• To terminate the rain delay operation at any time,

repeat steps 1–3 to display OFF.

When the control dial is turned to the Off

position,

OFF will be displayed and will flash for three seconds.
The three-second delay allows the control dial to be

initiating the Off command. When OFF stops flashing,
any watering operation currently in progress will be
turned off and programmed automatic operation will be
prevented.

For extended shutdown of the sprinkler system, leave the
