Other Features
Stop Watering
To stop an automatic or manual watering
schedule, turn the dial to OFF
For automatic watering remember to turn the dial
back to AUTO, as OFF will stop any future watering
cycles from occurring
Stacking Start Times
Should you accidentally set the same
STARTTIME on more than one PROGRAM, the
controller will stack them in sequential order
All programmed STARTTIMES will be watered from
the highest number first
Automatic Backup
L This product is fitted with permanent memory
L This allows the controller to hold all stowed values
even in the absence of power sources, which means
that programmed information will never be lost
Fitting a 9V battery is recommended to
extend the life of the coin battery but it will
not provide sufficient power run the display
If the battery is not fitted, the real time clock is
backed up with a lithium coin battery that has
been factory fitted–when the power returns
the clock will be restored to the current time
It is recommended that the 9V battery is
fitted and it is changed every 12 months
The display will show FAULT BAT in the display
when the battery has a week left to run–when this
occurs, replace the battery as soon as possible
If the AC power is off, the display will not be visible

watered, (such as an enclosed greenhouse, or plants
that are under cover) the rain sensor can be turned
OFF to continue watering during rainy conditions
