Features
This unit is available in a 4 or 6 station conguration. Designed
for residential applications, this controller has four separate start
times and each can be programmed individually to suit your
watering needs.
These different areas may require individual watering programs
and often use different types of sprinklers.
Examples: Turf areas generally use pop-up sprinklers and require
less frequent but heavier watering. However, ower beds use
micro sprays and require more frequent watering. The valves
(stations) which water similar garden areas are often grouped
together and put into the same start/program as they need to be
watered on the same days.
These stations (valves) will water in sequential order from the
lowest number at the start time (or times) nominated and on the
days selected. Maximum watering duration for a station (valve) is
12 hours and 59 minutes.
This controller has a 7 day calendar with individual day selection,
even, odd + odd-31 and interval days from 1 to 15.
A key water saving feature is the installation of a rain sensor. This
controller has a rain sensor switch in the fascia so you can enable
or disable the rain sensor control function.

Introduction
The key elements when programming your controller are:
1. Grouping the stations. (valves)
Group together garden areas which have similiar watering
requirements. Examples are: Turf Areas, Flower Beds, Pergola/
Undercover Areas, or Vegetables. These different groups require
individual settings (programs).
2. Planning out your watering program.
Complete your individual watering planner, supplied at the back of
this book.
3. Setting the current time and correct day of the week.
4. Setting an automatic program.
Use the following 3 steps to set each group.
4.1 Set Start(s).
This sets the time of the day when the watering program will
commence.
4.2 Set Watering Days.
These are the nominated days when the automatic system will
be active.
4.3 Set Station Run Times.
This sets the watering duration required for each station (valve).
Programming Instructions
This controller has been designed with four separate starts
(programming schedules), to allow different garden areas to have their
own individual watering requirements.
A program is basically a method of grouping stations (valves) with
similar watering requirements to water on the same days. These
stations will water in sequential order from the lowest number at the
start time (or times) nominated and on the days selected. The stations
can have different durations.

Programming Instructions
A typical 6 station system is illustrated below. This guide will assist you
when completing your watering planner. In this example the lawn areas
are using pop-up sprinklers & require less frequent watering.
The vegetables are watered using drippers, with a longer run time &
the ower beds/pergola areas are watered with micro spray nozzles.
Each area is put into a separate program.

Programming Instructions
This controller can also manually run a selected start once, or an
individual station can be set to run once from 1 minute up to 12
hours and 59 minutes. During winter the automatic start times can
be suspended to prevent watering while it is raining. A test facility for
checking the valves and sprinklers is also provided.
