This high-end feature means your programming won’t be lost or erased if the power and batteries go out. Easy-to-Read Back-Lit LCD Display The timer’s back-lit blue LCD display screen is easy to read under any lighting conditions. 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. Commonly Used Controls Digital Display with Text Messaging A large LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) shows the time of day and indicates many of the programming settings. Interactive text messaging simplifies programming and current sprinkler timer status. (See Figure 1) Programming Buttons These nine buttons are used for programming and other operations: A RF Sync (only on remote control model) Allows the timer to synchronize with a new remote or wire less sensor. b Rain Delay Push this button once while in AUTO to access the rain delay option. NOTE: Pressing this button will access the Language and No Watering Period options while in those respective dial positions. c Reset (pin hole) Resets the timer to its factory settings. d Increase e Decrease f Enter g Next h Clear i Manual Selection Dial This dial is used for programming, reviewing and operating the sprinkler timer. Rain Sensor Bypass Switch In Active position the controller will monitor the rain sensor, in Bypass position the controller will ignore the rain sensor. (This switch is for hard wired sensors only and does not effect wireless rain sensors - sensors sold separately). About This Manual We have added the following features to this manual to assist you: • BLUE TEXT relates to the buttons used for programming. • BLUE UNDERLINED TEXT relates to stop positions for the selection dial. • A glossary of the most common terms is included.

The display will show “LOW BATTERY” when it is time to replace the batteries. NOTE: Batteries alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling system. The transformer must be plugged in and have power to operate your system normally. Reset the Timer If this is the first time the sprinkler timer has been pro- grammed, you should press the small recessed button labeled RESET (located under the RAIN DELAY button). You will probably need a pen, pencil or similarly small object to push it. Do not press the RESET button again unless you want to completely remove all your programming, including time and date. If no programming occurs after the RESET button has been pressed and the dial is left in the AUTO position the timer will assume a default program mode. In default mode, the timer will automatically water each station for 10 minutes, beginning at 5 a.m. each day. Select the Preferred Language • Turn the select...
