Orbit Easy Dial 4-Station Irrigation System Controller, Indoor, Grey, 28964

Simple Dial Control for 4-Zone Sprinkler Systems The Easy Dial 4-station indoor irrigation controller (Model 28964) controls 24 VAC sprinkler and drip systems with up to six zones. This dial-operated controller uses physical dials and buttons instead of apps or wifi connections, making it straightforward to set watering schedules. The 300mA transformer powers one valve solenoid at a time. Engineered for installation in an indoor location that is not exposed to water. For outdoor installation, place it inside an Orbit 57095 outdoor cabinet with GFCI protection. Dual Programs with Flexible Scheduling Program A and B allow you to set two unique watering schedules tailored to different types of zones in your yard. Each program has four different start times which lets you create cycle-and-soak windows that encourage water infiltration into the soil. The Easy Dial controller automatically "stacks" overlapping runtimes from different programs so that only one solenoid runs at any given time. The Budget dial (10-200%) adjusts all programmed runtimes proportionally without reprogramming each station. Manual Mode & Rain Delay Manual run mode allows you to run one zone, select zones, or all zones sequentially for a specified length of time—very convenient for zone testing or supplemental watering. Rain Delay lets you skip watering zones for a configurable time when natural rainfall occurs. Includes a relay switch for adding an automatic rain and freeze sensor (sold separately). Note: This controller does not support pump start relay operation. Easy Installation & Compatibility Mount the controller on an indoor wall near a power outlet. Connect the common wire (typically white) to the C terminal and individual zone wires to numbered station terminals 1-6. Screw terminals hold 18-gauge irrigation wire securely. Compatible with 24 VAC valves from all major brands including Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro. If display shows "No AC," verify transformer is fully plugged into powered outlet.
