      The timer is telling you to make sure the wiring is connected correctly for an installed rain sensor. If you have no rain sensor installed, open the panel and locate the sensor switch (top right) and move selector to bypass. Hope that helped you out.

    This is really helpful. Does it matter which wire you are taking from the sprinkler solenoid to the common wire from each? For example, should I use the wire closest to the "off" word for each of the sprinkler solenoids and then have those wires going to the common, or does it not really matter which wire is running to the common and which is running to a color wire?

    • @garyssprinklerrepair
      @garyssprinklerrepair 16 днів тому

      There is no polarity for the solenoid wires, either one can go to the colored wire. As a rule I always use the left wire to go to common and the right wire to go to the colored wire. Just a habit, but it doesn’t matter. Hope that helps, don’t forget to Subscribe to our Channel it really helps us grow.

      Turn the water off, go by another valve. Home Depot and Lowes sell “Lawn Genie” it’s the same valve as Irritrol. Take the top off the new valve remove the spring and diaphragm, swap them with the old parts. Put the top back on, slowly turn the water back on.

      Yes, on the newer one you’re right. On the older version it clearly stated each zone needs to have a start time that follows the start time and added run time that came before it. So as to not overlap. Guess more than a few struggled with the concept hence the updated version.

You could always change them on the timer to be red, orange, blue then you know they correspond to the order of the valves. Hope that helped
