DIG 410BT Series 410BT-ASV Bluetooth Battery Powered Irrigation Controller Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing DIG’s 410BT Single Station Battery Operated Controller. This manual describes how to get the 410BT series controller up and running quickly. After reading this manual and becoming familiar with the basic functionality of the controller, use the manual as a reference for less common tasks in the future.

ABOUT THE 410BT BATTERY OPERATED CONTROLLER

The 410BT series irrigation controller employs the latest in Bluetooth® technology using the free DIG BTT app for Android™ or iPhone®. The 410BT is available as a single station battery operated controller and is powered by two AA batteries that can last up to one year using name brand alkaline batteries. The controller is enclosed in a compact, waterproof housing to protect it from degradation.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Install two fresh, brand name, AA alkaline batteries (not included) and note the proper direction of the positive and negative orientation on the underside of the controller.
3. Insert and screw the battery cap clockwise. Make sure to securely tighten the cover firmly by hand only.
   The controller will now appear on the smartphone app and is ready to be connected to and programmed.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ANTI-SIPHON VALVE COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

ANTI-SIPHON VALVE INSTALLATION

The 410BT-ASV can be installed directly to PVC pipe with two PVC male adapters (not included). Inlet 3⁄4 in. FNPT, outlet 3⁄4 in. FNPT.
Rated operating pressure: 10 to 125 PSI
Recommended operating pressure: 10 to 80 PSI
NOTE : The 410BT-ASV must be installed at least 6 in. higher than the highest sprinkler head on the system or back-drainage may occur.

Additional control valves must not be installed downstream of the antisiphon valve. The valve must not be operated continuously for more than 12 hours in any 24-hour period. Consult local codes for specific details.

1. Flush main line until water runs clear before installation.

2. Shut off main water supply.

3. Install the anti-siphon valve directly to PVC pipe using 3⁄4 in. PVC male adapters (Figure 5a and 5b) or use 3/4 in. schedule 80 nipple.
   The arrow on valve body indicates direction of water flow.
   NOTE : Wrap all fittings with Teflon tape. Do not use pipe cement on the valve as this will damage the valve and void the warranty. Make sure when wrapping fittings with Teflon tape that no excess gets into the internal assembly. Tighten the fittings with a wrench, but do not over tighten.

4. Turn the main water supply on and pressurize the system.

5. To test the 410BT-ASV, press the button on the unit. A click will be heard, indicating the valve is open. Check that the system is operating correctly and press the button again to turn it off. A second click will be heard indicating that the valve closed.

APP SCREENS OVERVIEW

The DIG BTT app automatically scans for nearby controllers after installation. Any DIG Bluetooth® controllers within 50′ (15 meters) line of sight will appear on screen.

• Your new controller will appear as the BT Controller. Its default image, status (watering -on- or not watering -off-), connection strength, and battery life will appear alongside it.
• Tap on the controller to connect to it and start programming.

You can access Connection History and Contact Us through the information icon in the top right corner of the screen.

• The Connection History allows you to see every controller and timer connected to from this phone or tablet. It stores the data it last received from each tap timer, but no editing can be done. Deleting an entry will remove all the saved data for that unit. Any passwords and/or pictures need to be reentered. To delete an entry, tap it and select the trash icon.

HOME SCREEN

Once connected, the Home screen will appear. This screen has everything needed to program the controller.

By default, the controller’s Program is off. To turn it on, push the switch under the “Program” area. It will turn green and the Program area will light up indicating that the program is active and can now be modified.

The controller is now ready to be programmed. Simply select the schedule (weekly, even/odd, or cyclical), set your start date or days, add times, and set a duration. The controller is updated immediately each time a button is tapped.

CONTROLLER SETTINGS

The controller’s Settings screen contains everything else needed to fully control your irrigation system. It can be reached by selecting the
Controller Settings button on the bottom of the screen. On this screen you can turn on or off the entire system through the System Active switch, add a rain delay to shut off the controller for a limited time, budget each month to modify the watering duration based on the season, set specific dates on which the timer should not run, and view 12-month history of the controller.

Use the settings menu to rename the controller to something memorable and upload a picture for easy and fast recognition for future viewing. Set a password to prevent unallowed users from connecting to your timer. The password is saved to the phone so it will (almost) never have to be entered again (unless it’s changed or when connecting to the timer with a new phone).

MANUAL RUN

The Manual Run screen allows for manual operation of the controller. It can be reached by selecting the Manual Run button on the bottom right of the screen.

To manually run the controller, tap the button on the right of the screen. This button can also be used to stop any existing run. The default manual run time is for five minutes; this can be changed by tapping on the time and changing it.

The controller can also manually run from the controller itself by tapping the water droplet button . The duration of this manual run is equal to the duration of the scheduled program. The button can also be used to end any watering.

RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS

• Press and hold the button on the 410BT for 15 seconds. This will remove all app settings, historical information, and any set passwords.This is the only way to remove a password so try not to forget it!
