■
Before every battery change, turn off the timer’s
water supply at your outdoor faucet and then
remove it from the faucet.
■

in accordance with the markings in the
compartment.
Replacing batteries:
When batteries in either model are exhausted, the
5700 LED will flash, the 5750 LCD will show it.
Timer will close the water valve and will no longer
follow watering instructions.
Automatic Delay:
After you have completed programming your
first watering cycle, the timer will delay for a
period of 10 seconds. The timer display will
clear and show ‘Cycle 2’, (5750 only) indicating
that your first program has been accepted, and
the second cycle may now be programmed. The
automatic delay will occur again after you have
programmed cycle two.
Installation.
Now that your timer is
programmed, it is time
to install the unit to
your faucet.
1. Holding the unit steady, screw the collar onto
the faucet until it is finger tight. DO NOT use
a wrench or pliers.
2. Attach a garden hose to the connection on
the bottom of the unit. Makes sure there is
a good washer in the hose fitting.
3. Make sure timer valve is closed. Turn on
the water at the faucet. Your timer will now
water automatically.
1. Reset.
Press DELAY and WATER DAYS
keys at same time and hold
4 seconds. Release the keys,
and view ‘PRGM’ on 5750 display
or a flash on the 5700 indicating unit is reset.
2. Delay.
Press DELAY key to delay start
time. Each press delays start time
1 hour from current time, up to
20 hours from now. Note: This
unit does not contain a clock. Watering start time
is set from current time.
If you exceed the 20 hours, the delay will
‘rollover’ to one hour and the timer will accept
more key
presses.
3. Duration.
Press DURATION key to set
watering time. On the 5700,
each press will increase duration
15 minutes, up to 4 hours. On
the 5750, each press will increase watering
duration 1 minute up to 30 minutes and
15-minute increments from 30 minutes
to 4 hours.
Note: You must press this key at least once
to have a valid program, otherwise the timer
will flash continuously or display ‘ERR’.
If you exceed the 4 hour maximum, the
time will ‘rollover’ to 15 minutes (5700),
or 1 minute (5750), and timer will continue
to accept more
key presses.
4. Water Days.
If you do not press the WATER
DAYS key, the program entered
will water today only. If you press
WATER DAYS once, program will execute every
day, if you press twice every other day, and if you
press three times every third day. Schedule will
be repeated automatically until you turn off the
faucet or until batteries are exhausted.
Pressing the WATER DAYS key more than three
times will cause timer to ‘rollover’ to water today
only. Additional presses will program as
explained above.
5. ‘Cycle 2’ and Program
Acceptance.
Wait 10 seconds after the last key stroke. On
5700 light will flash indicating program is
accepted. On 5750 timer display changes to
‘CYCLE 2’. If you do not need an additional
watering cycle, wait 10 seconds and display
will change to ‘AUTO’.
To program cycle two, wait 10 seconds after last
key stroke in cycle one. Timer display will show
‘CYCLE 2’. Continue programming second cycle
as you did the first.
Wait 10 seconds for the unit to accept cycle two
program data. Upon acceptance, you will see the
display change to ‘AUTO’.
If you do not program cycle two before the ‘AUTO’
display appears (after one programming cycle)
but decide you would like to, you must reset the
timer and start again.
The timer display will show ‘ERR’ if an error was
made in programming, like setting overlapping
water cycles, or if no duration instructions for
either of the two cycles was entered.
6. Program Review.
On the 5700, when the Program
Review key is pressed, the light
will flash the sequence of key
presses (separating each key’s
number of presses by a pause) On the 5750,
when the Program Review key is pressed, the
display will review the programs.
7. Record Your Program.
Write down the time, day and date of both
programs as well as your DELAY, DURATION and
WATER DAYS selections for future reference.

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.
