1. Select a Location
When choosing a location for your timer, consider the
following:
• Choose location near a power source (if hard wiring) or
electrical outlet (applicable only to U .S . retail timers)
• Ensure operating temperatures are not below 32° or
above 158° Fahrenheit (below 0° Celsius or above 70°
Celsius)
• Place it away from direct sunlight if possible
• Ensure at least 9" of space to the left of the sprinkler
timer box for the door to swing open after installation
• Locate the timer where there is easy access to sprinkler
wire (from valves) . If mounted in an outdoor location,
shut the compartment door to keep the timer safe
from weather damage . To lock: insert the key and turn
clockwise to the locked position
Note: Sprinkler timers are weather-resistant to UL-50 and ETL
Listings, but should not be placed in areas where continuous
water could cause damage.
