[. . . ] After reviewing or changing a watering schedule, remember to turn the rotary dial back to AUTO. 5:00 FIGURE 3: LCD Display with Surrounding Information Ready for Automatic Operation After programming is complete, turn the rotary dial to AUTO [See Figure 8]. The Timer is now fully programmed and ready to use in the automatic mode. In automatic mode, each program will operate sequentially, starting with Program-A. MODELS 57114, 57161, 57162, 91150, 91046, 91054, 94122, 94124, 94126 Caution: 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 valve activation, either turn the rotary dial to OFF or enter a watering schedule. Establish a Watering Schedule To help you visualize how best to program the Timer, it might be helpful to make a watering plan on paper. [. . . ] Programming Keys The Timer has seven push button keys for setup and program entry. Working in conjunction with the rotary selector, the keys are used to set the time of day, watering time, watering days, start times, and other functions. FIGURE 1: Location of Controls on the Timer 3. Selector Dial This large dial makes it easy to see which function is currently selected and/or in which mode the Timer is set to operate. FIGURE 4: LCD Display with Start Time 4. Reset Button The reset button clears the time, date and user-defined programming but does not remove the factory installed fail-safe program. To prevent an accidental reset, the button is recessed into the panel and must be pressed with a small pointed object such as a pen or pencil tip. Water Duration for Program A or B Note: Both programs require watering durations to be programmed. Turn the rotary dial to ZONE DURATION position in either the A or B program. The display will show which program you have selected with an "A" or "B" and the - - cursor blinking at station "1" [See Figure 5]. (All stations cycle once, A program only) To activate stations assigned watering duration for the A program only, press the MANUAL key, followed by the NEXT key. This will activate stations with assigned watering durations in the A program only. To initiate this semi-automatic watering, press ENTER [See Figure 11]. (All stations cycle once, B program only) Notable Programming Features Two Watering Programs--Summary The Timer gives you the option of using one or both of the independent programs. Note that each station can independently be set to either A or B or both A and B programs. To activate stations assigned watering durations for the B program only, press the MANUAL key, followed by pressing the NEXT key two distinct times. In a typical installation, fully charged batteries should provide sufficient power for approximately three years of operation. Return the terminal cover to its closed position. Assigning Watering Intervals for Program B Program B is used to water at specific intervals between days (1 to 28), or on odd or even calender dates. The Timer has a leap-year compensator and will ensure conformance to the odd and even schedule through the year 2100. Turn the rotary dial to WATERING INTERVAL. The cursor will blink to the left of the word INTERVAL [See Figure 7]. FIGURE 13: Manual Watering Station 3 for Five Minutes WTM230158 57114-14 rF_Eng. qxd 12/10/2002 1:50 PM Page 2 Each valve has two wires. The common wires for all the valves can be connected together to one common wire going to the timer. The other valve wire is to be connected to the specific station wire that will control that valve [See Figure 17]. All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, and/or vinyl tape. For additional protection to waterproof connections, a WaterMaster® grease cap can be used. To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should be connected to each station. Do not use solenoids that exceed these values. Help Before returning this timer to the store, contact Orbit® Technical Service at: 1-800-488-6156.
