Changing the Program
To make a change to the program, simply wake the timer by
pressing any button. Move to the sections you wish to change
and adjust as needed. Watering will resume at the “START WATER”
time.
Manual Watering
This timer provides two ways to water manually. If you would
like to water from the untimed secondary outlet, simply turn the
valve on the left side of the unit to the ON position.
If you wish to water manually from the timed outlet, use the UP
and DOWN arrows to move to Manual. Pressing the PLUS button,
adjust the time you wish to water. The timer will wait 5 seconds
and begin to water. Manual watering can be up to 240 minutes.
Rain Delay
In the event of predicted rainfall, you can temporarily suspend
automatic watering for up to 3 days. Simply move to “RAIN DELAY”
and use the PLUS button to select the desired delay. After the
delay period has passed the timer will return to the programmed
operation.
Automatic Rain Delay
This timer will work with AquaSentry, Melnor’s exclusive Automatic
Rain Delay. AquaSentry actually monitors the moisture in the soil
and delays watering if it is not needed. For more information, visit:
www.melnor.com/conservation/aqua-sentry.html.
Disabling the Program
If you would like to suspend automatic watering for an extended
period, simply change the “PROGRAM” line to “OFF.” When you are
ready to resume watering, switch “PROGRAM” to “ON.” Watering
will begin at the “START WATER” time.
Program Memory
This timer has memory. If the battery fails or is removed, even for
extended periods, the program will be retained. After installing
a fresh battery you simply need to set the “time.” The timer will
retain the existing program.
