Copyright © 2015, Melnor, Inc. 15043_INS_E_00 1 T M TM This guide will help you connect your WiFi AquaTimer to your home WiFi network using a smartphone or tablet. After the initial setup, you can program your timer from a smart phone, tablet or computer. If at any time you need assistance, feel free to contact our support toll-free at: 844-MELNOR1 (844-635-6671) or by email at: [email protected] 2 After opening the package, please ensure you have all parts. • Valve Unit • Control Unit • Yellow Setup Tool • Power Adapter T M 3 Install batteries in the Valve Unit. You will need to supply 4 alkaline AA batteries. Ensure the battery cover is locked. Note: Do not use lithium or rechargable batteries in this product. 4 Determine the best location for the Control Unit. The Control Unit will need to be plugged in at all times. It needs to be located in an area that has good WiFi signal as well as within 200 feet of the Valve Unit. Walls, electrical equipment and other materials may affect this range. 7 On your smart device, download and install the “Melnor AquaTimer Configuration” app. Before launching the app, proceed to step 8. The app is only used to connect the timer to your home WiFi network. 6 Ensure that your smartphone or tablet is connected to the WiFi network you want to use for your WiFi AquaTimer. If not, switch your WiFi network in the smart device settings. This is for setup only. Once connected, you can control your timer from anywhere. 5 Use the included power adapter to connect the Control Unit to an indoor wall outlet. You should see flashing LED lights, alternating between “STATUS” and “CONFIG”.

Follow the prompts to setup your account. Once registered, you will need to log in using the password you just created. Note: It is important for you to remember your login information. You will need to access this website to program and review your WiFi AquaTimer. 12 You no longer need the Melnor AquaTimer Configuration app. You can turn it off and uninstall it at anytime. If you ever need to setup your timer on another WiFi network, you can easily reinstall the app. Moving forward, everything can be completed using any web browser on a smart phone, tablet or computer. 14 The website will then prompt you to enter the serial number of your Control Unit. You can find the 12-character serial number on the back of the Control Unit. TM SSID Network Name Password xxxxxx Gateway IP Address 192.168.000.000 Start 10 Enter the network password for your WiFi home network. The app will use this information to add your WiFi AquaTimer to your WiFi home network. Press “Start”. TM SSID Network Name Password xxxxxx Gateway IP Address 192.168.000.000 Start 9 Launch the app. Beside “SSID” you should see the name of your WiFi home network. If you don’t see the correct network name, your smart device is not connected to the WiFi network. 15 Next, you enter your postal code. This information is used to provide local weather information. 11 On the Control Unit, watch for the Config light to go out and the Status light to begin flashing. This process may take several minutes. Please be patient. Congratulations, the Control Unit is now connected to your home WiFi network. Note: Depending on your network, the app may or may not confirm the connection. If the Status light has started blinking, the unit is connected.

Wi-Fi Aquatimer Valve Unit Transmitter to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC §1.1307. Testing supporting this evaluation was performed at Washington Laboratories, Ltd, 7560 Lindbergh Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20879. Washington Laboratories, Ltd. has been accepted as an EMC Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) under the United States/European Union Memorandum of Agreement. Washington Laboratories, Ltd. is accredited with ACLASS under Testing Certificate AT-1448. 2 Requirements Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable. Additionally, the FCC categorizes the use of the devices based on the user’s awareness and the ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories are defined as Occupational/Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. 2.1 Transmitter Categories 2.1.1 Fixed Installations A fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. 2.1.2 Mobile Devices A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found i…
