SETTING WATERING PROGRAMS
The Timer has dual outlets for two independent zones and up to six daily
watering programs. Each line has three programs per day.
Programs 1,3,5 run on line A (left outlet); programs 2,4,6 run on line B
(right outlet).
The timer works on a 24 hour clock
(i.e. 2 pm = 14:00)
therefore prior to
setting the programs, make sure your scheduling falls within a 24 hour
window.
Program 1 must corresponds to your earliest watering cycle of the day
because all following programs move forward in time from program 1.
(i.e. if program 1 is set up to start at 16:00 = 4 pm, there are 8 hours left in
which the remaining programs can be set).

Why can’t unit water from both lines at the same time?
Having both lines operating simultaneously water flow would be too low and
the pressure not sufficient for proper operation of the hose end applications.
Can the programs be scheduled to operate on any specific week
day?
No, all programs must be set within a 24 hour window starting from midnight
= 00:00.
In the weekly page, what do the 1-7 blocks represent?
Day 1 = day in which timer is programmed.
Following numbers identify the remaining days of the week (see page 13 for
example).
Can the two lines have different weekly programs?
No; weekly programming effects both lines.
Can I use any 9V battery?
No, Akaline only. Do not use lithium or rechargeable batteries.
Can I change the 15 minute of the manual mode?
No, digital setting is preset to avoid possible flooding when the unit is not
supervised during the manual mode.
Altering the manual function can be executed by hand selection only.
What happens if the unit is not removed during freezing
temperature?
The ABS plastic components will crack causing the unit to be inoperable.
