Melnor 3060 - 2005 - Manual

Let’s Get Started
Place the label containing English operating instructions inside
the green control panel door.
Remove the protective film from the control panel.
Carefully snap the control panel door onto the timer to protect
the control panel from sun and precipitation.
Installing Batteries
1. Open battery door by removing the three screws using a
Phillips head screw driver.
2. Install two new AA alkaline batteries (not included) in the
positions shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Place the battery door back in position and carefully push
it into place. While holding it, re-secure the screws. Now
your timer is on and waiting for you to set the time of day.
The motor may activate, and then you will hear the valve
opening or closing for a few seconds.
Additional Battery Information
We recommend using good quality, fresh alkaline batteries.
Fresh batteries should last one watering season.
Replace the batteries at the beginning of each watering
season.
Remove the batteries when the timer is not in use for an
extended period of time.
When the batteries become weak, the unit will display Low
Battery. If the watering valve is open at that time, the timer will
close the valve. It will not activate or open the valve manually
until the batteries are replaced.
Programming Your Timer
You can program your timer while it is on or off the faucet. It
may be easier to program the unit before you attach it.
Note: When you are programming your timer, words and/or
numbers will blink on the screen. This indicates the unit is
ready to accept your input. If you do not enter any information
within approximately one minute, the unit will return to its
original settings and you will have to start over.
If You Need to Start Over
To start over, push the MENU button. If the time and day
are correct, push MENU again (this will take you to Watering
Cycles). Otherwise, go thru the hour, minute and day
settings, updating as necessary. If at any time while you are
programming the unit, you make a mistake or simply wish to
start over, press MENU.
Setting Time and Day of the Week
To begin, you must enter the current time and day into your
timer, much like setting a wristwatch.
Note: For hours that are in the PM, PM is displayed on the
screen. For hours that are in the AM, AM will not be displayed.
Hour: As you look at the screen, you will see a number for
the hour blinking. Scroll up or down to set the current hour.
When you have arrived at the correct hour, press the ACCEPT
button.
Minute: Now the screen shows the minute blinking. Scroll up
or down to set the correct minute, and press ACCEPT.
Day of the Week: Look for the indicator blinking along the
bottom of the screen above the days of the week. Scroll to
arrive at today’s day, then press ACCEPT.
Entering a Watering Schedule
Think about your watering needs. How often do you want to
water? For how long? When is the best time to water? Do
you need to water more than once a day? It may be helpful
to write down a schedule before you begin this phase of
programming the timer.
This timer enables you to set up to six different watering cycles
within your schedule. Each cycle triggers one daily watering
on as many days as you choose.
If you want more than one watering cycle in a 24-hour period,
you will need to set up an additional cycle for each additional
watering. You may program up to six watering cycles.
Start Time
The indicator is blinking under Watering Cycle 1 in the upper
left corner of the screen. Press ACCEPT to begin setting up
Watering Cycle 1. Decide when you want to begin watering.
Set and ACCEPT the hour, then the minute, using the scroll
buttons.
Duration of Watering
Next, choose how long you want to water, or run-time. Scroll
to the desired run-time hour, press ACCEPT. Then scroll to the
desired minute, press ACCEPT.
Watering Every Two or Three Days
The indicator on the screen will blink at 3rd Day in the upper
