Open: How to Program Your Raindrip R675CT Battery

Operated Timer Thanks for your recent purchase of our new

Raindrip Timer.

Programming a timer can appear to be difficult, but I am here to walk you through the programming,

step by step, and provide you with additional resources that are available if you still

need help.

Before you get started, it is important that you begin programming at the time of day you

want your watering to begin.

This is a simple timer that does not know what time it is � it only knows to go on

or off every hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week�.you get the idea.

Let me give you an example, if you want your watering to start at 6 am, then turn the frequency

dial to 24 hours at 6�o clock in the morning.

Let�s begin programming This timer operates with water pressure greater

than 15PSI.

That means you cannot use this timer to control water flow from, say a rain barrel.

Pressure must be applied.

Additionally, this timer must be installed on a hose bib above ground � do not install

it on a hose or location that has the timer laying on the ground.

This video will cover installation and programming.

We will cover programming first but note that you can also install the timer and program

afterward if that�s more convenient.

First, check your supply tubing, if it has a hose thread adapter already installed, you

are ready to begin programming.

If not, you will need to purchase a swivel adapter that fits your supply tubing.

To determine the size of your supply tubing so you purchase the right adapter, simply

measure the diameter of your tubing.

The most common sizes are ��, 5/8� and .710.

To connect the swivel adapter, simply push it onto the end of the tubing.

Before you begin, you�re going to need 2 AA, alkaline batteries and the timer.

Once you have these things together and you�ve decided your start time, you need to set all

three dials to �OFF� and �RESET�.

Once this is done, turn over the timer and remove the battery cover.

Pull on the tabs on the back of the timer to get access to the battery compartment,

then load the 2 AA batteries as indicated inside the battery tray.

Now you are ready to program the timer First, determine how often you want the water

to come on.

Your options are 1 time per hour all the way to 1 time per week.

Let�s say we want to water once a day.

Locate the FREQUENCY dial � note that the numbers on this dial represent hours - We

turn the frequency dial to �24 hours�.

Now, you need to determine how long you want the water to run.

Let�s say we want our water to run for 15 minutes each time the water comes on.

Locate the �RUN TIME� dial and turn the dial to �15�.

Note that the numbers on this dial are in minutes.

Make sure your RUN TIME setting is always less than the frequency setting.

There you go, wait for the confirmation flash on the automatic light and you are done programming

the timer.

The automatic light will continue flashing and watering will begin 24 hours later � because

the frequency dial is set to 24.

To install the timer, place the timer up to the hose bib.

Hold the body of the timer face up and screw on to the hose bib by hand tightening the

nut - do not use a wrench or any tool as it might break the nut.

If you are connecting a garden hose to your timer, you�re ready to go.

If you are connecting a drip system to your timer, then you need to connect your swivel

adapter.

To connect your drip system, you need to first attach your swivel adapter to your supply

tubing.

Locate the nut at the bottom of the adapter and twist it clockwise until tight.

Now push the supply tubing onto the swivel adapter.

Make sure the end of the supply tubing is past the barb and is secure inside the swivel

adapter.

Finally, twist the nut counter-clockwise over the supply tubing to lock it in place.

Once the swivel adapter is attached to your tubing, twist it onto the timer, turn the

water on and you�re done!

Sometimes you may find yourself in a situation where you need to water in between programmed

start times.

An extra hot day or possibly to test your system will require the use of this feature.

To water manually, simply locate the �MANUAL WATER� Dial at the top of the timer and

turn to the desired watering duration.

After the manual water cycle is complete, the timer will AUTOMATICALLY revert back to

the previously programmed setting.

For example, if we wanted to add an extra 10 minutes to our water cycle today, we would

turn the dial to 10.

You will see a confirmation flash on the manual light indicating that the programming is complete.

The manual light will continue flashing while the timer is in manual mode and will turn

off once the manual watering cycle ends.

When it rains, this timer has a feature that allows you to delay the watering for up to

72 hours.

Don�t worry, you will not lose your original program.

Here is how it works.

Go to the �RAIN DELAY� dial and turn it to the desired delay time which is featured

in hours.

In this case, we are going ask our timer to stop watering for 48 hours.

That means this timer will delay normal programmed watering for the next 48 hours.

The manual light will display a confirmation flash once the programming is complete and

will continue flashing while the timer is in rain delay mode.

The manual light goes off once the rain delay cycle ends.
