Installation and Programming Guide

“Valve Run Time” Settings - These settings control how long each valve will
water. The valve numbers on the Multi-Function Dial corresponds to the numbers on the
controller’s terminal module. The valves run sequentially one at a time. Each valve can be
set to run from 1 minute to 5.9 hours.
“Start Times” Settings - Up to three different start times (time of day) can be
selected for each program. Multiple start times are especially useful for newly seeded
lawns.
Note: If a running program overlaps to the next day, the timer will finish the current
program before continuing to the next day schedules. Programs postponed to run after
midnight will be ignored.
“Schedule” Day Settings - This setting designates the watering interval for your
program. You can choose to water at any particular day of the week (for example,
watering every monday and thursday), or use the pre-programmed Skip Days option (e.g.
water every 4 days, water every 3 days, etc.).
“Today” Settings - This setting is used to designate what day Today is. Scroll
through either MO–SU option or numerical option using the
+/- buttons, depending on
your Schedule setting.
The Rain Dial control module can be easily removed for complete programming or service
in a more convenient location. The module’s battery power will keep the program stored
until the module is re-electrified.
Step 1 - To remove the module, swing open
the control module by flexing the
release tab to the right.
Step 2 - Grasp the ribbon cable assembly
closest to the connector and pull it
out from the socket. See Figure 6.
Step 3 - Carefully unsnap the module from
the two hinge post.
Step 4 - After programming or servicing,
reinstall the control module by
reversing the steps above.
