1. Select a Location
When choosing a location for your timer, consider the
following:
• Choose location near a power source (if hard wiring) or
electrical outlet (applicable only to U.S. retail timers)
• Ensure operating temperatures are not below 32° or
above 158° Fahrenheit (below 0° Celsius or above 70°
Celsius)
• Place it away from direct sunlight if possible
• Ensure at least 9” of space to the left of the sprinkler
timer box for the door to swing open after installation
• Locate the timer where there is easy access to sprinkler
wire (from valves). If mounted in an outdoor location,
shut the compartment door to keep the timer safe
from weather damage. To lock: insert the key and turn
clockwise to the locked position
Note: Sprinkler timers are weather-resistant to UL-50 and ETL
®
Listings, but should not be placed in areas where continuous
water could cause damage.
2. Mount the Timer
• Use the mounting template (included) to mark the
mounting screw location on the wall. See figure 1
• Install a No. 8 screw (included) into wall in the upper
template location. Leave the screw head protruding 1/8”
(3mm) from wall. Use expanding anchors (included) in
plaster or masonry, if necessary, for a secure hold
• Slip the timer over protruding screw (using keyhole slot
in back of timer). See figure 2
• Drive a No. 8 screw through one of the two pre-formed
holes located in lower back cabinet. See figure 2
