ADDITIONAL FEATURES RAIN DELAY • Turn dial to AUTO and Press the [RAIN DELAY] button. • Push the [+/-] to select 24, 48 or 72 hours. • Press [ENTER] to begin. • Press [CLEAR] to cancel the rain delay. MANUAL WATERING Your controller has the ability to allow you to manually water with- out disturbing the preset program. To Run all stations at the pre-programed duration • Turn the dial to AUTO. • Press the [MANUAL] button. Display will show A B and ALL. • Press [ENTER] (or wait a few seconds) to begin manual watering. All stations will water consecutively for their programmed duration. To Run a specific station for specified time • Turn the dial to AUTO. • Press the [MANUAL] button. • Press the [ƒ /„ ] buttons until desired station number appears. • Press the [+/–] to enter the desired duration. • Press [ENTER] (or wait a few seconds) to begin manual watering. To stop Manual Watering press [CLEAR]. Note: After the [MANUAL] button has been pushed, if a selection is not made within 5 seconds all stations and programs will begin watering using the programmed RUN TIMES. If no RUN TIMES have been set, nothing will happen and the display will return to the time of day. BACKUP BATTERY Your controller requires a CR2032 Lithium battery to maintain your program in case of an AC power loss. Tip: The Battery should be replaced every year, to avoid loss of programming. Note: Used up or dead batteries must be removed from the control- ler and disposed of properly. A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling system nor will it connect to IRIS with battery power alone. The sprinkler controller transformer must be connected to an AC line voltage source. For instructions on “Water Budgeting”, connecting the controller to a “Pump Start” relay, replacing the “Backup Battery” or for installing your controller outdoor, please download the full manual “Outdoor Swing Panel Controller” at www.orbitonline.com 8.

RF Exposure Info

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES FCC ID: ML6WT15ZBTRX12 RF exposure - 1 of 1 For Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) evaluation of the unit, the maximum power density at 20 cm from this mobile transmitter shall be less than the General Population / Uncontrolled MPE limit in OET Bulletin 65 and meet the requirement listed in KDB447498. For the 2.4GHz Triple Program outdoor water timer with Zigbee module of tested model: 27396, the measured powers among all the measured channels were within its production tolerance: +0 dBm (Minimum) and +10.5 dBm (Maximum).The antenna gain of 27396 is 0 dBi = 1.00 (num gain) and its maximum source-based time-averaging duty factor is 100.0% (1/1). From these data and its operating configuration – Mobile device, the exposed power density at a distance (R) of 20cm from the center of radiation of the antenna can be calculated according to OET Bulletin 65 as follow: The Conducted Power = 10.5 dBm = 11.22 mW The Conducted Power source-based time-averaging output power = (11.22 * 1.000) mW = 11.22 mW The power density at 20cm = 11.22 *1.00/ 4πR 2 = 0.0022 mW cm -2 In the frequency range of 1,500 - 100,000MHz, the MPE limit is 1.0 mWcm -2 for general population and uncontrolled exposure. As the measured power density at 20cm from the transmitter is lower than the MPE limit, the compliance to the MPE limit can be ensured by indicating the minimum 20cm separation between the transmitter's radiating structures and body of the user or nearby persons. The following RF exposure statement is proposed to be included in the user manual: “ FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement Caution: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, place the unit at least 20cm from nearby persons.”
