Programming Orbit Battery Operated Underground Timer (57860) 

You need to press reset prior to programming It worked for me

There are 4 start times per program and for every start time entered it will run the stations programmed on that program in sequence one after the other. They will never run at the same time.

I'm using the 57861s with 57460 valves (I have 3/4 in. pvc lines, not 1 in.). I just replaced the included solenoids with the 861s.

Hello, we're sorry for the misinformation. This timer is still being produced. Also, our support team is trained on all our current and past timers, so you would still be able to get support.

This may be an issue with the solenoid, yes, but it's not something we've heard of being wide-spread. If you could please send us your contact info via one of the social media channels in the video descriptions and our support team will get in touch.

If water is running non-stop it may be an issue with the valves and not the timer. Please contact us and we'll help resolve.

Orbit Irrigation hi i have this timer but it run the program 3 times i dont no why can u give me a solution

Hello, we're sorry for the frustration. On these timers, the display will flash between the current time and the next scheduled start time when you are within 24 hours of the next start time. However, if this is coming on when it's not scheduled to, then that may indicate a programming error or other problem. First, make sure you're not setting multiple start times, as each start time will run through all the zones for the scheduled run time. Multiple start times will continue to run programs in sequence. If this is not the issue, Please reach out to our support team and they will get this resolved: www.orbitonline.com/contact-us/

Thank you for the response. Am I to understand that I cannot set unique start times for each zone? For example on a single timer I want to run zone 1 at 7:00 am for 3 hours; then Zone 2 at 10:00 am for 3 hours, then zone 3 at 4 pm for 30 minutes; ending with zone 4 at 6:30 pm for 120 minutes?

I just re watched this video what a dummy I am... I now understand how to set this to accomplish my needs. Thank you

Hello, running this in such a manner is not possible. The timer can have four run times on two programs.

To do this, use the START TIMES option and set three different start times.

@@orbitsprinklers Thank you!

daniel kleyman I am having the same problem, I hope he gives you a solution.

I'm having the same issue. I have two sections scheduled for the same time AM and PM. However, that's not how it's working. It's as if the sections have two different start times. For example: at the scheduled 9AM time, section 1 will begin; after section 1 has completed its cycle, section 2 will then begin its cycles. It as if I have section 1 scheduled for 9 AM and section 2 scheduled for 915 AM. Is there a way to correct this and have section 1 & 2 (even 3 & 4 if that was my application) all/both start at the EXACT same time? Thank you in advance!

@@christibbits3885 No, I think you need to use A and B. start time for A and start time for B, not for stations. then in HOW LONG you need to choose in start time A which stations you need to run and for how long. then swich to B and choose which stations you need to run and for how long. The start time for A will run all the stations one after another .. Also when B start all the stations in B will run one after another. Therefore, you can run all stations connected to A, 4 times in one single day if you choose 4 starting time. Thus, choose one start time for every programs A and B.

Hello, we're sorry to hear this. We'd like to help getting this fixed. Please send us your contact info via one of the social media channels in the video descriptions and our support team will get in touch.

Hello, this could be a couple things. Please send us a private message with your contact info and we'll get in touch to find the right fix.

You have to click on reset in the begining. Then after programming all your stations you need to put the timer on auto then off for 1 minuts to close all the valves then auto again. The timer now is ready to work !
