinkler Timer
If this is the first time the sprinkler timer has been programmed, you
should press the small recessed button labeled RESET. Pressing reset
does not affect the factory installed fail-safe program.
[See Figure 2]
Do not press the reset button again unless you want to completely
remove all your programming.

the type of sprinkler head and the plants to be watered.
2. Using this list, determine the recommended watering duration
(for each type of sprinkler head and the vegetation to be
watered) and frequency for each station.
Important: Identify any imposed watering restrictions through your
local water district.
3. Determine, based on step 2, the ideal watering option for each
station (Days of Week, Watering Interval or Odd/Even Days).

• An indoor, dry location, where operating temperatures are not
below 32° or above 158° Fahrenheit (0 degrees or above 70
degrees Celsius)
• Avoid direct sunlight
• Access to sprinkler wire (from valves)
2. Mounting the Sprinkler Timer
• Using the mounting template (included) mark the screw
locations on the wall.
• Insert a No. 8 screw (included) in the upper mark, leaving the
screw head about 1/8th (3mm) out from the wall. (Use the
expanding anchors in plaster or masonry if necessary.)
• Slip the keyhole slot in the back of the sprinkler timer over the
extended screw.
[See Figure 23]
• Screw a No. 8 screw through the two holes located behind the
batteries in the battery compartment.
3. Install the Batteries
Two AA alkaline batteries are required to retain the program in memory
during power loss. Annual replacement is recommended.
• Remove the battery cover by sliding it to the left.
[See Figure 24]
• Insert two AA alkaline batteries

• Replace the battery cover
Note: Batteries alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling system.
The 24-volt transformer must be plugged in and have power to operate
your system normally.
4. Connecting the Transformer
• With the cover off, find the two terminal holes labeled
“24VAC IN” [See Figure 25]
• Insuring the transformer is not plugged in; insert one of two
power leads (from the transformer) into each terminal.
Note: It may be necessary to open the terminal to allow for wire insertion
or removal. This is done by pressing upward on the tab located on top of
the terminal.
• Plug in the transformer.
Warning: Do not link two or more sprinkler timers together with
one transformer.
Section 8: Wiring Valves, Sprinkler Timer,
Pump Start and Master Valves
1. Wiring the Electric Valves
Note: If the distance between the sprinkler timer and valves is under 700'
(210 m), use Orbit
®
sprinkler wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed
thermostat wire to connect the sprinkler timer to the valves. If the distance
is over 700' (210 m), use 16 gauge (AWG) wire.
