You should mention Program A vs Program B switch. I went through this setup several times only to have my system kick on at the oddest times. THEN ... I noticed A & B. Overall a very instructive and helpful video for us idiots who never had an irrigation system that bought an existing home with one. Thanks!
Thank You! I moved into my house a year ago and there was no manual that was left to figure out how the system works! Thanks for such a through video and instructions, I was able to get it working!
Fantastic instructions. I've owned one of these for a number of year and didn't take the time to figure out how to operate. Your instructions and very thorough and I really enjoyed your pase. Great 👍 👌 work.
This is probably the best instructional video in any category I've seen on UA-cam. I installed a some SOD for a customer and watching this one's I was able to reprogram and set the control for my customer without any issues.
When I bought my house, last year, this system was installed. This video really helped explain how it worked. I would like to know what PGM A and B were though... but I can keep googling! :) Thanks again.
My 6TM controller show no signal. I changed the fuses(2) and the battery. I still have no view, is that mean the circuit board chip is dead? or is there anything else can I do to restore it, ?
This video saved my ass! It also saved on my water bill. Thank you so much for posting. This is the exact same one I have. I subscribed to your channel.
So I just moved to a much drier climate in Colorado compared to SW Florida where we'd get inches of rain a day and never thought about sprinkler systems. My timer appears to be working properly after I had set it up as it starts the countdown of remaining time per each station, but all four stations aren't spraying. I may not have the program set properly or something, but the only other reason I can think the sprinklers aren't getting water is because there may be a valve closed off but I don't know where said shut off valve would be lol. It's got me stumped atm so any input would be helpful, if I can't get it working with a few extra tips I may have to consider having a local professional come out
I guess I'm not getting something. My instructions inside the door say I can select "A" or "B" or both programs but it doesn't tell me how to get "A&B" on . Each time I press the A/B button it seems to just toggle between A and B. Shouldn't both A & B light up if both programs are on? I'm trying to run A every other day 1 time per day on 4 zones and B 3 times per day for 3 zones to establish new grass. Anyone experience this? If you can help thanks
Hi, Our nonprofit has model ESP-4i. The 4 buttons at the top of the controller have no effect on the settings shown in the window. We have the dial on "Auto" and the schedule on "Custom." We can't even change the clock time. Is there a way to re-set the controller. Should we unplug it and remove the battery for a few minutes and then plug it back in? Will this clear things out and allow us to re-set everything? Thank you!
Hello, yeah you can try that, also remove the fuse from behind the cover. If that doesn't work the controller may need to be replaced as the button control can go bad over time.
Thanks- question- when I turn the dial the screen just keeps showing date and time, it doesn’t change. The sprinkler system still works… I just want to change run times of stations
How do you reset it? I want to change my days and time and it won’t allow me to do so??? How do I reset the system; unplugging it doesn’t work either!!!
Is there anyway you can change stations around? For example let's says station 1 runs in the backyard and it's only one sprinkler that's being use but I wanna change it to station 5 which all sprinklers are being run in the front yard. Hope it makes sense
Hello, the easiest way to that is to switch the wires around going to the valves in the field located under the removable cover at the base of the controller.
I hope this works for me. But you didn't touch on program A and program B. I am running program A and set no start time for program B hoping that will fix my problem.
Hi I am having problems with the control I set up it for a time of irrigation of 30 min, however, when I started the irrigation time is 6 min! Is there something wrong in the control?
saw your comment after I left mine. If I had read the comments the FIRST time I watched this video, I wouldn't have needed to comment except to give YOU a thumbs up - which I just did. Thanks!
All zones can be on program A. Set the controller to program B and remove all the run times. After that is completed set the controller to program A and add run time to the two zones that previously had time on program B.
The advantage of having some zones on program A and some on program B is if part of the yard is existing lawn and part of the lawn is newly planted the second program would allow for different watering requirements with different start times and zone run times.
Yeah, don't utilize a programmed start time, put time on the zones you would like to run, and push the manual start button with the controller in the auto position.
Hello, you may have a stuck valve, in most cases the valve needs to be located, cleaned out, and put back together or it may be a controller issue. You can try unplugging the controller and see if the valve turns off. Hope this helps

You are welcome!
Thank you for the ONLY video on UA-cam that truly and easily explains this system!
OMG. No one left any info at my house. Looking at the device freaked me out. Then I found this video. Thank you so much!!!!
still using video for the past two years. Thanks again

