Setting Up the Irrigation Controller
4
2 . 2 . Manual-Mechanical Operation
The irrigation valve can be opened
and closed independent of controller
operation. Manual operation is
useful when immediate irrigation is
required, without the delay of
controller programming.
The 3-position valve handle [A] is
located on the solenoid Manual
valve, and functions as follows:
Closed [1], Automatic Operation
[AUTO], Open [2]. Note that the
Open and Closed positions in
2-Way and 3-Way valves are
reversed (see drawing below).

Important! For automatic irrigation operation, the valve handle must be in
the middle (AUTO) position.
2 . 3 . Battery Installation
Rotate the battery compartment
cover handle to the 11 o’clock
position to remove the cover. Insert
batteries (see drawing). All
controller display elements will
briefly appear on the display,
followed by the blinking time
“12:00”. The controller is now
ready to be programmed.
Important! Make sure to replace the battery compartment cover with its
handle in the 11 o’clock position to avoid possible cover guide pin
breakage.
