How in the world would I find the station numbers on the sprinklers itself. Bought a house and no instructions on these, so I’m trying to find out what number is assigned to each zone but having a hard time
Run each one manual, write down which area is running and you can put you hand on top of the valve to feel which one is running at the same time. Some people then label the valve with permanent maker on top as to what number it is. Let me know if you have any other questions. Check us out on YT, ua-cam.com/channels/goTGfKJPRiE87aMBB8lYHA.html
@@garyssprinklerrepair so I bought a new place and they were running at times I didn’t like, so I tried to switch the times but didn’t notice them actually turning on. So I tried doing what you said but it seems like I’m assuming the “drip lines” are the only ones turning on now. I tried programming it again and still same thing. Not sure why they won’t turn on again even when I run them manually.
It’s possible that they’re scheduled in the B program, not the A program. Have you checked the wiring to make sure they’re all wired up properly? I have a video for that. ua-cam.com/video/B371W7V5OzY/v-deo.html
- Hi I have the same exact Orbital sprinkler system as you, and I know you briefly explain this, but how do I make the “NoAC” go away? It keeps showing up on my orbital system and my sprinklers have not been going off. Thank you in advance.
Hopefully someone can answer me. Short story i have my start and run times. I have tested them all. They work perfect. BUT when i got up today the front was cycling through run times again. AT 10 AM. The starts are 7am 5 min intervals every 20 mins for the 2 stations up front. So 5 min each station 2 time. Starts at 7 finishes 820. But at 10 theybwere on again. I have no start times at all after 9....
Ya i set the front now so zone 1 and zone 2 have their own starts. Like 7 for one one side of the lawn and 730 for the other side. So front says A: 1: 7am 8 min (half the front yard) 2: 730am 8 min (The other half of front yard) For the back B: 3. 815 am 5 min (back yard sprinklers) 4. 820 am 30 min (back yard drip line)
Jeremiah Zackariot, in the A program you only need 1start time if both 1&2 run times are in that program it will water each one after each other without the 8:30 start
Gary, your explaining how to set the manual mode was the ticket!!! Thank you!

Hello, no AC means no power. Check the outlet it’s plugged into. The display is showing because of the battery running the timer.

Gary's Sprinkler Repair thank you for explaining. Your visor was very informative.

Jeremiah Zackariot switch to another program and see if there is another start time there
Jeremiah Zackariot you need only 1 start time, the zones will run sequentially 1at a time they don’t all need their own start times

So front says
