Section 1: Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Orbit® Touch-Screen Timer. Our
designers have combined the simplicity of touch-screen
programming with the flexibility and accuracy of digital
electronics to give you a timer that is easy to program and
extremely versatile. This convenient timer lets you run
automatic or manual watering programs with a wide spectrum
of features, including remote control operations.
Please read this manual completely before you begin
programming and using the timer.
Important Features and Capabilities
PC Programmable
Visit www.orbitonline.com to download software which will
allow you to program and monitor your timer from your home
computer.
Dual Programs
The timer offers two programs – Program A and Program B – for
watering flexibility. Any of the watering stations can be assigned
to either program. For example, stations that water your garden
and flower beds could be assigned to Program A and watered
daily starting at 8 a.m., while stations that water your lawn
could be assigned to Program B and watered every third day
starting at 5 a.m.
“Stacking” Feature
When a start time is set before the previous program has
completed, that start time will be “stacked” or delayed, and will
start upon completion of the previous program.

Docking Port
This timer has been designed for convenience and “armchair”
programming. The timer’s docking port is mounted on a wall
and all wires are connected to it. The main timer unit can be
easily and quickly slid on and off the docking port, allowing
you to take the timer virtually anywhere to create or change
watering programs.
Remote Control Capabilities (Not included on all models)
This timer can be controlled by the included remote control
device via a radio frequency (RF) receiver and antennae, both
of which are built into the timer. The remote control device
allows you to turn stations on and off on the spot and to
perform programming tasks from anywhere within range. The
433 megahertz remote frequency is approved for use in the
United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, and permits an
effective line-of-sight range of 300 feet (reduced to 200 feet
with obstructions).
Programming Information Stored Safely in
Non-Volatile Memory
All programming information for Program A and Program
B is stored indefinitely in the timer’s non-volatile memory
(EEPROM) and internal memory. This high-end feature means
your programming won’t be lost or erased if the power and
batteries go out.
Convenient, Easy-to-Read Touch-Screen LCD Display
The timer’s back-lit, touch-screen LCD display screen is
conveniently programmed and easy to read under any lighting
conditions. You may use either your finger or the built-in stylus
on the touch screen.
(See Figure 1)
Choice of Five Languages
You can easily set the LCD display to read in any of five
languages: English, Spanish, French, German or Italian.
Water Budgeting
This convenient feature provides a quick, easy way to increase
or decrease the watering durations of all stations in both
programs to match seasonal watering needs. You won’t have to
adjust each station’s watering time individually.
Rain Sensor (Optional)
An optional rain sensor can be purchased separately to prevent
programmed watering for a period of time after rain falls
(determined by the amount of rain and how quickly the
sensors dry out). If your unit is RF capable then you can use a
wireless sensor. Otherwise a hard-wired sensor can be used.
