Also do you need to use a program B if you just want your front and back lawn to do the same thing can’t it all be done with program A?? I just don’t know what’s wrong with my sprinklers??
I understand how to set up the program but How do I delete a previous program? This is the problem I think we had it set up at 8PM then we had a power brake and it started to irrigate at midnight .... So I did set the program at 8pm again but now it still turns on at midnight and it regularly wakes us out of our sleep
When programming my 4 station unit, I find ALL stations on program A have to run same days. To run different days, I must go to program B. Hope I'm wrong, but having only 2 different 'run times' is pretty limiting. PLEASE, tell me I that's not the case
You are correct. These have two programs (A&B). Anything programmed on one program will have the same schedule. We do offer other timers with more functionality, but as this design is going on 15 years old, things were limited then.
Hello. I have a question, please. I hope you can help. I use this just for the lawn. now that it is summer time, I want to have it watered day time and again at night time. I usually have it set for 8 am and 8 pm. I used to be able to utilize both programs A and B to do that. Now my program B is not working. I was told by the gardener who set this up for me years ago, to just set stations 1 and 2 for each program. Station one comes on for 3 mins then station two (watering different areas of the grass). I can set program A to do this, no problem. I don't know what I am doing wrong, because program B is not working. I am doing everything for program B as for program A (I set program A, hit enter, then go to program B for start time, duration, etc and do the same ). When I put it back on the Auto mode, it keeps showing next start time to be for program A only. What steps am I missing?
Setting program B should be the same as program A. When you are setting the start time, make sure to press the PROGRAM button to toggle from A to B. It should be clearly displayed on the screen which program is being set. If it is toggling to B, and you are able to set times, but they are not coming on, that may represent a problem with the timer. If you are still unable to get this working, our support team would be happy to help. Please reach out to us with a private message on our linked social channels with your contact info, and we'll get in touch.
It sounds like you've got multiple start times set. Please note that each start time will run through all the scheduled run times (each zone) in the program. If you only need to have each zone run once, you would set only one start time.
We're sorry to hear this. We would need more information to determine what is causing the problem. Please reach out to our support team and they will get this resolved: www.orbitonline.com/contact-us/
This would be done through the START TIME option. You would set the first start time to when you want it to start in the morning and the next in the Evening. Pay attention to the AM/PM on the time as this can sometime trip people up.

@@Sarah-yo1dd Hello, social channels are linked in the description of this video.
My easy dial continues cycling through each zone 3 times before shutting off what do I do to correct problem

My sprinkler timer runs on manual but not on auto.

How to set up water in morning and evening
