When the control dial is turned to the OFF position, the
timer immediately shuts off any watering operation cur-
rently in progress. Leaving the control dial in the
OFF
position will prevent all automatic and manual watering
operations. The timer will continue to track the current
time and day of the week.
For extended shutdown of the
sprinkler system leave the control
dial in the
OFF position.
The word OFF will be displayed
for 8 minutes. The automatic sta-
tus display will then appear with
the “No Watering” symbol as
shown in this illustration.
Automatic operation is resumed by turning the control
dial to the
AUTO/ON position.
This feature enables all watering operations to be
delayed from 1 to 7 days. For example, rain is forecast in
your area for the next two days. Instead of turning the
timer off (and possibly forgetting to turn it back on), a
rain delay of 3 days can be easily entered. At the end of
3 days, the timer will resume automatic operation as
scheduled.
Turn the control dial to the
RAIN DELAY position. The
rain delay display will begin alternating with the auto-
matic status display.
To set the number of rain delay days, press the
+/ON
or –/OFF button until the desired number (1–7) is
flashing.
Return the control dial the control to the
AUTO/ON
position.
Note: The rain delay number will automatically
decrease as each day passes. When the number
reaches 0 (zero), automatic operation will resume at
the next scheduled start time.
To cancel the rain delay, turn the control dial
momentarily (3 seconds) to the
OFF position.
