I. Introduction: What is a Watering Cycle?
Each watering cycle opens and closes all the valves assigned to a program, in sequence,
starting with the lowest valve number. For example, in the sample watering plan shown,
program A has three start times which initiate three watering cycles. All four valves in the
program water in sequence, three times each day, once at 7:00am, once at 5:00pm, and
once at 11:00pm. This timer can be set to start three watering cycles per program. The three
programs are all completely independent of each other, giving you the freedom to include
any combination of valves in each program
and the ability to select different watering
days and start times for each program.
After programming, write your watering
plan in pencil on the back of the Quick
Reference Card, located on the inside of
the timer door. The REVIEW feature can be
used to review your programmed watering
plan. For the days you have selected in
programs A, B and C, each programmed
start time turns on every selected valve in
sequence, from the lowest valve number to
the highest valve number.
Note: Each program (A, B and C) is simply a set of instructions that direct which valves to
run for how long, on which days and at what time. If you need numerous start times or several
schedules, you will need to use multiple programs. However, in some cases one program will
be sufficient.

II. Installation
Selecting an Installation Site
Install the timer with the display at eye level. If you will be using a pump, the timer must be
mounted at least 15 feet (4.5m) away from your pump start relay and pump. Do not plug the
timer into any power circuit serving a refrigerator, a pump, an air conditioner, a garage door
opener, a washer or dryer, or other high-powered equipment.
WARNING: This timer is designed for indoor installation only. Installing this timer
outdoors will void the warranty and may result in an electric shock hazard.
Mounting the timer
1. Select an indoor location within 6 feet (1.8m) of an outlet to mount your timer. Do not use
an outlet that is controlled by an On/Of switch. Mount with display at eye level.
2. Drive one #8 screw into wall leaving approximately 1/8" (3.2mm) exposed. Use a plastic
anchor sleeve if wall is plaster board or masonry.
3. Mount the hanger kit to the top/back of the timer. Hang the timer on the mounting screw.
4. Drive two additional #8 screws through the holes at the bottom of the timer case into the
wall to secure.
Note: To enable programming the timer prior to installation, connect a 9-volt Alkaline
battery to the battery clip at this time. Refer to “Dial Programming” on page 4 for
programming instructions.
Caution: Replace battery with the same or equivalent type. Dispose of used batteries
as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Connect the Valves & Transformer
WARNING: To avoid an electrical shock hazard, do not plug the transformer
into the outlet until all wire connections to the timer have been completed.
The timer operates on 24 V a.c. Do not attempt to connect the timer directly to
the wall outlet. This will destroy the timer and may result in electrical shock or
fire hazard.

Figure 1
Note: Please use only single strand, color-coded irrigation wire for your installation.
1. Connect the wire from valve #1 to the terminal slot marked 1, connect the wire from valve
#2 to the terminal slot #2 and so on until all valves are connected.
2. Connect the one common wire from the valves to the terminal marked “COM”.
(See Figure 1 ). Back the terminal screw out until head is 1/8" (3.2mm) above plastic
partition. Expose approximately 1/2" (13mm) of bare copper from the end of the wire to
reduce short circuiting of two adjacent wires. Slip wire through hole under screw and
tighten screw until wire is secure.
3. Connect the transformer wires to the two screws marked 24 VAC.
Caution: Wire only one valve to each terminal screw. Wiring more than one valve
per terminal may result in damage to the timer. Do not use valves that exceed 0.25
amps maximum output holding current. Also, if using more than one timer, do not
share common wires. Run a separate common wire for each timer.
Connecting a Pump Start Relay
Note: When a pump is to be operated by the timer, a pump start relay must be used and
should be set up by an electrician. The relay coil should be connected to the master valve
output terminal marked MV and the common terminal COM at the timer. The relay contacts
will be connected to the pump start terminals and must be rated for use with your particular
pump. (See Figure 2). In addition, a high pressure relief mechanism is recommended. See
your pump dealer for more information.
Caution: The timer must be mounted at least 15 feet (4.5m) away from both the
pump start relay and the pump. Do not drive the pump directly from the timer. The
relay coil must be rated for 24 V a.c. at 250 mA (maximum).
Note: When all connections have been completed, install the front access cover and plug
the timer transformer into the wall outlet.

