Programming

Your Melnor 3020 Electronic Aqua Timer™ offers two independently programmable cycles. They are each pro-

grammed in the same manner. However, you must always program Cycle 1 before Cycle 2.

Before you begin the program process, determine what you want to program. Reading through the program

steps may help you determine this. You also will need to know the current time.

Programming Cycle 1 is a very simple four-step process. If you make a mistake during programming, simply

press reset and begin again.

Step 1.Press the RESET button to begin.

Step 2.Set the start time by pressing the START

button. If you press it only once, the

timer will begin the first watering cycle

immediately. (15 seconds after you finish

the final programming step)

To delay the start time by one hour,

press the start button twice. Pressing

three times will delay the start time by

two hours. By repeatedly pressing the

start button, you can delay the start time

by up to 12 hours.

Remember, the amount of delay is one

less than the number of times you press

the START button.

Step 3.Set the watering duration with the DURATION button. Press the button once for every 15 minutes you want

to water, up to four hours. So, if you press the button three times, you will be watering for 45 minutes.

Step 4.The SKIP button allows you to skip watering days. Press the button once to water every day, twice for

every other day, and three times for every third day.

With the completion of Step 4, the timer is programmed. If you wish to program a second cycle, proceed

immediately to Cycle 2. Otherwise, make certain the timer is on the faucet securely, the hose and watering

attachments are in place and the faucet is open.
