THANK YOU!!! The installer had no clue how to do this, so he just had everything run every day same time. I am a meticulous person, very into instructions and details. but no where did it explain that the program reverts to A at every setting. I found this video by accident and it now makes total sense.
I have a time that automatically shows up! I have zone 2 set for 30 minutes at 6 AM. I have zone 2 set for 30 minutes at 6:30. Then, out of the blue, at 7, zone 2 comes on again! I did a reset and put my times in all over again, but it still comes on. Any ideas?
So if I want to run all stations for 10 minutes in the morning and have that all programmed already as Program A, but I also want to run all stations again (on the same days as Program A) in the evening for 5 minutes, is that when I create a Program B? And if so, leaving the timer set to Auto will run both Programs?
Extremely helpful! Thank you. I was trying to make sure all my stations would run (since station 2 of my yard wasn't starting up), and I thought the 4 Start Times referred to my Stations. haha. Also, I appreciate the tip about the soil only being able to absorb a certain amount of water, so watering it for a long time would just result in water loss. That explains why the weeds on the slope on the other side of my fence grow like crazy and are a happy green. Thank you again!
I have new orbit timer but I have a index system so I have 1 valve and 3 zones how is the best way to program with your timer . As I need a 5 min down time for the index valve to switch to the next zone Please help !!! My last timer had a delay for the index valve to switch Tks jeff
I have a weird problem. I have 5 stations at my house. When I turn the knob to Run Time and then press the arrow to station 5, it always goes back to station 1. Like station 5 is not even there. But I am able to manually turn on station 5 for watering. Any ideas?
The only way to do that would be to make the second watering on a separate program. If they are the same program, then run times will be the same for every interval.
My timer goes from 1 station skips 2 and 3 goes to station 4 than 5 station and 6 station in other words I don see a display saying station 2 or 3 how can I see all station even though I don’t need all of them
is it possible to have the pump turn on on only one station ? station #1 is the lawn and needs a greater volume of water than the other stations which are drip circuits ?
I have had several people setting my Orbit Logic Timer .resulting in sprinklers going several times per day. How do I clear out the system to start over? I have a reset light but do not see a button. Please advise
Hello. To the left of the screen you'll see the small button labeled RESET. this is a button, not a light. To press it you'll need the end of a ballpoint pen or a pin or paperclip. This will wipe out all programming and take it back to factory fresh settings.
Press the reset button and see if that clears it. Be warned that will erase all programming and so you will have to reprogram. If that doesn't work, please send us your contract info via private message on our social media channels and we'll get in touch and get this solved.
so...i plugged a hair dryer into the outlet where the systems plugged into...make sure theres power...i have power...i pulled the 2032 battery and there was rust on it...i cleand off the rust and put a new battery and it fired right up....i thought this unit had a low battery light? this unit doesnt...model #57882
The budget setting allows you to adjust the percentage up or down based on season. This is helpful for allowing you to water more or less depending on seasonal conditions, without having to completely reprogram everything. So, for example, let's say you have your zones set to water for differing amounts of time (depending on zone), and as the weather gets cooler, you see you only need to water for half that time. Using the budget feature you could set it to 50% and the timer will now half the water time for each zone.
@@orbitsprinklers thank. I watched a video about setting the timer and run times for the sprinklers several times until I was able to understand the operation. I also learned about that little reset button. I pressed and held it down for +/- 15 seconds and that cleared all the data. Following the instructions on the video I was able to set up the sprinklers. I also learned to adjust the sprinklers' spraying distance and spray width. Thank you again.
I have two tow areas that are both large sections of my back yard are that were programmed to run right after the other. I lost the power two the second area. So can I just go back to the 1st and connect to the one not getting power and have then go off as programmed for the 1st and just forget about that broken electrical line. These sprinkler head are shooters. Send email to : tcthetford@yahoo.com! Your help is request.

Thank you you explained this better than orbit did. And showed me how the budget works.
Very clear and helpful. I have separated my drip time to avoid runoff. This program is wonderful. My 30yr old was not. Thank you.

morning ,can i take out the the yellow com. sensor wire.
Wonderful help but I would really like the 2nd watering to be shorter period of time. How can I do that?
The only way to do that would be to make the second watering on a separate program. If they are the same program, then run times will be the same for every interval.
Can you make a video about your new valve with the four screws?
What would you like to know about it?
How to replace the diaphragm, if it is reverse flow, and if you can buy replacement soilonoids for it.
We made a video for you on this: th-cam.com/video/K8arMRJ-cm4/w-d-xo.html
The part number for the diaphragm for those valves is 57045.
Thank you for the video.
Can I run 2 stations or zones at the same time?
My timer goes from 1 station skips 2 and 3 goes to station 4 than 5 station and 6 station in other words I don see a display saying station 2 or 3 how can I see all station even though I don’t need all of them
is it possible to have the pump turn on on only one station ? station #1 is the lawn and needs a greater volume of water than the other stations which are drip circuits ?
Hello, unfortunately, this is not possible. The pump will turn on for every zone.
I have the exact same timer but it doesn’t get to station 5 and 6 it goes from station 4 to station 1 and I can’t program the 5 and 6

What is the "budget" setting for?

How do I delete a watering time?
to the top-left of the dial is a CLEAR button. When on the time you want to delete, press that and it will take it back to zero.

Why didn't you SHOW how to program the 10 minute intervals instead of just TALKING about it?
I have two tow areas that are both large sections of my back yard are that were programmed to run right after the other. I lost the power two the second area.