I see this video has been around a while- thank you so much, just used it to program. MANY MANY thanks!
Perfect instructions thank you very much I purchased a home and this is the exact same Sprinkler System model that came with the house.
When I bought my house, last year, this system was installed. This video really helped explain how it worked. I would like to know what PGM A and B were though... but I can keep googling! :) Thanks again.
appreciated showing how to turn off program start times as all of mine were set and only wanted one.
Appreciate how this guide covers every control. Thanks!
Glad to help!
Thank you so much, I have this system and didn't pay attention when I bought the house and now I have new sod I couldn't find the manual..
Thank you very much. You explained everything perfectly.
Absolutely, excellent and exact, extremely helpful instructions! Thank you soooo much! I just now subscribed.
Ty so much for this great video! I couldn't figure out my timer.
Thankyou so much. Very very helpful . Simple and clear explanation
Awesome. Thank you for the walk through. You saved me from having to call the company.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! the explanation was informative & easy to understand. Thanks
As a first time home owner this is very helpful and informational. Thanks for the great video.
This music is so beautiful I almost cried.
Thank you. Your instructions made programming my device very easy.
HappyJigg oof
This was the best video ever! Thanks, now I know how to work my irrigation system 😬
Thank you. Very easy to understand because of your video!
Yhank you, I fixed it with your help!
Great video. Thank you
My 6TM controller show no signal. I changed the fuses(2) and the battery. I still have no view, is that mean the circuit board chip is dead? or is there anything else can I do to restore it, ?
Again-excellent video
Thank you ¡ your lectures is very clear , easy to understand .
Thank you so much for your help!!!!!! 😊
This video saved my ass! It also saved on my water bill. Thank you so much for posting. This is the exact same one I have. I subscribed to your channel.
Very much appreciated! Worked!
Excellent video
Great video. This was so helpful. I have more than 6 zones. How would I program those?

Hello, if all four stations are not working check to make sure the water is on, or the system has a master valve.
Really helpful!!
Outstanding and thank you!
Thank you for your video. Very helpful.
You are welcome!

Hello, yeah those clocks are known for that issue. Unfortunately, you will need to have it replaced in the near future.
@@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems Thanks- Wish y’all were in Texas
Ty
Hey mine blinks like crazy when I hit the adv button and the sprinklers don’t pop up. What could I do to fix this?
How do you reset it? I want to change my days and time and it won’t allow me to do so??? How do I reset the system; unplugging it doesn’t work either!!!
Thanks so much for this video! Such a life saver!

This is a great video thank you much👍🏻
Thanks for the video. It really helped allot.
What happened to program B?
Awesome
What if you want to run your system on an AM/PM session? Do I use "A" for AM and "B" for PM? Sometimes also my system repeats the cycle
No. A and B are the "programs". Simply use the UP and DOWN arrow to switch the time and watch for "AM" and "PM" to switch.
@@biney-animemmanuel2360 Thx I figured it out lol
How do I clear my irrigation lines for winter
Hello, in most cases you need to hire a professional irrigation contractor to perform a proper winterization.
Mine doesn’t work anymore, i set the timer for 6am but I’ve checked multiple times, it doesn’t sprinkle the garden.
Hello, I would verify the water is on before installing a new controller.
This video helped TY
Hi
I am having problems with the control
I set up it for a time of irrigation of 30 min, however, when I started the irrigation time is 6 min!
Is there something wrong in the control?
Here in 2021 looking for an answer to your question. Having same problem.
Can you add a rain sensor to Thur controller?
What about program A and B ? GOOD INFO otherwise
saw your comment after I left mine. If I had read the comments the FIRST time I watched this video, I wouldn't have needed to comment except to give YOU a thumbs up - which I just did. Thanks!
What is the battery model number?
Perfect! Thank you!
I have this one and it was set up with 4 stations on A and 2 on B, why couldn't they all be on A and how would you change B to A.
All zones can be on program A. Set the controller to program B and remove all the run times. After that is completed set the controller to program A and add run time to the two zones that previously had time on program B.
Thanks so much! One more question if you have time to respond....what is the advantage of have them on two zone....Thank you in advance!!
The advantage of having some zones on program A and some on program B is if part of the yard is existing lawn and part of the lawn is newly planted the second program would allow for different watering requirements with different start times and zone run times.
Makes sense...Thanks so much!!
Thank you for instructions
Can this system be set for Manuel control. Off, on; area 1, area 2 and so on.
Yeah, don't utilize a programmed start time, put time on the zones you would like to run, and push the manual start button with the controller in the auto position.
How to use program A or B?
I don’t know why but I cannot set the current time? I tried everything I just saw on this video and on the manual and nothing works? Like WTF!
watch the video again. Time setting is at about minute 2:00
Thanks 🙏🏻
Necesito las intrucciones en español donde las puedo conseguir
Excelente¡
One of my stations won't turn off. Help!
Hello, you may have a stuck valve, in most cases the valve needs to be located, cleaned out, and put back together or it may be a controller issue. You can try unplugging the controller and see if the valve turns off. Hope this helps
Thank you
THANKS
Has anyone found out how to make the time switch from am to pm
