How to Program an Orbit Easy Set Logic Timer

[@brunkerj]

I've been staring at this thing for years simply letting the original program work. Now that you've shown me how easy it is to program, I've modified. Easily! Thank you

[@alejandrinametes4907]

This video has been very informative and very helpful to me because I thought setting the timer was for a professional to do, not for anyone; you have helped me to be at peace with this system. Thank you so much for showing us step by step and very clear.

[@lindsaycouture]

I was COMPLETELY LOST trying to set this system and you made it SO EASY! Thank you so much!

[@mattsoto4329]

2:06 Thank you for this. I stupidly set multiple start times (thinking they needed to be set for the different stations) and overwatered my plants for over a month. That was a painful water bill 😅

[@viciousonev4697]

Omg! Thank you thank you thank you. We just bought this house and the system was working but then stopped and couldn't figure out why. Because of this video i was able to fix my simple issue (realized how simple it was after watching the video) and learn more about my system. I was ready to throw in the tile. 🎉

[@isidraperson-lynn]

The person from Orbit assisted me patiently and was VERY knowledgeable. He helped me learn that the only problem was I had a "No AC" reading which meant that when we had a power outage due to this heat, the power strip the Orbit was plugged into inside was not reset. When the gentleman helped me get my sprinklers back on, my AC started working too. Whew! We thought a surge fried it. But he did not stop there. He walked me through programming it and even starting it manually. To think I was going to call a gardener because I did not want to wait on hold for 40 minutes. They picked up in 13! Thanks, Orbit!

[@naturalcare2373]

I have the same problem....when you mention"the power strip the orbit was plugged" this power strip was reset on your home electrical panel or its a regular power strip with 4 or 5 places to plug in several items? Thanks

[@nonstopbeet]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I have the same issue, been calling orbitand trying everything haha, how do you reset it though?

[@annawarner1078]

Thank you. Your video was very informative. I wanted to change my controller from running sprinklers every day to only 3 times a week, and your instructions allowed me to do it without any problem. I did not have to call the gardener. Thank you again.

[@justinpaterson8879]

The best and easiest demonstration video I have ever seen and followed..

[@brendongush9822]

Fantastic video, my book got wet and stuck together. Then I remembered youtube! Well done thank you.

[@troyjulius5642]

I wonder if there is an add-on for this model to upgrade to Bluetooth and a phone app?

[@ForeverConsciousResearch]

Any utility like water, power, ac, etc. that connects to Bluetooth &/or the internet is a really bad idea.

[@francoislaurent2249]

Just installed. Perfect for what I need. Additional start times per program are exactly what I need. Fairly easy to program after watching this.

[@wei-weizhang55]

Np

[@mattkeefe3850]

Bravo! This is going to be my future timer. After 25 years with a VERY EXPENSIVE TIMER that needs to be replaced I have decided to replace it with this unit. How simple and straight forward. The designers did a great job making it easy to program. I am a very happy and the price is within my budget. The video was very informative. Thank you.

[@irmawooliever9218]

Thank you so much for the information. My water bill is so high. The program was for 3 times a day. I wasn’t sure how to change it to 3 times a week, once. 🙂I’m glad I looked it up on KZbin. Thank you again…

[@dianas514]

Thank you! Watching your video much easier to understand then the manual that came with it. 😊

[@ELxTALIBAN]

Ive had the system for yrs..... But thank u for the system setup process....had totally forgotten how to go thru it

[@janisshaffer]

Thank you for this video. My husband can no longer communicate processes to me and I found this very helpful training for me to learn.

[@calichelady8024]

Excellent video! Thank you. Your video is clear and paced nicely so that your instructions can be easily understood and absorbed. You helped me immensely. I appreciate you very much. Thank you again.

[@DeEttaMayberry]

How do I cancel our previous set programs? I like the simplicity of your information. Thank you!

