Hold the DURATION key until it
scrolls to 0:15 minutes or press the
key 15 times.
Step 3
Press WATER DAYS key once.
After 10 seconds, the timer LCD will
now read ‘AUTO’, indicating the second

Manual Operation.
Anytime after installing batteries, the valve
can be opened or closed using the manual
OPEN/CLOSE key.
Press the MANUAL OPEN/CLOSE key to start
watering immediately. Press the same key again
to stop.
Important:
If left in manual mode, the valve will
stay open for a period between 60 and 75 minutes
and then will automatically close. This manual
open time limit is designed as a safeguard that’s
intended to prevent flooding if the timer valve is
accidentally opened. When the valve closes, it
may be manually opened again, if desired.
Care and Maintenance.
The following precautions should be taken:
1.
Always keep top cover closed when keyboard
is not in use.
2.
The timer may be used with water pressures
up to 100 psi.
3.
Do not leave timer on the faucet or store it
outside during freezing weather. Exposure to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C) may damage
the unit.
4.
Units must not be submerged in water or used
with hot water over 100°F (38° C).
5.
To ensure unit’s temperature remains below
100° F (38° C), do not expose it to direct
sunlight. We recommend the timer be used
only in shady areas.
Periods Not In Service.
1.
Look at the program record to reference time,
day and date entered.
2.
Programs may be reviewed by pressing the
PROGRAM REVIEW key.
3.
If no watering is intended for long periods
(i.e., during the winter season), simply
unscrew the unit from the faucet and press
the MANUAL OPEN key. In the spring, it is
recommended that the unit be reprogrammed
and new batteries inserted.
This timer is maintenance free. Replace weak
batteries immediately when the timer starts
flashing on 5700 (and LOBAT appears in the
display panel on model 5750). If the timer
should happen to fail despite the care taken in
manufacturing and testing, repair should be
performed by an authorized customer service
agent for L.R. Nelson Corp. (1-800-489-4968)

Detección de pilas
El regulador dejaráde
descargadas
funcionar cuando el voltaje
de las pilas esté bajo.
Para poner y cambiar las pilas
■
Use solamente pilas
alcalinas, tamaño C. No
use pilas recargables.
■
Antes de cambiar las
pilas, cierre el suministro de agua del
regulador en el grifo afuera de la casa, y luego
quítelo del grifo.
■
Abra el compartimiento de pilas y ponga las
pilas de acuerdo con las marcas que hay en
el compartimiento.
Para cambiar las pilas:
Cuando se hayan
agotado las pilas de cualquiera de los dos
modelos, destellará el DEL del 5700 y lo indicará
el VCL del 5750. En este momento el regulador
cerrará la válvula del agua y dejará de seguir las
precisas instrucciones de riego de Nelson.
Retraso automático:
Después de haber programado el primer ciclo de
riego, el regulador se retrasará por 10 segundos.
La visualización del regulador se despejará y
mostrará “Cycle 2”, (5750) indicando que se
aceptó el primer programa y que ahora se puede
programar el segundo ciclo. El retraso
automático se repetirá después de que haya
programado el segundo ciclo.
Instalación
Ya que el regulador está
programado, es hora de
instalar la unidad en el
grifo.
1.
Sujetando la unidad de modo estable, atornille
el collar en el grifo hasta que esté apretado al
pulso. NO use llaves ni tenazas.
2.
Ponga una manguera de jardín en la conexión,
debajo de la unidad. Cerciórese de que en el
adaptador de la manguera haya una arandela
en buenas condiciones.
3.
Cerciórese de que la válvula del regulador esté
cerrada. Abra el agua del grifo. El regulador
regará automáticamente.
1. RESET (Reposición)
Mantenga oprimidas, al mismo
tiempo, las teclas DELAY y
WATER DAYS durante cuatro
segundos y luego, suéltelas.
El visualizador del modelo 5750 mostrará
“PRGRM” y en el modelo 5700 se verá un
destello, indicando que la unidad
está
reajustada.
2. DELAY
Oprima la tecla DELAY para
retrasar el tiempo de inicio por
1 hora. Presionando la tecla cada
vez, podrá retrasar el inicio, de 1 a 20 horas, a
partir de ese momento. Nota: esta unidad no
contiene reloj. El tiempo de inicio de riego se
establece desde el momento actual.
Si excede el límite de 20 horas, el tiempo de
retraso volverá a ser de 1 hora, y el regulador
aceptará que
seoprima la
tecla más veces.
3. DURATION
Oprima DURATION para establecer el
tiempo de riego. En el modelo 5700,
cada vez que oprima esa tecla,
aumentará la duración 15 minutos, por hasta
4 horas. Cuando haga lo mismo en el modelo
5750, aumentará la duración 1 minuto, por hasta
30 minutos; y 15 minutos, desde los 30 minutos,
por hasta 4 horas.
Nota: tiene que oprimir esta tecla por lo menos
una vez para que haya un programa válido; de
no ser así, el regulador destellará continuamente
o mostrará “ERR”.
Si excede el límite de 4 horas, el tiempo de
retraso volverá a ser de 15 minutos (5700) o de
1 minuto (5750), y el regulador aceptará que se
oprima la
tecla más
veces.
4. WATER DAYS
Si no oprime la tecla WATER
DAYS, el programa regará
solamente el día de hoy. Si
oprime WATER DAYS una vez, el programa
se llevará a cabo todos los días; si lo oprime
dos veces, día por medio; y si lo oprime tres
veces, cada tres días. El horario se repetirá
automáticamente hasta que usted cierre el
grifo o se agoten las pilas.
Si se oprime la tecla WATER DAYS más de
tres veces, el regulador volverá a dar agua
hoy solamente. Las veces que oprima
adicionalmente, se programarán del modo
antes explicado.
5. “CYCLE 2” (“Ciclo 2”)
y PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE
(Aceptación del programa)
Espere 10 segundos después del último pulsado
de tecla. En el modelo 5700, destellará una luz
indicando que se aceptó el programa. En el
modelo 5750, la visualización del regulador
cambiará a “CYCLE 2”. Si no precisa un ciclo
de riego adicional, espere 10 segundos y la
visualización cambiará a “AUTO”.
Para programar el ciclo dos, espere 10 segundos
después del último pulsado de tecla en el ciclo
uno. La visualización del regulador mostrará
“CYCLE 2”. Siga programando el segundo ciclo
como programó el primero.
Espere 10 segundos para que la unidad acepte
los datos del programa del ciclo dos. En cuanto
sean aceptados, verá la visualización cambiar
a “AUTO”.
Si no programa el ciclo dos antes de que la
visualización “AUTO” aparezca (luego de un
ciclo de programación), y decide que desearía
hacerlo, debe reposicionar el regulador y
comenzar de nuevo.
La visualización del regulador mostrará “ERR”
si hubo algún error en la programación, tal como
disponer ciclos de riego superpuestos o si se
registraron instrucciones de duración para
cualquiera de los dos ciclos.
