Installation Manual / User's Manual Sprinkler Timers by Orbit® Set the Time of Day and Date If this is the first time the 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]. FIGURE 7: LCD Display with Watering Interval FIGURE 2: Programming Keys Press and hold the + or - keys to select the number of days between watering. Example: If you want to water once every 10 days, set the interval at 10. Note: If an interval of "3" is entered today, the Timer will water for the first time today, and then again every "3" days. [. . . ] This will activate only those stations with assigned watering durations in the B program only. To initiate this semi-automatic watering, press ENTER. FIGURE 11: Manual Watering in Either the A or B Program Only Program­A This program lets you schedule selected stations to water on specific days of the week or to water every 2nd day. Program A repeats itself continuously in successive weeks. FIGURE 5: Station Duration for Program A Program­B Provides two options: One for odd or even day watering or for intervals ranging from everyday to every 28th day. This feature is designed to meet the growing needs and restrictions imposed by local governments and to conserve water. The Timer automatically calculates odd and even days (by date) for each month and makes adjustments for leap years to provide true odd and even watering through the year 2100. Start-Time Stacking The Timer has the intelligence to "stack" start times that overlap. If you enter two or more start times that overlap (in the same or in different programs), the Timer will not activate two stations at the same time. Instead, the Timer activates the first station and then activates the next station(s) in sequence after the first station finishes its preset watering duration. This prevents the Timer from violating an odd or even day watering schedule. You can set the watering duration from 1 to 99 minutes. Press and hold the + key to advance the number of minutes, or use the - key to go in reverse, then press ENTER. When the minutes are set, "A" or "B" will appear over station 1 and the cursor will advance to station 2 and begin blinking. Simply repeat these steps to set watering durations for all zones on this program To skip a station, press the NEXT key. To erase previously programmed watering durations, press the CLEAR key. Assigning Watering Days for Program A Turn the rotary dial to DAY OF WEEK in program A. The display will show an "A" and the cursor will blink under the days of week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. [See Figure 6]. Using Manual Operation Turn the rotary dial to AUTO. The manual operation mode allows you to set durations in any of the stations from 1 to 99 minutes. The display will show a blinking cursor on station 1 along with - - MINS [See Figure 12]. FIGURE 12: LCD Display with Manual Operation Manual and Semi-Automatic Modes The Timer gives you a number of manual and semi-automatic modes for flexibility in watering. You can override the Timer's automatic programming in a variety of ways. FIGURE 6: LCD Display with Watering Days To set the number of minutes for watering duration, press and Press ENTER to activate watering on Monday. An arrow appears under M and the cursor will advance to Tuesday ("T"), press ENTER to activate watering on this day. To delete a previously entered day, press CLEAR If you want to water every second day, press the NEXT key to advance the cursor to "2nd", then press ENTER. Note: If you choose to water every 2nd day, you cannot set specific days of the week for watering section 2 Getting Started Programming the Timer can be accomplished in just a few basic steps.