[@Natedoc808]

Use a pen or paper clip and press the reset button on the front; it will clear all data

[@jamieward7016]

WOW! I'm watching this on March 4th and that's the day you set on your system lol weeeird! Thanks for this tutorial my dad passed away suddenly and I'm trying to figure this all out on my own now :'(

[@erothegardener]

😥♥

[@dorothybradley9328]

The Lord will comfort you if you choose to follow his Son's teachings God Bless You! 🙏🙏🙏

[@nandro20]

You should have listen to your dad while he was here, he was trying to teach you what you had to learn now you have to learn through the school of hard knocks! But you will learn and bless your dad, I just hope my son will wake up and see what I’m trying to teach will make life easier for him but he thinks I’m lecturing him which I am so he can learn.

[@michaelrhoads4280]

Dude! Thank you! I thought I had it on my own, but I hadn't selected any days, so it never ran and we couldnt figure out why. Your video is so simple and straightforward! Cheers!

[@annawarner1078]

Yes - very simple and straightforward.

[@lentoviolento0418]

Iam an profesional landscaper and i found that this timer its very practical and simple to use has three programs so you can irrigate plants vegetables and grass in different times and not too expensive.

[@91splamy]

I was really struggling to figure out how to water the different zones of my yard. Thank you so much!

[@Irish-Triplet]

This was very helpful! My sprinklers were running, then running again. Somehow, I had two start times on. I'm hopeful this is the answer. Thanks!

[@lucretiahostetler1606]

Thanks for the clear and easy to understand video! I use it every spring

[@kyle1694]

Man I've had my house for 3 years and never knew how to use the timer. Very informative and super easy to follow

[@marjoriebukowski8448]

Thanks for the tutorial! I was wondering why my sprinklers were coming on more than once a day.

[@SC-mo3gx]

Thank you so much for this video; I felt it was easy to understand and very detailed enough for the average person. 👍

[@MercedesMechanic]

I love Orbit controllers, I've had two in 20 years and I recently bought a third one with remote to turn my DI water on and off in my driveway. I keep the remote in my car and anytime I want to rinse dust or bird poo off my car, I use the remote to turn on the water supply to my DI tanks in the backyard. I used to have to leave water turned on to my DI tanks out back just so I could use it in the driveway hose but the tanks cannot take constant water pressure and will blow their tops off sometimes if left under pressure. So I hooked 3/4 inch PVC pipe to the out side on my dual DI tanks and ran 40 feet of pipe to a hose spigot next to my driveway and hung a dedicated water hose next to it just for using DI water on the cars. When I turn on Orbit via the remote, the Orbit controller powers one inline sprinkler valve which is connected to a 3/4 inch PVC water supply hooked to the in-side on the dual DI tanks. Then about twice per week I use the remote to turn on my DI tank water, rinse my cars off and they pretty much stay clean all the time. I probably only use 3 to 5 gallons of water each time which is way less than washing the cars and the DI water is spot free. Our regular hose will leave horrible water spots on the cars, so Orbit's remote controlled unit and a dual DI tank set up saved the day.

[@jobacurini9744]

This video explains all features 100 times better than the manual. Thank you!

[@juanfranco9821]

Excellent video! I had never touched one of these systems but with this video I was able to set up my recently purchased home's sprinkler system effectively. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@cynthiaarmstrong9666]

Seriously this is so simple step by step how could it be less complicated? pause it after each step if you need more time. Good job to the creator of these instructions!

[@jakeviveros9439]

Just bought a house with this system, when I look at it it looks so daunting but this video made it cake thank you.

[@dancewitme211]

It still seems daunting to me even after viewing video, but I am not mechanically inclined.

[@ProximityOptics]

dancewitme211 Were you able to figure it out? I felt the same way but it ended being fine.

[@eugenealvarez4741]

Thank you for making this very clear for me good video with clear and concise instructions. I'm hoping that you have other videos in regards to repairing valves or replacing valves or taking off valves and other sprinkler needs once again thank you I appreciate it.

[@Hypersphere867]

How do you set up the wires for the sprinkler?

[@andyjohnson42]

At 4:20 in the video you discuss different programs. I have one zone watering a garden and would like to have multiple start times for only that one zone. I have the 6 station timer. Can I set that one zone up on another program to have it have multiple start times? Does the system run all programs automatically, or does the user have to manually choose program A, B, or C?

[@Dennis-lx9mo]

Thanks for this. My gardener installed it but now with water retrictions in California I needed how to reset it. One question, What is the "Budget" position for?

