If you set the start time to 7am and the "How Often" to 12 hours then yes the timer will come on at 7am and 7pm everyday. Make sure the "How Often" is set at 12 hours. Also check that the "Set Clock" has the current time.
If it's rained and you want to pause your watering. If I remember right you push the plus button while in the Auto position to set the rain delay interval.
Be aware that if these are to be stored in freezing temperatures/over winter, you must empty the internal solenoid water by removing timer from hoses and setting the timer to open the valve to allow you to blow by mouth, the residual water from the internal solenoid. It's surprising how much water you will blow out. Approx. 4-5 ml came out of mine. Enough to crack a plastic housing solenoid if frozen into a confined space.
eye have a 2 port timer. It does not seem to turn on the second poet. the first sttion turns on and off but the the second one is time for 20 min later and does not turn on. what is happening. thanks
I bought 4 of these. 4 Orbit 62061N Single Outlet Hose Watering Timers. ONE OF THEM will not turn on with new batteries. What can I do to help the time batteries make contact so it will work! The batteries have been checked and rechecked they are good and new.
Thanks for posting time video. I just bought a house and living in Texas I need to keep up with the foundation as well as the plants. I have soaker hoses around the house and plant, but how offten should I water them. I set The time for 4 days @ 30 mins. Does that sound about right?
I set the start time to 7am and the "How Often" to 12 hours; presuming that it will come on at 7 am and 7 pm (water twice a day). But by some reason, mine only comes on at the start time ( 7 am). I also check the RAIN delay to make sure it's at 0:00 but still doesn't work twice a day? Do you have any idea how to fix this?
To good to be true my orbit simple single timer just keep wateting switched in and out of manuel a dozen set it to off position it is still running chsnged the batteries no luck
Can I go away longer than one week and this will continue. Silly question maybe. I did ask at the hardware store but the guy wasn’t sure. Thanks. Mike. New Zealand.
i bought one of those --the instruction papers were for a different kind of timer -------that is just poor packaging ----the label and the product should be correct
