Programming and Special Features Of The Rain Bird TM2 Irrigation Controller

[@kara6845]

Great detailed video fixed my issues of sprinklers coming on again after they had run to what I thought you had to set each time for each zone. This help understand that it does all the times for you. You just have to set how many minutes you want each zone to run not times thanks so much for the detailed video. You only have to set one start time, it’s smart and does the rest for you. Thanks

Thank you for watching!

Hello, if I have 3 zones and Want them watered for 22 minutes each with the first one starting at 5am, when do I do the second one as they are in 15 minutes segments such as 5:00, 5:15, 5:30? I’m assuming I can’t do all of them at 5am even though it lets me on the program? Nor should I overlap? For a while I realized it said zone 1 start time was 5:00 and zone 2 and 3 were off as I figured they would follow behind the first one.

[@shirleydoughty6572]

How do I reset the run times to one time a day? I set the 1st run at 6 a.m., after setting the next 3 runs on "off." But the sprinkler comes on at 7 p.m. even though it's not scheduled to. Is there a way to clear all of it to reset it to my specs? Also, what is the the purpose of each ABC program.? I never received a manual explaining how the controller works and am frustrated I can't operate it properly. HELP!

[@davidforan3465]

First question. Why do we need to watch Instructional videos to be trained on how to program a product sold in the consumer marketplace? If this video is for "Beginners", that implies that there are training videos for intermediate and advanced lawn sprinkler operators. Why can't these major name brand consumer product companies find software programmers to develop a simple user-friendly user interface? I understand if the year is 1973 but it's 2023. Second question: I think I may have inadvertently programmed more than one program and now my system is watering several times per day. Where can I go to get more "advanced training" to learn how to switch between multiple programs to turn the additional programs off and only run the one program?

[@gdaley75]

Great instructions but I have a problem. My program runs fine but then repeats itself until I turn it off manually. How do I stop the additional running times when on automatic?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, it is typically a second start time with the same as the first start time. For example program a with a first and second start time programmed at 6am. It will run one start time and go on to the second. Hope this helps!

[@lic2kil007]

Have issue only Program A waters 4 zones 14min increments from 8p-9p than cycles again on it's own 9-10.?? No other Programs are set or times.

[@sealextremo]

thanks can be all the station works at the same time?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, just 1 station at a time.

I watched a lot of these videos and no one has addressed the Cyclic Days. Such as the “day cycle” and “days remaining” feature

[@joed8073]

set that cycle screen to days of the week screen (any day will work) and then set the dial to auto

[@joed8073]

in other words, dont leave the cycle screen on when you move the dial to auto..set it to a day of the week and then move the dial to auto

[@juleana9686]

What does it mean when you see a calendar with a arrow around it in the right hand corner when the switch is on auto run?

[@werquantum]

Thanks for the vid. Question: is the days delayed feature primarily utilized if you don’t have a rain sensor?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, yeah as a contractor we use that a lot if it is raining or has rained to not water when it is not needed.

[@werquantum]

@@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems Thanks for the quick turn. Hope business is good.

[@bernisworlds]

Mean I can set pump on zone 3 also when I don’t have a real zone 3 So use pump only right?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Yeah, you can. Just make sure water is flowing so you don’t dead head the pump. Hope this helps!

[@demetriawalker3414]

Thanks

[@ptown0358]

I feel my sprinkler is coming on 2 times or more a day. I only want it one time. Any help? Appreciated

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, you have 2 start times on program a, or a second start times on one of the other programs. Hope this helps!

[@ptown0358]

@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems 1 is on. 2. 3 and 4 say off? Any more details on why I'd have multiple would help. Thanks so much

[@freakrule21]

Good video. In case I missed it, can you turn off certain zones without turning off the entire day of watering?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Yeah, put the zones you don’t want to water down to zero minutes.

[@Matthew-hi5ud]

Great video

[@monicaledesma4084]

How do I program the time I want to run the system in the 2nd start time. I want my grass to be water twice a day. Thanks

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, make sure you are on the right program, turn the dial to start times, push the right arrow button to second, and set a second start time using the plus and minus buttons. Hope this helps!

[@jwrothe]

Is there a way to program 4 zones every other day, and one zone every day?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Yeah, do the 4 zones on program a, and the single zone on program b. Set the desired days per program. Hope this helps.

[@jazzmynk]

How can i change the zone settings on this irrigation system? My zone 3 is running with All zones and i don’t know why. Is there a way i can fix this?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, you have a valve stuck on. It is typically a bad valve or solenoid on the valve. The valve will need to be located and repaired. Hope this helps.

[@britneyhouston-escajeda7246]

Thx u

[@jaysonlobb5412]

Can I program a pump to be controlled by this controller?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, yes it would be wired into the master valve terminal. The controller also allows control of the master valve on a zone by zone basis.

[@rbtriano]

how do u progrm water days to odd or even

[@jellen7332]

Next time get up a little closer so we can see the sprinkler display

[@morgulbis]

The Manual Setting DOES have special features!!!