[@tomasgarza5571]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Very informative straight forward information. You went right to the tutorial!

[@Toolmamon]

Thank you for clearing up the start time! Great video!!!

[@noahdavidson957]

Excellent and informative video. Not too long or too short. Easy to understand and delivered at a good pace.

[@RobertoMartinez-lr3su]

PERFECT AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. PURCHASED A NEW HOME AND IT HAS ONE OF THESE, I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO OPERATE. THANKS THANKS THANKS A MILLION!

[@carlamendonca1723]

Thank you so much it was very easy to follow.😊

[@robertduke3061]

"Very simple to operate" yet over 1 million views. The people beg to differ!

[@brettlowe1660]

GREAT Video. So easy! Thank YOU!

[@wakeupcallproduction1547]

Thanks Man! I didn't get the owner's manual with mine and this helped a lot!

[@orbitsprinklers]

Glad it helped!

[@joelelah1]

Glad I found this! Bought this outdoor timer last week, but being a dork I'm lost at installation, so had the gardener (very experienced) install.....but his lack of "Ingles" showed, so I found this to get the fine tuning down.

[@zedhudson]

Had my irrigation reworked some time ago, and, the wire colors at the controller were different than those at my solenoids. Thanks for including the manual station run procedure, helped me get everything running right (after my control box was broken into and everything was set to run for an hour a day... massive water bill) hopefully this takes care of it.

[@elbolsillo]

Wtf?! Someone purposely changed your watering schedule just to mess with you?

[@JorgeTorres-gv6hm]

What is the budget setting for?

[@deedeekong7161]

Thank you! Very clear and concise.

[@Gallardo6669]

Super,great, thank you. Got the station used, no manual. I thought it's simple and intuitive, but station didn't come on.... "How often" had to be circlet, you told me! 😃

[@trapaki]

Hello! Thanks for the video. I would like to ask if it is possible to adjust a programm (A for example) as you like but not use it, just keep it saved for future use. I would like to adjust 2 programms (A & B) but use only one of them at a time. Is it possible?

[@alondraemiliano-b4p]

If I have morning programmed and afternoon do I have to change from program A n B?

[@stevehill1715]

Excellent instructions !

[@rodrigodezubiria2007]

Fantastic product Fantastic tutorial Thank you

[@michaelrhoads4280]

Dude. Perfect video. Kicking myself for not checking here sooner. I've been having the multiple start time issue and you cleared up my confusion perfectly. Cheers.

[@AlanMueller-b4o]

Can I turn off for the winter without losing the regular programming?

[@Unknown-gw7ll]

Thank you for sharing the video was very helpful

[@tinab.darling5512]

Great instructions. Nicely done....Thanks

[@Tablesaw818]

Thank you so much for the video. If only they made the written instructions that came with it as easy to interpret and your video.

[@fromroots]

Thanks for thi. Can you also please demonstrate how to turn off a particular sprinkler zone? Thanks

[@foxxxwatson9153]

Been in my house for 4 years and they didn't set the system or show me how. So I just did what I felt was right, well it was wrong and been wrong for 4 years. Glad I found this video that showed me everything and now I'm good to go.

[@cquintanilla71]

Very helpful thank you! I have the same timer. Thanks again!!

[@GregNewmanRealEstate]

Great video! Can you run through from the begging on a 3 day interval set up? Mine was all set up and I turned it to off forv2vdays of rain and then back to auto and the interval is all messed up?

[@kimhoffman4356]

Orbit is so great and great customer service

[@tomlathrop4094]

If I just want to view the settings do I just go through the same steps and not make changes or does it always default to no settings?

[@msouther1127]

I love mine. EXCEPT now in AUTO mode I am getting alternating screens between "Home Screen" and "Next Start Time" screen. No recent programming changes. The Home Screen should hold solid as in the video. All other settings are good as before. What am I missing?

[@sccpsteve]

The "Next Start Time" screen alternates between "Home Screen" every couple seconds, it's there to let you know what station (I call it a zone) will start up, and when it will do so. It won't show you the "Next Start Time" screen if the start times are not programmed. Can't tell you much because I've just installed this system and programmed it myself today but that's how it behaves on my system and it works regardless of the alternating screens. I believe it's normal Edit: If the system won't operate, is the rain delay mode on? You have to turn it off.

