Installation

  1. Hold the controller with the battery compartment facing
    you (Figure 1).
  2. Unscrew the battery cover and insert two AA alkaline
    batteries. Replace the cover and fasten the screws.
    Ensure that the battery compartment stays dry while
    installing the batteries.
  3. Before attaching the timer onto the outdoor faucet,
    manually check the timer operation by turning the
    “Run Time” knob to the “ON” position. The indicator
    light will flash once in “green”. This indicates that the
    batteries have been installed correctly and the timer is
    ready for use. If the battery power is low, the indicator
    will continuously flash in “red” until the power runs out.
  4. Proceed with programming the timer prior to connecting
    to the tap (see “Set Watering Run Time” and “Set Watering Frequency”).
  5. Once the timer has been programmed, hold the unit
    steady and hand-tighten the collar onto the faucet/tap
    until it is secured. Be sure all connections are secure
    before turning on the water. Do not use a wrench or
    pliers, and avoid over-tightening. Turn on the faucet/tap
    and the timer is ready to use.

 

Set Watering Frequency

Turn the knob to the desired frequency. It will begin after the frequency has been set for 2 seconds. When the knob is turned to the new setting for 2 seconds, the frequency resets to the new one. There are 11 frequency options:

  • By hour(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, or 72 hours
  • By week: Weekly (1-start per week)
    *Frequency setting must be longer than duration setting.

 

Set Watering Run Time

Turn the knob to the desired run time. Watering will be controlled by the frequency and run time settings, then it will close automatically. The run time dial has 10 options:

  • OFF: the valve will always be close when the knob is in this setting.
  • ON: the valve will always be open when the knob is in this setting.
  • By min(s): 1, 3, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes
  • Manual watering: To manually open the valve, turn the knob to “ON”. Water will continuously flow until the knob is turned to “OFF” (always closed) or other desired setting.


Start Time Delay Function

You can easily delay the start time of the current watering program by pushing the “Delay Start” button. After the watering program is set, push the “Delay Start” button until the indicator is “red”. Once the red indicator appears, push the button once for each hour you want to delay the start, up to 12 hours max. Every time the button is pushed, the indicator will flash in “green” and delay the start by one hour. For example, if you want to delay the program for 5 hours, push the button 5 times (the indicator will flash in green 5 times as well). Once the red indicator is off, the start time setting is complete.

  • Be sure to complete the programming process within ONE minute.
  • Every time the “Delay Start” button is pushed and the indicator turns red, the start time program has been reset.
