mark the four screw locations on the wall.
• If drywall anchors are needed, drill a 1/4"
hole in the wall at each marked location.
• Insert a drywall anchor in each hole so that
it is flush with the wall surface.
• Position the docking station over the anchors.
• Insert and tighten one #8 X 11⁄4" screw in
each of the four holes. Do not overtighten screws.

Wiring the Docking Station
These instructions assume your irrigation system is properly installed and
the valve solenoid wires are available at the timer mounting location.
CAUTION: Do not connect more than one wire to each
terminal. Damage to the timer will occur.
Common Wire Connections
• Insert the common wire from the solenoids to either "COMMON"
terminal (white) at the bottom of the docking station.
Zone Wire Connections
• Insert one control wire from a specific solenoid (zone 1) to
a corresponding "ZONES" terminal (blue 1) at the bottom
of the docking station. Repeat for each zone solenoid.
• Check wires to ensure they
are fully seated and secure.
• Plug A/C Power Suppy connector to
the "24 VAC POWER" terminal (red),
then plug the Power Supply into a
110 volt outlet.
Installation: Wiring
Docking the Timer
• Install AA batteries in the back of the timer.
• Place the back of the timer against the docking station
• Slide the timer downward until it is firmly seated at the
bottom of the docking station.
• Confirm UNDOCKED indicator is turned off.
The timer is ready for programming and operation.

FAQ
29
1. Can I use the WeatherSmart™and WeatherSmartPRO™for both drip and sprinkler systems?
Yes. Independent durations and multiple watering cycles allow you to program for drip and sprinkler
irrigation systems.
2. Can I use my existing wires to my valves?
Yes. The timer is compatible with commonly used landscape irrigation systems.
3. Can I install the timer outdoors?
Yes … the timer must be installed in a weather resistant enclosure.
4. How many valves can be controlled by one zone output terminal?
Only one valve can be controlled per zone output terminal. Damage to the timer may occur if more
than one valve is connected to a zone terminal.
5. What if my zip code is new or not recognized by the timer?
Use a nearby neighboring zip code.
6. How do I know what duration to program into the timer?
Set your watering durations for the hottest part of the year. If replacing a standard timer, use the
durations from the watering program of your previous timer. Consult a landscape professional for
detailed advice on your specific landscape needs.
7. Why do I need more than one cycle or start time per day?
If your landscape soil is not easily penetrated by moisture or the landscape is sloped it can be
beneficial to run multiple short watering cycles to minimize run-off and to allow time for water
to be absorbed by the soil.
8. Will my timer stop watering when it rains?
Yes. The WeatherSmartPRO™with weather station will automatically shutdown when it rains.
The WeatherSmart™timer will not stop watering unless an optional rain switch is installed.
The timer accepts most major brands of rain switches (see page 26).
9. What if it's raining and I don't have a rain switch?
The SKIP function can be used to interrupt all programmed watering schedules for up to 99 hours.
When the SKIP function ends, the timer will return to the previously set operating mode (ON or OFF).
10. Why does my landscape appear to be dry?
Your watering duration may need to be adjusted if dryness is frequently observed. If necessary,
the timer is equipped with a Water Now feature for manual watering and to test drip and sprinkler
system performance.
11. Do the valves operate when the timer is undocked?
No. The timer cannot operate valves when it is undocked. Watering will not occur.

The following information is needed for each zone used:
❶Number of watering CYCLES per day (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).
❷DURATION in minutes (AM & PM).
❸Cycle START TIMES (S1, S2, S3, S4).
CYCLES: (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4):
• 0 indicates no watering for the day.
• 1, 2, 3, or 4 indicates number of watering cycles per day.
• The number of cycles will determine the number of start times.
ODD / EVEN:
• ODD will water on 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc. dates of month.
