mode key.
n
With the rotary dial set to
AUTO
,
press the
RAIN DELAy
key once then press
ENTER
. The
timer will force a 24-hour interruption of all
scheduled watering. After 24 hours, the timer will
automatically return to its initial watering schedule.
n
To increase the rain delay to 48 or 72 hours simply
press the
RAIN DELAy
key again until the desired
delay time is displayed, then press
ENTER
.
n
To cancel the rain delay mode, press
CLEAR
[See Figure 14].
FIGURE 14: LCD Display with Rain Delay
note:
While in rain delay mode, the timer will display
the remaining hours (counting down) to the end of the
accepted delay alternating with the current time and date.
No other key besides
CLEAR
is accepted while the timer
is in the rain delay mode.
Complete System Shut Down
To shut the system down, turn the rotary dial to the
OFF
position. The timer remains programmed but will
not water.
Installation of Indoor
Mount Timer
Install the controller in 4 easy steps
1.
Choosing a timer location
2.
Mounting the timer
3.
Connecting the transformer
4.
Connecting valve wires to timer
1. Choosing a Timer Location
n
Select a location near a standard electrical outlet.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by an
ON/OFF
switch.
n
The timer should not be exposed to the weather or
operate at temperatures below 14 degrees or above
113 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 45 degrees Celsius).
Avoid direct sunlight. For use under “normal
pollution conditions.”
n
Installation works best in a garage or protected
area. The timer should not be mounted outdoors.
2. Mounting the Timer
n
Screw a No. 8 screw at eye level leaving the screw
head extended out from the wall about 1/8 inch.
Use expanding anchors in plaster or masonry if
necessary.
n
Slip the keyhole slot in the back of the timer over
the extended screw.
n
Screw a No. 8 screw through each of the two holes at
the bottom of the box into the wall
[See Figure 15].
FIGURE 15: Mounting of
an Indoor Timer
(the two mounting
holes are in the battery
compartment)
3. Connecting the Transformer
n
With the wiring terminal shroud off, find the two
terminal holes labeled
24-VAC.
Make sure the
transformer is not plugged in. Insert one of the
two power leads from the transformer into each
terminal. It doesn’t matter which lead goes into
which terminal. This power unit is intended to be
correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount
position.
n
It may be necessary to open the terminal to allow
for wire insertion or removal. To do this, turn the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver until wire is
secure
[See Figure 16].
n
Plug in the transformer
Warning:
Do not link two or more controllers together
with one transformer.
n
Slide the shroud back on.
FIGURE 16:
Connecting Transformer
PreCautions:
• This controller is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure they do
not play with the controller.
Installing Valves, Pump
Start Relays & Master
Valves
1. Wiring the Electric valves
n
If the distance between the controller and valves is
under 700 feet (210 m), use WaterMaster
®
sprinkler
wire or 20 gauge (AWG) plastic jacketed thermostat
wire to connect the controller to the valves. If the
distance is over 700 feet (210 m), use 16 gauge
(AWG) wire. Terminals accept up to 14 gauge wire.
The wire can be buried in the ground; however, for
more protection wires should be pulled through
conduit and buried underground. Be careful to avoid
burying the wires in locations where they could be
damaged by digging or trenching in the future.
n
Each valve has two wires. One wire is to be
connected as the common. The common wires for
all the valves can be connected together to one
common wire going to the timer. The other valve
wire is to be connected to the specific station wire
that will control that valve
[See Figure 17].
FIGURE 17: Connecting Timer Wires to valves
n
All wires should be joined together using wire nuts,
solder, and/or vinyl tape. For additional protection to
waterproof connections, a WaterMaster
®
grease cap
can be used.
n
To avoid electrical hazards, only one valve should be
connected to each station.
n
The rated output is 24 volts AC at less than 0.240
Amps. Do not use solenoids that exceed these
values.
2. Connecting valve Wires to the Timer
n
Remove the terminal compartment cover.
n
Strip 1/4” (6 mm) of the plastic insulation off the end
of each wire.
n
Determine which valve you want to connect to
which station. Connect each valve wire to its station
terminal (labeled 1-6) by inserting the bare wire
fully into the terminal.
n
It may be necessary to open the terminal to allow
for wire insertion or removal. To do this, turn the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver until wire is
secure
[See Figure 18].
n
Connect the common wire to the terminal labeled
COM
[See Figure 18].
FIGURE 18: Connecting valve Wires
note:
Only one wire can be installed into each terminal.
If more than two common wires are used in your system,
splice several together so only one wire runs into the COM
terminal. Protect the splice connection with a wire nut.
