Bluetooth® Water Timer

With Moisture Sensor Feature

A smart, efficient and convenient method to manage garden watering and irrigation.

This manual is a universal manual for all of our 1,2 and 4 zone Bluetooth® timers.

By using our free app on your Android or iOS smart device (minimum required iOS 9 or Android V7.0), this water timer can be programmed wirelessly, allowing you to use your smart phone or tablet to control all the programming and interface functions on your water timers or irrigation controllers. The app has easy-to-follow cues that are displayed on your smart device to guide you through the process. The timer can be set to water on any or all days of the week, from 10 times or more per day, with a duration ranging from one minute to 12 hours.

The water-delay setting lets you postpone your irrigation cycle without losing your preset program. You can also manually control the settings right at the faucet, without using the app. You can even manage multiple timers from the same app. These water timers will automatically water sequentially once they are programmed via your smartphone or tablet. No need to open the user’s guide to determine which buttons to push. The App is highly intuitive and programming is simple.

• The easy to install application is simple to operate.

• Daily, weekly and cyclical programming. A four-zone timer allows you to water four different areas from the same faucet. Each zone can be programmed with a different start time.
  (single and two-zone timers follow this same guide).

• Manage one or more controllers from a single app with the ability to name each controller, and add an image. You can replace the valve’s photo and name to easily distinguish where you want to water.

• Works with water pressure from 10 to 120 psi

• Easily change the manual settings from the App to water on demand (Manual watering available in 1 minute increments up to 360 minutes).

Useful Tips:

Seasonal storage :
Freezing temperatures can cause timers to freeze and expand, damaging the timer. At the end of the season or when there is frost in the forecast, remove your timer from the faucet, remove the batteries and be sure to store the timer indoors, away from freezing temperatures.

Tips for Battery :
– Always use fresh Alkaline batteries
– Do not use rechargeable or any other type of batteries
– Remove the batteries at the end of the season before storing
– Batteries should last about one season. A schedule with more frequent watering times can cause the batteries to drain faster

Understanding Zones :
– This is a timer allowing you to water four different areas from the same faucet. Each zone can be programmed with different start time.
– Do not run two zones at the same time as this will reduce your water pressure.
– When using additional external sensors, it is recommended to check the battery levels on a monthly basis.

Maintenance:

Cleaning Your Timer
Your timer should be cleaned periodically. From time-to-time, you may get sediment or dirt build-up in your timer. Follow the information below.

1. Turn off your water faucet. Remove the timer from the faucet connection and your hose connections. Look at the filter washer at the faucet connection input. Check that the filter washer is clear of any built-up sediment.
2. If the filter is dirty, remove the filter washer from the timer. Clean out the filter washer by placing it under running water.

3. Turn the timer upside down and activate the MANUAL mode. This will open up the valves and allow you to run water into the output connectors. By doing this, you can see if there are any clogs in the water flow. Once you see the water flow is correct, deactivate the MANUAL mode.
