INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting the batteries and starting the controller
Remove the terminal panel under the LCD of the unit by pushing up on
the tab. Insert two new AA Alkaline (LR6 in Europe) batteries into the
battery clips in the pocket directly above the terminal strip. The AA
batteries enable the EZ Pro
™
and maintain the programs and real time clock in the event of a power
outage. If the batteries are not installed, and the Lithium battery has not
been activated, the controller will lose real time and programs in the
event of a power outage. The batteries should be replaced every five
years, or when low battery symbol appears.
CAUTION: Use AA alkaline batteries only. NiCad batteries may leak
or explode causing personal injury or property damage.
Lithium Battery Backup
The EZ Pro
™
Jr. controllers come with a lithium battery back-up, so
you will not lose program settings or time during a power failure -
even if there is no battery installed. There will be no visual indication
that this backup is working, or when this battery is going dead. Please
keep fresh Alkaline AA batteries in the unit for the main backup battery.
To activate the Lithium Battery backup, remove the tab marked
"PULL" located under the AA battery compartment.
Attach the battery/wiring cover, being sure not to damage wires. If
wires are stiff, you may find it helpful to pre-bend them. Turn on the
power source.
You're now ready to start programming!

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Programming Overview
The EZ Pro
™
Jr. can be programmed under AC power or powered from the
two AA alkaline batteries. Before programming the EZ Pro
helpful to become familiar with some general programming guidelines:
• If a segment(s) on the LCD is flashing, it means that it can be changed
by the user.
• When using keys, hold the button three seconds to start a fast scroll.
• Be sure the appropriate program letter is displayed when you are
programming; program changes are specific to the program letter
displayed on the LCD.
• There is no "ENTER" key. Key-presses and dial settings are stored
automatically for you.
• If you make a programming change while a program is running, the
program terminates immediately. The new program starts at the next
start time scheduled.
• When not running, the controller displays the current time and the current day.
• During manual operations, there is a 5-second delay before the operation
begins. During this time, you can change your settings. Each time you
make a change, the delay resets to 5 seconds.
• MANUAL and CYCLE procedures only operate with the Program dial set
in the AUTO position.
• After a test procedure runs, the controller reverts back to the AUTO
procedure and runs the next program scheduled.
• The test procedures ignore the sensor connection; this allows you to
water or run your program even if the sensor has suspended operation.
• To clear all programs and start over, press and hold SELECT '–' and
ADJUST '–' for three seconds
• Only one start time is needed per cycle. All programmed zones will run
sequentially.
• All three programs are independent and will run if programmed
regardless of dial position.
