@sharon ODD=odd days of the month (1st, 3rd, etc.) EVEN=even days of the month (2nd, 4th, etc.) No idea why someone would want this, rather than setting a 2 day INT (Interval) but maybe there's a valid reason.

For Orbit part number 57894, "odd, even day" refers to a watering schedule option where watering occurs only on odd-numbered days (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.) or even-numbered days (2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.) of the month.

If, for example, on program A, Each station is set for 10 minutes, does each station happen one at a time, or all together? My gardener is telling me that he needs to set it at multiple start times for program A, because of water pressure issues, but won't multiple start times, just cause multiple cycles of the waterings of each station? (I don't live onsite, so can't check what is happening - but the water bill is extreme)

The Orbit 57894 irrigation system runs each station one at a time in sequence when set for 10 minutes on program A.

The Orbit 57894 allows programming of only 4 stations because it is designed to control up to four separate irrigation zones, each operated by its own valve connected to the timer.

To troubleshoot Orbit 57894 station number 4 that won't shut off, check the following:
1. Faulty valve – Inspect the valve for mechanical failure. 2. Particles of dirt or debris stuck in valve – Clean the valve to remove any obstructions. 3. Valve diaphragm faulty – Examine and replace the diaphragm if it's damaged.
These are common causes for a station staying on and not shutting off.

The sprinkler does not activate the valves. It is plugged into an outlet that is active. It worked last fall when I reactive the system but not now when I turn it on this spring.

Several possible causes could prevent the Orbit 57894 sprinkler from activating the valves after working last fall:
1. Loose or improperly connected wires: Check that the sprinkler wires from each valve are fully inserted into the terminals. Remove and reinsert the wires, and tighten the screws if applicable. Lightly tug the wires to ensure they are secure.
2. Faulty terminal: If the problem affects only one valve, move its wire to a different terminal and test it to see if it works.
3. Water supply off: Ensure that the water supply is turned on.
4. Master valve or pump issue: If you have a master valve, manually open it and try running the system. If you use a pump, verify that it activates.
5. Corroded or damaged wire connections: In wet environments, use grease caps to prevent corrosion. Check for corrosion or damage in the valve box.
6. Battery issue: The CR2032 battery retains the program during power loss but does not operate the valves. Replace it annually, but note that valve operation requires external power.
These checks can help identify the cause and restore sprinkler function.

My program is set for program A, station 1 for 20 minutes, station 2 for 20 minutes. When station 1 is done, station 2 goes on. BUT when station 2 is done, station 1 starts over again for 40 minutes. How can I correct this?

The issue may be caused by multiple start times being programmed. To fix it:
1. Check if more than one start time is set. The system runs all programmed stations in sequence for each start time. 2. Remove extra start times if not needed. For example, clear Start Times 2 and 3 if only one watering cycle per day is desired. 3. Ensure the start times are not too close together, as overlapping times will stack and cause repeated cycles.
Adjust start times as needed and verify only the intended number are set.

Yes, the Orbit 57894 can be set to run at multiple times per day. Each program allows multiple start times, as shown in the example where Program A has start times at 2:30, 3:45, and 5:00.

Yes, the Orbit 57894 uses one CR2032 lithium battery. It is installed in the controller to maintain the program during power loss. A plastic strip must be removed to activate the factory-installed battery.
