Why You May Want Additional Transmitters
Security: Your gardener can work on your watering system while
your home and garage are locked.
Convenience: Your neighbor or friend can check your watering sys-
tem if you are on vacation. It may also be convenient to have a sepa-
rate Transmitter in more than one location (garage, kitchen, etc.).
Loss: If you misplace or lose your Transmitter, you have a back-up.

Installation
Timer Location
Select a location near a standard electrical outlet. Avoid using an
outlet controlled by an On/Off switch.
The timer should not be exposed to the weather or operated at tem-
peratures below 32° or above 113° Fahrenheit. (0° c + 45° c)
Installation works best inside a garage or protected area. The Timer
should not be mounted outdoors.
Note: The distance that the Transmitter and Timer will operate at is
approximately 200 feet line of sight. This distance can be affected by
obstacles such as walls, automobiles, metal siding, etc. To achieve the
maximum amount of range, mount the Timer as high on the wall as is
convenient for operation and service.

Figure 18: Mounting the Timer
Mounting the Timer
Screw a No. 8 screw at eye level leaving the screw head extended
out from the wall about 1/8 inch. Use expanding anchors in plaster
or masonry if necessary.
Slip the keyhole in the back of the timer over the extended screw.
Screw a No. 8 screw through each of the two holes at the bottom of
the timer box into the wall [See Figure 18].
Install two AA batteries, and re-enter the time and date
as required.
Wiring the Electric Valves
If the distance between the timer and valves is under 700 feet, use
WaterMaster sprinkler wire or 20 gauge plastic jacketed thermostat
wire to connect the timer to the valves. If the distance is over 700
feet, use 16 gauge wire. The wire can be buried in the ground; how-
ever, for more protection wires can be pulled through PVC pipe and
buried underground. Be careful to avoid burying the wires in loca-
