Installation and Programming Instructions
Mounting the Manifold

1. Attach support rod to manifold by inserting it into the two 

mounting holes on the back of the manifold.

2.  Mark where support rod touches the wall.
3.  Drill a pilot hole using a ¼-in. drill bit.
4.  Attach the support rod using the screw provided.

Installing the Batteries

1. Attach up to 4 valves to the manifold outlets (the valves are 

electronically operated and must be attached to the timer 
for proper operation). Open fully each of the shutoffs with 
a valve attached.

2.  Remove the plug and connect the wire from a valve to 

one of the numbered ports on the back of the timer. The 
numbers 1 through 4 are the “STATIONS” used while 
programming your timer.  Attach up to 4 valves.

3.  Remove the tray on the side of the timer by sliding or 

pulling it out.

4.  Insert two AA (1.5V) alkaline batteries (not included) and 

replace the tray.

Note: Firmly replace the battery tray to ensure water 
resistance and increase battery life. You will know the battery 
tray is fully inserted if it does not pull out easily. Used up or 
dead batteries must be removed from the timer and disposed 
of properly. Replace batteries when low battery icon appears 
on display. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may 
explode or leak.
