![]() To avoid electrical hazards and damage to the timer, only one valve should be connected to each station. The common wires for all the valves can be connected together to one common wire going to the controller. The other valve wire is to be connected to the specific station wire that will control that valve. One wire (it doesn’t matter which one) is to be connected as the common. Strip 12 mm of plastic insulation off the end of each individual wire. In wet environments like a valve box it is recommended to use Orbit Grease Caps or Speed Seals to prevent corrosion of the connection and for protection from water infiltration. Important: All wires should be joined together using wire nuts, solder, and/or vinyl tape. ![]() ![]() ![]() If the distance is over 210 m, use 16 gauge (AWG) wire. If the distance between the sprinkler timer and valves is under 210 m, use Orbit® sprinkler wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed thermostat wire to connect the sprinkler timer to the valves. If more than one valve is connected to a station the timer will be permanently damaged. Note: The maximum loading for each station/pump is 250mA (one valve), the maximum loading for the timer is 500mA. Connect the remaining wire from each valve to a separate colored sprinkler wire.Connect one wire from each valve (it doesn’t matter which wire) to a single “Common” sprinkler wire (usually white).Strip 12 mm of the plastic insulation off the end of each wire for both the timer wires and the valve wires.8 screw through one of the two pre-formed holes located in lower corners of the cabinet. Slip the timer over protruding screw (using keyhole slot in back of timer).Use expanding anchors (included) in plaster or masonry, if necessary, for a secure hold. Leave the screw head protruding 3mm from wall. 8 screw into wall in the upper template location. Use the mounting template (included) to mark the mounting screw location on the wall.Locate the timer where there is easy access to sprinkler wire (from valves).Ensure operating temperatures are not below 0☌elsius or above 70° Celsius.Choose a location near an electrical outlet.When choosing a location for your timer, consider the following: This timer requires a minimum of 5 PSI to open/close the valve and a minimum flow of 2.7 GPM (gallons per minute) translating to 162 GPH (gallons per hour).Buttons Function ENTER To confirm a new setting MANUAL To water manually CLEAR To clear a setting PROGRAM To move between programs: A and B ARROW To advance to the next setting/watering station or move to other programs/ settings ARROW To go back to the previous setting/ watering station or move to other programs/settings RAIN DELAY To pause operation for 24-72 hours due to rain or other factors + To increase a numeric setting – To decrease a numeric settingĭial Position Function AUTO Set program is running automatically SET CLOCK Set clock time SET DATE Year, Month, and day START TIME Set time to begin watering RUN TIME Set watering duration for each station HOW OFTEN Set frequency of watering days OFF Turn all stations/functions off Section 2: Installation Just program to your plants needs and this durable weather-resistant timer will do the rest, keeping your plants healthy and happy.
