PROGRAMMING YOUR TIMER ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Installing the Valve

After ﬂushing line, install the valve using appropriate ﬁttings (not included) for your system (see ﬁgure below). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Do not use pipe joining compound. Use thread seal tape only. Note arrow on valve for water ﬂow direction.

Valves have tapered ﬁttings and therefore require seven to eight turns of thread seal tape to prevent leaking and to guard against the connections bottoming out. To prevent possible leaking, make sure that the valve, ﬁttings and pipe are properly aligned.

Test the System

After all pipe and ﬁttings have been installed, turn the water supply on and check for leaks with the valve closed.

The system is now ready to be controlled electrically from the timer or manually by opening the manual lever/screw.

Draining

In freezing areas, the valves and lines will need to be drained. Refer to the Orbit® Layout Guide or local dealer to recommend proper drain points. To insure the electric valve is completely drained in the fall, turn off the main sprinkler shutoff valve and electrically run each valve dry for a few minutes. Turn timer to the OFF position.

Cautions

• Check local codes for valve types and

permit information.

• If static water pressure exceeds 80 psi, a

pressure regulator should be used.

• For outdoor use with cold water only. Not

for indoor use. Place valves so they drain away from the house.

Notes

• Where possible, always protect valves

with an Orbit® Valve Box and place gravel in the bottom.

• Test all lines and ttings before burying

the system.

• Use a lter if you will not be using

culinary water in your system.

Connect the timer to the valve after you have programmed it. This timer will only operate with DC solenoids that have been included in the package. Replace any original solenoids on valves connected to the timer with these DC solenoids.

1. Make sure the main timer unit is fully inserted into the docking bay.

2. Twist on the protective timer cover tight enough to ensure a waterproof, dirtproof seal. Do not over-tighten.

Connecting Timer to Valve

1. Attach timer clip to valve solenoid.

2. Remove plug from the recepticle marked “1” on the bottom of the timer.

3. Insert wire connector into the recepticle marked “1” on the bottom of the timer. Ensure that the connector fully seats into the recepticle.

4. Attach timer to timer clip.

5. Rotate dial to OFF. Wait 60 seconds to

allow the timer to close all valves.

6. Rotate dial to AUTO and replace cap.
