8. TIMER MANUAL OPERATION
This manual option operates the timer for a defined
irrigation period that has been programmed. The timer
will close automatically at the end of the irrigation period.

continue to function at the set times. This setting cannot
be implemented when the display is blinking, and can
only be used when the display is in current time of day
mode.

again and the timer will turn off.
9. IRRIGATION TIMER SUSPENSION
The suspension option is used to temporarily suspend irrigation timer operation. This would be
helpful, for example, while it is raining. The irrigation
operation schedule remains in the timer memory but is
not implemented until the suspension is cancelled.
To implement watering suspension: Press
consecutive seconds until

suspended.
To cancel watering suspension: Press
for 3
consecutive seconds until the

timer will revert to normal operation.
10. BLINKING LOW BATTERY WARNING
A blinking battery icon
appears on the display when the batteries are low. At this point, the
battery still contains a limited amount of energy for valve operation, however the battery should be
replaced promptly. If the battery is not replaced, it will then suspend the program.
Program data will be retained for 30 seconds while changing the battery.
11. MISSING DEFINITION IN IRRIGATION PROGRAM
noPr will appear when no days are active in scheduling watering days of the week (see
programming a weekly watering schedule). If no irrigation days have been selected the timer will
not open during manual operation (see 8 Timer Manual Operation).
12. MAINTENANCE
• Remove batteries if the timer will not be used for a prolonged period.
• The timer contains an internal screen washer, which has to be removed and cleaned periodically.
If the screen washer is not cleaned on a regular basis, it could effect the timer operation.
• Battery life is at least 1 year or 1 season.
• We suggest cleaning the screen washer whenever changing the batteries.