III. Dial Programming
Use the dial to set all elements of your program or to simply review and update existing
information.
Setting Time and Date
1. Set the dial to the Time/Date position.
2. Time: The hour will flash. Use the +and –buttons to change the hour shown on the
display. Press the Next button and the Minutes will flash. Press the +or –button to
change the minutes shown on the display. Press the Next button and AM/PM will flash.
Press either the +or –button to change AM/PM.
3. Month: Press the Next button to set the month. Use the +and –buttons to change the
month.
4. Date: Press the Next button to set the date. Use the +and –buttons to change the date.
5. Year: Press the Next button to set the year. Use the +and –buttons to change the year.
Return dial to Run position.

Setting Valve Run Times
Follow the steps below to program how long each valve will water.
1. Set the dial to the Zone Run Time position.
2. Select program A, B, or C.
3. The display will indicate the valve number and then the run time for that valve.
4. Use the +and –buttons to change the time shown on the display.
5. Press the Next button to advance to the next valve.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each valve.
7. You may set the water duration for each zone from one minute to 9 hours and 59 minutes.
8. Set the watering time to under 1 minute or over 9 hours and 59 minutes to set the valve
in OFF mode.
Return dial to Run position.
Master Valve/Pump Start
A master valve or pump start is sometimes used in systems. When the master valve is on, the
timer provides constant output to that terminal when any valves are on. This feature allows a
pump to draw water from a well or other source, or opens the master valve whenever
watering occurs. The practice of using a pump is common in some areas and rare in others.
(If you do not have a pump start or master valve installed, you will not need this feature.)
The Lawn Master allows you to operate a master valve or pump start in each program.

1. To select your master valve option ON, set the dial to Zone Run Time.
2. Press the Next button until Master is displayed (after the last valve).
3. Press the +button to turn the master valve ON.
4. Press the –button to turn the master valve OFF.
Selecting Program Start Times
This sets the time of the day you wish to water. Each program has three start times available.
1. Set the dial to the Start Time position. The display will flash “START A1, START B1,
or START C1” depending on the position of the program select switch, and then show
the start time programmed. If there is no start time entered, OFF will be displayed.
2. Select program A, B, or C.
3. Use the +and –buttons to change the start time.
4. Press the Next button to select the next start time.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for subsequent start times, when watering is needed more than one
time per day.
6. If a start time is not required, set the start time to between 11:59 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.
to set a start time to OFF. Return dial to Run position.
6
Canceling a Program Start Time
1. With the dial set to the START TIME position, use the +and –buttons to set the start time
to OFF, (which is between 11:59 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.).
2. If a program has all three start times turned off, then that program is Off. (All other
program details are retained). Because there are no start times, there will be no watering
with that program. This is a convenient way to stop one program without turning the dial
to the OFF position in case you need the other program(s) to water.
Selecting Days to Water
This sets the days of the week you wish to water.
1. Set the dial to Water Days.
2. Select program A, B, or C.
There are four different options: odd days, even days, skip days, or specific days of the week.
7
Selecting Odd or Even Days
This option will water only odd days or even days of the month.
3. Press the +button to select or the –button to cancel Odd Days.
4. Press the Next button to go to Even Days.
5. Press the +button to select or the –button to cancel Even Days.
Note: The 31st of any month and the 29th of February of a leap year, are always treated
as Off days in Odd Days watering.
Selecting Skip Days
This option allows you to select an interval from 1 to 30 days between watering days.
6. Press the Next button to go to Skip Days.
7. Press the +or –button to select the number of days to skip before each watering day.
Selecting Specific Days of the Week
This option allows you to water on specific days of the week, e.g. MON, WED and FRI.
8. Press the Next button to advance to the day of the week option.
9. Press the +button to activate specific days ON, then use the Next button to sequence
through the individual days. Press the +button to turn on a particular day of the week to
water. Press the –button to turn watering off that day.
10. Press the Next button to advance to the next day of the week.
11. Repeat steps 9and 10 until all desired days have been selected.
Return dial to Run position.
