No-Watering Days and Times
It’s easy to prevent watering on one or more days of the week 
or during specific periods of the day. This comes in handy if 
watering restrictions are imposed in your area.
Docking Port
This timer has been designed for convenience and “armchair” 
programming. The timer’s docking port is mounted on a wall 
and all wires are connected to it. The main timer unit can be 
easily and quickly slid on and off the docking port, allowing 
you to take the timer virtually anywhere to create or change 
watering programs.
Remote Control Capabilities (Not included on all models)
This timer can be controlled by the included remote control 
device via a radio frequency (RF) receiver and antennae, both 
of which are built into the timer. The remote control device 
allows you to turn stations on and off on the spot and to 
perform programming tasks from anywhere within range. The 
4 megahertz remote frequency is approved for use in the 
United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, and permits an 
effective line-of-sight range of 00 feet (reduced to 00 feet 
with obstructions). 
Programming Information Stored Safely 
in Non-Volatile Memory
All programming information for Program A and Program 
B is stored indefinitely in the timer’s non-volatile memory 
(EEPROM) and internal memory. This high-end feature means 
your programming won’t be lost or erased if the power and 
batteries go out.
Easy-to-Read Back-Lit LCD Display
The timer’s back-lit blue LCD display screen is easy to read 
under any lighting conditions. 
Choice of Five Languages
You can easily set the LCD display to read in any of five 
languages: English, Spanish, French, German or Italian. 
Water Budgeting
This convenient feature provides a quick, easy way to increase 
or decrease the watering durations of all stations in both 
programs to match seasonal watering needs. You won’t have to 
adjust each station’s watering time individually. 
Rain Sensor (Optional)
An optional rain sensor can be purchased separately to prevent  
programmed watering for a period of time after rain falls 
(determined by the amount of rain and how quickly the 
sensors dry out). If your unit is RF capable then you can use a 
wireless sensor. Otherwise a hard-wired sensor can be used.
Commonly Used Controls
Digital Display with Text Messaging
A large LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) shows the time of day and 
indicates many of the programming settings. Interactive text 
messaging simplifies programming and current sprinkler timer 
status. (See Figure 1)
