Section 1: Introduction
Thank you for selecting an Orbit® sprinkler timer. Orbit® designers
have combined the simplicity and accuracy of digital electronics to
give you a timer that is both easy to program and extremely versatile.
The Orbit® timer provides convenience and flexibility, letting you
run a fully automatic, a semi-automatic, or a manual watering program for all your watering needs.
Please read the manual completely before you install or use this
sprinkler timer.
To assist you, we have included some notable features to
this manual.
1. Glossary of the most common terms (see page 17)
2. Blue Text relates to the buttons used for programming
3. Blue Underlined Text relates to stop positions for both
rotary dial and slide switches.
Programming Features
Dual Programs
This Timer has two programs (“Program A” and “Program B”)
that allow you to set up separate watering schedules for your Lawn,
Gardens or Shrubs.
Fail-Safe Program
If the timer loses AC power, the existing program, date and time will
not be lost. After the AC power returns, the timer will recall the last
program into memory. If both the AC power is lost and the battery
is dead or missing, the user will have to reprogram the timer.
Water Budgeting
This feature is ideal when adjusting to seasonal watering demands.
Instead of reprogramming your timer, the “Water Budget Mode” will
enable easy adjustments to watering duration by ten percent increments from 10%-200%. For example, a budget percentage set at
70% will alter a 10-minute preset watering duration to 7 minutes.
Start-Time Stacking
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.
Section 2: Getting Started
Programming the timer can be accomplished in just a few basic
steps. Before you begin programming, it is important to install the
battery, set the time of day and date, and establish a watering plan.
To activate battery, pull the narrow black plastic strip out, this
is protruding out the top panel.
Replacing the Battery
The timer requires one CR2032 Lithium battery to keep the program
in memory in case of AC power loss. In a typical installation, the
battery should provide sufficient power for approximately one year
of protection. Therefore, we recommend changing the battery every
year.
• Remove the battery cover by sliding it upward.
• Insert one CR2032 battery into the battery compartment.
• Return the battery cover to its closed position.
A weak or missing battery can cause the time, date, and program
to be erased after a power failure. If this happens, you will need to
install a fully charged battery and reprogram the timer.
Note: A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling
system. The sprinkler timer has a build-in transformer that must be connected to an AC line voltage source.
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. Do not press

the RESET button again unless you want to completely remove all
your programming.
Set the Time of Day and Date
• Turn the rotary dial to the TIME/DATE position.
• 12:00 PM will appear in the display with three arrows
pointing to the year, month, and day. [See Figure 1]
• Press and hold the button to advance the clock to the cor-
rect time of day. Use the button to go in reverse. When the
correct time of day is reached, press the ENTER button to
lock in the time. To increase or decrease more rapidly, hold
down either the or buttons until the display goes into
rapid advance mode.
• A blinking cursor will appear below the arrow for the year,
month, and date when programming.
• Use the and buttons to set the correct year, then press
ENTER.
• Use the and buttons to set the correct month, then press
ENTER.
• Use the and buttons to set the correct date, then press
ENTER. The display will show the correct time and date.
Note: If a watering schedule is not entered into the timer, the factory
installed fail-safe program will turn on each station every day for 10 minutes. To avoid accidental station activation, either turn the rotary switch
to off or enter a watering schedule.

Determine a Watering Plan
To help you visualize how best to program the sprinkler timer, it
might be helpful to make a watering plan on paper. This will help
you establish which days and times you want to water. [See Figure 2]
1. For each station (or valve) write down the watering location,
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.
• Program A allows you to select specific days of the week to
water (e.g. Monday, Wednesday and and Saturday) as well
as every second day (every other day).
• Program B allows you to specify 2 options:
- Interval Watering - Interval watering is used to water at
an interval from 1 to 28 days. An interval of 1 will water
every day; an interval of 2 will water every other day, etc.
- Odd or Even Days - The sprinkler timer can be selected
to only water on Odd days or Even days. The odd/even
schedule is based on the date.

Section 3: Programming
Using your watering plan, determine which program you will need to
use (A, B or both A and B) and go to the appropriate section (below) for
programming help.
Program A - Day(s) of Week
STEP 1. SET THE “START TIME(s)”
Note: The cycle start time is the time the program begins watering the
first station. Cycle start times do not correspond to specific stations.
• Turn the dial to the CYCLE START TIMES position in
“Program A”. The display will show an “A” and a blinking
cursor should be next to “Cycle Start Time 1” (on the left side
of the LCD). If not, push the NEXT key until the curser is
next to “Cycle Start Time 1”. [See Figure 3]
• Set the time you want to begin watering for start time 1 using
the or keys, then press the ENTER key. The curser
should now be at “Cycle Start Time 2” and begin blinking.
IMPORTANT: Entering additional start times (2 through 4) will
repeat the watering program for the same designated watering day.
Generally, only one cycle start time is required for “Program A”.
For more information on “Multiple Start Times” go to the
“Automatic Operation and Commonly used Features” section on
page 10.
STEP 2: WATERING DURATIONS
To set the duration for each station/zone assigned to “Program A”
do the following:
• Turn the rotary dial to the STATION DURATION position in
“Program A”. The display will show an “A” and MINS. [See
Figure 4]
• Press the NEXT key until the cursor blinks over the station
first station assigned to “Program A”. Using the “Watering Plan”
as our example, this would be station 1. [See Figure 2]
• Press and hold the or key to enter the watering duration
and press the ENTER key. You should see an “A” over the
Station just programmed. [See Figure 4]
• Following the steps above, set the watering duration for each
remaining station assigned to “Program A” (15 min for station
2 and 30 min for both Stations 3 and 4 in our example).
• To skip a station, press the NEXT key.
• To erase previously programmed watering durations, press the
CLEAR key.
STEP 3: ASSIGNING WATERING DAYS
• Turn the rotary dial to DAYS OF WEEK in “Program A”. The
