Instructions
Congratulations! You are now the owner of a Melnor
AquaTimer Model 3015, one of the most versatile and
easiest to set water timers ever built.
Installing the Battery
Remove screws and lift off the battery cover. You may need
to use the screwdriver to gently pry off the battery cover.
Insert one 9V battery and replace battery cover and screws.
Make note of the positive and negative contacts.
Attaching the Timer to the Faucet
NOTE: Your AquaTimer can be programmed on or off the
faucet. It may be easier to program the timer first and then
attach it.
Simply attach the top coupling nut to the faucet by
twisting the nut clockwise. The nut should be snug. Do
not overtighten. Once the AquaTimer is attached, turn
on the faucet and leave it on while the timer is attached.
Remember to turn off the water when you need to remove
the AquaTimer.
Attach a garden hose to the outlet end of the timer and
then set up a sprinkler as you normally would.
Setting the timer
1. Use left arrow to decrease and right arrow to increase
numbers (t u) to set “Current Time” to nearest hour at that
time, noting AM and PM.
2. Repeat above instructions to set “Start Time” to
desired time of day to begin watering.
3. Use left and right (t u) arrow buttons to set “How
Often” (watering frequency) to select an hour or day
increment. (8 hours = 3 times per day, 2 days = every
other day)
4. Use left and right (t u) arrow buttons to set “How
Long” (watering duration) to select a minute or hour
increment.
5. Activate the watering program by pressing the Program
On/Off button; a horizontal bar will be displayed to signify
the program is on. Press the Program On/Off button again
to disable the program.
NOTE: To avoid accidentally changing the current program,
the arrow buttons will be “locked out” or inaccessible if
“Program On” is selected.
To create a new program, press Program On/Off button
if necessary to disable the current program. Press (t u)
arrow buttons to desired settings and press Program On/
Off button again to select the newly created program.
To avoid watering during the current program, press the
Program On/Off button to disable the program and press
again to enable the program when desired.
Watering Manually
Press the Manual On/Off button to water manually. Press
the button again to stop watering; otherwise the timer will
water for 30 minutes and automatically shut off.
Low Battery
A fresh battery should last one watering season. When the
battery is weak, the low battery indicator bar will show.
If this occurs during a watering program, the unit will
automatically shut off and discontinue running the program.
The valve will not reopen until a fresh battery is installed.
After inserting
a new battery, the timer must be re-programmed to resume
watering.
LCD Sleep Mode
To prolong battery life, the LCD will “sleep” after
approximately 4 minutes of button inactivity. “Wake” the
unit by pressing either the Program On/Off or the Manual
On/Off buttons.
