About the product

New Rain Dial Features

• Programs like previous Rain Dial controllers
• When using the standard features, programming is the same. The new features are behind current dial positions.
• Odd/Even DateWatering Schedule. Municipalities or water purveyors will sometimes mandate Odd/Even date watering as a water conservation measure.
• Day Exclusion Option from Odd/Even and Skip. DaysWatering Schedules. Enables select days to be restricted in Odd/Even and Skip Days watering schedules.
• Water Budget by Program. Enables the run time of all stations in a program to be simultaneously adjusted up or down by percentage from 0 to 200% in 10% increments.
• Well Recovery Delay. Enables an adjustable delay period from 1 second to 2 hours to be inserted between consecutive stations during a watering cycle – facilitates slow closing valves or well water recovery.
• Pump/Master Valve On/Off during Well Recovery. Delay. Allows the Pump/Master Valve circuit to be automatically switched on or off during a Well Recovery delay period. For example, a system supplied by a pump with slow closing valves would require the pump to be active during a delay between stations; a well water recovery system would not.
• Pump/Master Valve Control by Station. Allows automatic Pump/Master Valve circuit operation to be selected for each station as needed.
• Program Stack/Overlap Option. Enables watering operation to be restricted to one program at a time (stacked) or allowed to run up to 3 programs concurrently.
• Rain Delay up to 9 Days. The Rain Dial can now be set to delay watering up to nine (9) days and then automatically resume its schedule.
• Added Program Start Time Removal Options. Enables Program start time(s) to be turned off at four clock time increments provided between 11:59 p.m./12:00 a.m., 11:59 a.m./12:00 p.m., 5:59 a.m./ 6:00 a.m. and 5:59 p.m./ 6:00 p.m.
• Station Test Program. A new semi-auto mode that enables all stations to be automatically operated in sequence using a temporary run time from 1 to 10 minutes. Perfect for system check during installation or servicing.
• Manual Station Advance. Enables manual advance through the station sequence during test, manual, semi-auto or automatic start mode.
• Clear Program Memory. Enables all watering program information of a selected Program to be quickly erased.
• Diagnostic Circuit Breaker. Enables the controller to detect any station with excessive current draw, e.g., a faulty solenoid or short circuit. The affected station is automatically bypassed and identified on the display.
• Default Reset. Enables the user to reset the controller back to factory settings.