[@tdachel1]

Is there a function that restores all settings to default or factory settings?

[@tatianacuellar8690]

Thank you! easy follow instructions!

[@drewmaraj9767]

my dad and i are doing this its easy thx so much

[@lennypepp6484]

awesome thank you , you made it so easy to understand and use !!! great job

[@syedhaq6005]

Great explanation! Thank you

[@cindy6714]

I got my answer on the in-depth video. Thank you.

[@ricksitowski7575]

I am on a well and need to set delays between stations. Is this possible with this timer?

[@barbarabeddow3569]

Thank you for this clear, easy to understand video. I always come back to it for review as seasons and conditions change, Great timer-great video!

[@lifehasbeats]

Thank you! This really helped me out.

[@adammara288]

The issue I’m running into is I have it set on int but how do I see when the next water day is going to be?

[@misterjoe3]

Great video - helpful info - thanks !

[@mirnaespinoza4890]

You did an excellent job sir

[@scavenom2008]

😍

[@jorgealonso8742]

Have your like, good man. Helped me a lot.

[@jaegermasters10]

Thank you for my education

[@colleenswink2703]

Thank you this was a very helpful video

[@jlraya08]

Does that mean all stations will turn on at the same time? Not sure I followed.

[@couturedeana]

Thank you. Really helped me. :)

[@patsalinas7373]

How do I get a blank (all dashes) for start times?

[@ArtwithMrsTorres]

You mentioned you only need to enter one start time? I just want to make sure I’m understanding, does that mean if you enter one start time, it will program through all the stations? Or do you have to enter a different start time for every station?

[@jeffclark2644]

Just bought one of these and found your video helpful. However, I replaced a mechanical timer with this. I have an indexing valve, before that valve is a 2 lead solenoid. I cannot successfully get it programmed to where the indexing valve rotates to next zone. Just keeps on one zone. I have tried a 5 wire setup, same result. Any ideas would be great, thanks, jeff

[@jayvila1337]

Question. My manual cycle is not working no more. Would the reset button play a big role in this??

[@Heartwing37]

How do you change the battery?

[@enzomoya1689]

I am adjusting from summer water to winter water. When I push "MANUAL" zone 3 gets stuck on. What could cause this to happen? Shuts off when I turn dial to "OFF" Thanks for the video!

[@wrtgetrgetygerer2042]

Does setting multiple start times equate to making the sprinklers activate multiple times per day? We bought this model but are trying to make it run at least twice a day.

[@jkopvo]

Thanks for the video! One question: If you turn the dial to BUDGET, what does that do, or how does that work?

[@elbolsillo]

It lowers the price of water from the city by 49%. But it’s sewer water so sometimes it has chunks of stuff in it. But it’s sure a lot cheaper!

[@moonobservergilles5730]

I like this orbit works fine.

[@JeanneneLangfordartist]

Awesome video. This system timer works great. I STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SKIP A SECTION. I had to turn off the water for the veggie garden section as we are restricted on water usage. Anyone that knows please help! Thanks

[@janweblagazo9875]

Is there a way to manually shut down the sprinkler system in case there is a faulty sprinkler flooding an area?

[@wilburfinnigan2142]

Turn the dial to "OFF" shuts everything down..

[@QB941g]

Thanks for the easy directions. I think you didn't mention the budget feature. By default it is set to 100% right?

[@zillmc]

Is it possible to skip a certain Station in programming with this Orbit? E.g. if I want to skip Station 1, i don't see an option how to turn it off, or set to 0 minutes etc?

[@JoseGomez-ix2fh]

select the “clear” option on the middle left

[@xiaolujng597]

Thanks! Very helpful video. However, even though I have ensured everything is set up properly (no rain delay in operation) but it iw still not watering. What could be the problem?

[@orbitsprinklers]

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/

[@tahanikhaleel7776]

thank you for that information.

[@RoyMPerez-fn8mu]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@steveelgersma3589]

How does the timer know when it rains to activate the rain delay function? Is a sensor needed on the outside of the house that senses the rain, or do you have to do it manually each time it rains?

[@conchix7413]

Is there a trouble manual
