ENGLISH
No-Watering Days and Times
It’s easy to prevent watering on one or more days of the week
or during specific periods of the day. This comes in handy if
watering restrictions are imposed in your area.
Docking Port
This timer has been designed for convenience and “armchair”
programming. The timer’s docking port is mounted on a wall
and all wires are connected to it. The main timer unit can be
easily and quickly slid on and off the docking port, allowing
you to take the timer virtually anywhere to create or change
watering programs.
Remote Control Capabilities (Not included on all models)
This timer can be controlled by the included remote control
device via a radio frequency (RF) receiver and antennae, both
of which are built into the timer. The remote control device
allows you to turn stations on and off on the spot and to
perform programming tasks from anywhere within range. The
433 megahertz remote frequency is approved for use in the
United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, and permits an
effective line-of-sight range of 300 feet (reduced to 200 feet
with obstructions).
Programming Information Stored Safely
in Non-Volatile Memory
All programming information for Program A and Program
B is stored indefinitely in the timer’s non-volatile memory
(EEPROM) and internal memory. 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)
