Congratulations!
You have selected one of the most feature-packed yet simple-to-use
sprinkler system controllers available.
To acquaint yourself with your new controller, take just a few min-
utes to review some key Rain Dial features, then follow the recom-
mended procedures for installation, programming and operation.
• Modular design – Provides easy access to valve wiring terminals
and battery. Simple, snap-out control module for convenient
“Armchair” programming before installation.
• Remote Control ready – Built-in remote plug jack for use with
Irritrol handheld remote models CMR-KIT and KSR-KIT.
• Non-volatile Memory – Keeps user-defined watering program
information in memory for years—
without power!
• “Super Cap” – Maintains current time and date up to 24 hours
without A.C. power input or battery backup.
• Battery back-up – Maintains current time and date during an inter-
mittent power outage. Also enables the Rain Dial to be programmed
before prior to installation.
• 3 independent watering Programs – Enables different watering
routines to be set for trees, lawns and garden.
• 3 Start Times per Program – Provides three separate watering
cycle start times for each Program.
• Skip Days scheduling – Enables watering days to be determined
by an interval ranging from 1 to every 31 days.
• Odd/Even date scheduling – Municipalities and water purveyors
will sometimes mandate Odd/Even date watering as a water
conservation measure.
No problem for Rain Dial!
• Day Exclusion with Odd/Even and Skip Days scheduling –
Enables individual days within an Odd/Even or Skip Days
schedule to be excluded from operation.
• Overlapping or Stacking of Programs – Enables Programs or
manual stations to operate one at a time or 3 simultaneously.
• Station Test Program – Enables a test run time to be set for all
stations and operated in sequence.
Perfect for new installations!
