Welcome to Rain Bird

Controller.
Controller Features
Rain Bird’s Simple-to-Program (STP) controllers
are indoor controllers that have 4, 6 or 9 zone
capability. Custom irrigation schedules are entered
for each zone to match specific irrigation needs.
Simple to use “At-a-Glance” programming displays
all of the irrigation schedule information for each
specific zone at the same time on the controller.
Key features of the STP Plus Controller:
Independent zone control gives the
flexibility to create individual, specific
watering schedules for each zone.
The STP Plus controller provides multiple
start times per day (with user selectable
offsets) on an individual zone basis.
The Adjust Water feature allows the increase
or decrease of irrigation run times for all
zones quickly.
In the event of a prolonged rain, the irrigation
schedule can be delayed up to 72 hours
using the controller’s Rain Delay feature.
The Water All and Water Zone buttons
manually water all zones or a specific zone
without impacting any zone’s previously
set schedule.
To help manage water restrictions, the
controller can be set up to only water on
specific days of the week or “odd or even” days.
The irrigation schedule is saved in the
controller’s non-volatile memory in case
there is a power outage. Date and time are
stored with an internal lithium battery for
up to seven days.
Extra 24 volt terminals are available on
the terminal strip to allow attachment of a
Wireless Rain Sensor (not included) or other
powered accessories.
