Congratulations. You have purchased the easiest-to-use landscape control system
available today. Although it is possible to install and program your Rain Dial

controller
with little or no instructions, we strongly recommend that you read this guide first.
Your controller contains:
Specifications

– easy access to valve wiring terminals and battery.
– Simple snap-out removal of module for convenient “anywhere” programming or
service without disturbing installation.
– Easy modular upgrade to as many as 12 stations.

• Rugged, weather resistant, lockable case comes with 2 keys (outdoor models only).
• 3 Programs for different watering requirements such as trees, lawns and flower garden.
• 3 start times for each program, if desired.

• Fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual operation.
• Built-in circuit protection to protect the controller from power surges.
