SECTION ONE

Introduction

Thank you for selecting an Orbit®WaterMaster sprinkler timer. Orbit® designers

have combined the simplicity of mechanical switches with the accuracy of digital

electronics to give you a timer that is both easy to program and extremely

versatile. The Orbit®timer provides convenience and flexibility, letting you run

a fully automatic, semi-automatic, or a manual watering program for all your

watering needs.

Please read this manual completely before you begin to program and use the timer.

A few of the most notable design features include:

At-a-Glance Simplicity

Turning the rotary dial to one of ten settings allows you to review programming or

easily make changes.

Arm Chair Programmable

You may program the timer prior to installing it in its permanent location.

Fail-Safe Program

If the timer loses AC power, the existing program will not be lost. After the AC

power returns, the timer will recall the last program into memory and there will be

WTM230052 57194-24 rD 12/13/2002 11:28 AM Page 6

no need to re-program. If both the AC power is lost and the batteries are dead or

missing, the user will have to reprogram the timer

Water Budgeting Mode

This feature is ideal when adjusting to seasonal watering demands. Instead of

reprogramming your timer, adjusting watering duration, the "Water Budget Mode"

will enable easy adjustments. This function will allow adjustments to watering

duration by ten percent increments from 50% - 150%. During the spring when a

reduced watering requirement is needed just decrease the watering percentage and

as temperatures rise adjust the Water Budget upward. For example, a budget per-

centage set at 70% will alter a 10 minute preset watering duration to 7 minutes.

Using Water Budgeting Mode

NOTE: A budget set at 100% will water the full duration that is currently set on

timer.

• Turn the rotary dial to Budgeting. The display will show BUDGET with three

digits and %.

• Press and hold the + or - keys to select the percentage in increments of 10%.

(Example: For example, a budget percentage set at 70% will only water for 7

minutes if the watering duration is set for 10 minutes.)

• To activate the water budgeting, press Enter.

• Turn the rotary dial to any other position to finish programming.

• While watering the time displayed will be the water budget adjusted time.

• The water budget setting affects all stations regardless of program assignment.

ENGLISH

• To return to normal watering duration set the percentage to 100%.

Fuse

The 0.75 amp slow-blow fuse provides circuit protection. For replacement, use

WaterMaster 0.75 amp fuse or equivalent.

Features of the Timer

1. Digital Display

An extra large LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) shows the time of day and indicates

many of the programming settings. The display is completely interactive with all

other controls.

2. Programming Keys

The timer has seven push button keys for setup and program entry. Working in

conjunction with the rotary selector, the keys are used to set the time of day,

watering time, watering days, start times, and other functions.

3. Rotary Selector Dial

The heart of the timer is the rotary selector dial. This dial makes it easy to see

which function is currently selected and/or in which mode the timer is set to

operate.

4. Reset Button

The reset button clears all your programming but does not remove the factory

WTM230052 57194-24 rD 12/13/2002 11:28 AM Page 8

installed fail-safe program. To prevent an accidental reset, the button is recessed

into the panel and must be pressed with a small pointed object such as a pen or

pencil tip.

Notable Programming Features

Two Watering Programs

The timer gives you the option of using any or all of these independent programs,

each station can independently be set to either A or B or both A and B programs.

ENGLISH

Program A—Days

Program-A lets you schedule selected stations to water on specific days of the

week or to water every 2nd day. Program-A repeats itself continuously in succes-

sive weeks.

Program B—Interval, Odd, Even

Provides two options: One for odd or even day watering and another for an interval

ranging from every day to every 28th day. This feature is designed to meet the

growing needs and restrictions imposed by local governments and to conserve

water. The timer automatically calculates odd and even days (by date) for each

month and makes adjustments for leap years to provide true odd and even

watering. An interval of "1" will water every day, an interval of "2" will water every

other day, and so on.

Start-Time Stacking

The timer has the intelligence to "stack" start times that overlap. If you enter two or

more start times that overlap (in the same or in different programs), the timer will

not activate two stations at the same time. Instead, the timer activates the first

station and then activates the next station(s) in sequence after the first station

finishes its preset watering duration.

The timer will NOT stack to the next calendar day. This prevents the timer from

violating an odd or even day watering schedule.
