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.
COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
- Open the battery compartment cap by turning it counterclockwise.
- 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.
- 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.
VALVE ADAPTER INSTALLATION
The 410BT series controller includes three adapters to retrofit Rainbird,
Hunter and Toro valves. Follow the instructions below to install.
-
Shut off the main water supply
-
Remove the existing solenoid if applicable.
NOTE: If adapting to an IRRITROL valve, remove the solenoid but leave the existing solenoid adapter installed. -
Select the appropriate solenoid adapter associated with the valve. (see chart A)
-
Screw the solenoid adapter into the valve bonnet by hand, tighten with pliers if necessary – but do not overtighten.
-
Thread the 410BT series solenoid into the valve adapter. Hand tightens only.
-
Turn the main water supply on and pressurize the valve; the valve may discharge water momentarily but should then shut off.
-
Test the controller and the installation by pressing the button on the controller or see pages 11-12 on how to perform a manual run through the app. To turn the valve on via the solenoid, lift the 410BT series controller from the solenoid and turn the solenoid counter clockwise 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn, or until you hear or see water flowing through the valve. To turn the water off, turn the solenoid clockwise 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn and wait a few seconds for the valve to close.
-
Program the 410BT series controller (see pages 4-12).

IN-LINE VALVE INSTALLATION
Rated operating pressure: 10-125 PSI Recommended Operating Pressure: 10-80 PSI Warning: Wrap all fittings with Teflon tape! Do not use pipe cement on fittings or the valve as this will damage the valve and void the warranty!
- Shut off the main water supply.
- Install a 3/4″ ball or gate valve onto the PVC pipe or to the valve manifold before installing the controller (Figure 6a and 6b).
- Turn the water supply on to flush the line and then shut the water off using the ball or gate valve.
- Wrap the male threads of the PVC adapters with 4-6 layers of Teflon tape, then tighten into the valve with a wrench.
- Glue fittings to PVC mainline and allow to dry.
- Turn the water supply on to pressurize the system. The controller will open momentarily and then will shut off.
- The unit is now ready to be programmed
PROGRAMMING
- Download the DIG BTT app using the iOS App Store, Google Play, or the QR code on the box.
- Open the DIG BTT app from your smartphone or tablet and use the instructions in the App Screens Overview to program and operate the controller.
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 the 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 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 the 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 the 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!
