The Timer has two programs you can setup to control a variety of
watering plans. Depending on your needs, you can use either or
both programs.
Enter the Watering Schedule in Any Order
You have the option of entering your watering schedule in whatever
order you like. This feature makes it very easy to review and
change your watering schedule. Your settings can be changed at
any time—while you’re setting up the initial schedule, or after years
of operation.
Start times for Program A or b
Note: A start time is the time of day that the program begins
watering the first station, and all other stations will then follow
in sequence. There are not separate start times for each station.
Start times do not correspond to specific stations. If you enter
more than one start time, all stations programmed to operate will
water again (in sequence).
• The way you set the start time is the same for both programs.
Turn the rotary dial to the Start times position in the program
that you want to set up. The display will show an A or B
depending on which program you have selected.
The display will show – – :– –, and a blinking cursor in S
tart
1
location [See Figure 5].
• Set the time you want to begin watering for start time 1 using
the + or – keys, then press the
enter
key. The display will
advance to S
tart
2. For additional start times, simply repeat
this procedure by using the + and – keys to enter the time,
then press
enter
.
Remember, each start time will activate all stations that are
programmed to operate. There are not separate start times for
each station. Start times do not correspond to specific stations.

you have selected with an “A” or “B” and the - - MINS and the
cursor blinking at
station “1” [See Figure 6].
