INSTALLATION AND QUICK START

• 1. Attach manifold to an outdoor hose faucet.
• 2. Secure manifold to wall using the mounting hardware and instructions provided.
• 3. Attach up to 4 valves to the manifold outlets (the valves are electronically operated and must be attached to the timer for proper operation). Open fully each of the shut-offs with a valve attached.
• 4. Connect the wire from each valve to one of the numbered ports on the back of the timer. The numbers 1 through 4 are the “STATIONS” used while programming your timer.
• 5. Install two AA alkaline batteries into the battery tray (battery tray may be removed by pulling out to the left).

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the valves are attached to the timer before installing batteries. Once the batteries are installed the timer will immediately begin a start-up sequence. A countdown from 150 down to 0 will begin on the display and will take a few minutes. Your timer can be programmed during the countdown, but the valves cannot be turned on until it is completed.

• 6. Create your timer program.
• 7. Slide timer onto a valve mounting bracket.
• 8. Turn on hose faucet.

MOUNTING THE MANIFOLD TO THE WALL

• 1. Attach support rod to manifold by inserting it into the two mounting holes on the back of the manifold.
• 2. Mark where support rod touches the wall.
• 3. Drill a pilot hole using a 1/4 in. drill bit.
• 4. Attach the support rod using the screw provided.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

• 1. Remove the tray on the side of the timer by sliding it out.
• 2. Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and replace the tray. Low battery icon will appear when batteries need replacing. Replace batteries within 30 seconds or timer programming will be lost.

NOTE: Firmly replace the battery tray to ensure water resistance and increase battery life. You will know the battery tray is fully inserted if it locks in place and does not pull out easily. Used up or dead batteries must be removed from the timer and disposed of properly. Batteries should be removed from the timer at the end of the watering season and replaced with new ones at the beginning of the next watering season.

• Start time is set to desired time including AM and PM.

• Start times begin after previous watering cycle has run through all stations and set durations.

• Rain Delay is on (DELAY appears on left side of screen if on).

TIMER DOES NOT WATER. CHECK IF:

• Shut-off on the valve outlets are open.

• Timer is set to AUTO.
