Innovative design, plus ease of programming makes this controller unlike any other! This one controller can operate both 110 and 220-volt pumps with just a simple flip of a switch. Plus it also has a 24 volt output on either setting for solenoid valve operation. Using simple electronic keypad operation, programming from 2 to 8 zones with a run time of 1 to 256 minutes per zone and up to 3 start times per day. Seven day programming gives flexible water days, which is important in water conservative cities. The FIMCO low voltage Rain Sensor included with every electronic controller automatically shuts off the sprinkler system when it rains. When watering resumes after Rain Sensor mode shut off, the FIMCO Electronic Controller automatically resets the indexing valve to the first zone. Battery back-up, automatic reset circuit breaker, and built in surge protection keeps controller running under adverse situations. All these features and much more are designed into an attractive rainproof plastic enclosure that is perfect for outdoor use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Controller Does Not Turn On:
1 ) The controller may not be getting power, check the wiring diagram to make certain the unit is wired properly.
2 ) The controller may be getting the wrong voltage, check the power selector switch and make certain it is set to the proper voltage.

Controller Does Not Display Right Time Of Day:
1 ) The controller may not be programmed correctly. Check the On/Off day and AM/PM indicator to see if the programming is correct.
2 ) The battery may be dead, it is recommended to replace the 9-volt battery once a year.
3 ) The programming may not be complete. Make certain to complete the entire program before going on to the next. EXAMPLE: When setting the Time/Day/Zones make sure to set each section until it asks for Time of Day again. Failure to do so will result in the timer returning to factory settings.

Controller Loses Program During Power Failure:
The battery may be dead. It is recommended to replace the 9-volt battery once a year.

Controller Does Not Shut Off When It Is Raining:
1 ) The rain mode may be working improperly. Check to see if the wire to the rain sensor is still intact.
2 ) The rain sensor may be placed in an area where it is not recieving rainfall. Place the sensor in an area that will recieve rainfall
3 ) The rain sensor cup is not positioned correctly and it may need to be repositioned.
