How To Operate A Sprinkler Timer

Using a sprinkler timer is relatively easy whether initial programming or a manual program override is being performed. However, the homeowner should not forget about the device once it is set because the schedule will need to be changed once plants are fully grown, as the seasons change, and on rainy days. Knowing how to properly operate the device will allow these changes to be made quickly.

The water sprinkler timer will first need to be moved to the program setting feature. The user should set the programs in alphabetical order, starting with program A. The dial should be set to the current time, including AM or PM. The day can be selected by moving the dial to the word “today” and using the selection buttons to select the appropriate day of week. These items only need to be selected once when setting up the device.

The next step is to turn the dial to run times, select a station, and then use the selection buttons to enter the time period of watering for the valve. This will send the water to that specific zone for the specified time. The dial should then be turned to start time and the selection buttons can be used to choose the time the watering should begin.

Different brands include a different quantity of start times but usually only one is needed per program. The dial should then be turned to schedule the days the sprinkler timer should run. Each station, and subsequently each program, can be set in the same manner until the entire watering schedule has been established.

Operating lawn sprinkler timers is easy, only requiring that a few simple instructions be followed. The setting process involves specifying the days and times to water each area of the yard. When rainy days occur and seasons change, the user can manually override these settings.
