What does “Sen” mean????
The timer is telling you to make sure the wiring is connected correctly for an installed rain sensor. If you have no rain sensor installed, open the panel and locate the sensor switch (top right) and move selector to bypass. Hope that helped you out.

I've had this for years, and need to reprogram it. Great Video! I made it through pretty easily, for this 20 yr old timer. Thank You!

Quero saber qual a bateria para este programador, obrigado
I don’t speak your language, but I think you’re asking where would you find the battery, correct?
Thank you Gary. All the best.
HI Gary the area where I live currently has a extreme water restrictions this year it allows me only to water 1 day per week on Tuesdays I am not sure how to set the sprinkler for just one day a week! If you could let me know I would appreciate it, thanks for your time and consideration
Turn the dial to water days and use the “minus” button to remove days and the “plus” button to add days you want to keep. Hope that helps
@@garyssprinklerrepair Thank you so much indeed I was having doubts and there is a $5000 usd charge for over watering so I wanted to get it right and with your help it worked! Cheers
Can you run all stations without having to switch manually ?
With the timer in run mode, push the bottom left button “semi-auto” it will now run the program selected on top left. Hope that answered your question. Take a minute to Subscribe to our channel for more great tips.✌️

Got tired waiting for my husband to set the sprinkler! This really helped me get it going. My yard & I thank you
Glad you were able to use the video to help out. Hope you remembered to Subscribe to my Channel we have a lot more content and tips there.😁
Does it matter which color goes to the 2nd line
The colors on the timer will usually dictate the (colored wires color) normally the common is a white color. One wire from a valve goes to the white and the other wire goes to a colored wire. Let me know if you still need help. Don’t forget to Subscribe to my Channel for more great content.😁
thanks! power went out and my schedule no longer watered my lawn at the time I wanted. now it will!
Always great to hear the video helped. Hope you remembered to Subscribe to my Channel for more tips and help.✌️
This is really helpful. Does it matter which wire you are taking from the sprinkler solenoid to the common wire from each? For example, should I use the wire closest to the "off" word for each of the sprinkler solenoids and then have those wires going to the common, or does it not really matter which wire is running to the common and which is running to a color wire?
There is no polarity for the solenoid wires, either one can go to the colored wire. As a rule I always use the left wire to go to common and the right wire to go to the colored wire. Just a habit, but it doesn’t matter. Hope that helps, don’t forget to Subscribe to our Channel it really helps us grow.
@@garyssprinklerrepair You got it! Thanks for the quick reply. Time to go cleanup the mess of wires and start fresh.
@@lylehutz 😁
@@garyssprinklerrepair So much better. Disconnecting all the excess wires and starting from scratch made that way less intimidating. Now to fix the leak coming from my new valve install and the 3/4 in coupling I had screwed in.
Thanks a lot !!!!
How do I fix without changing the whole valve
Turn the water off, go by another valve. Home Depot and Lowes sell “Lawn Genie” it’s the same valve as Irritrol. Take the top off the new valve remove the spring and diaphragm, swap them with the old parts. Put the top back on, slowly turn the water back on. Hope that helps, be sure to Subscribe to our Channel for more great tips.
Gary, I have an outdoor 600 sst. I need to reset it and start from scratch. I followed the directions in Manual, but it will not reset. Can you advise?
@@720johnspe you might try unplugging it for a few minutes, then try again. Btw why are you trying to reset it?
I heard you can set all zones to start at the same time and then it will water each zone sequentially
Yes, on the newer one you’re right. On the older version it clearly stated each zone needs to have a start time that follows the start time and added run time that came before it. So as to not overlap. Guess more than a few struggled with the concept hence the updated version.
@@garyssprinklerrepair oh I see must have gotten the new one
Thanks Gary! That was very helpful.
Thank you this was a very helpful video !
Thank you, don’t forget to Subscribe to my Channel for more great content.👍
i have an abnormal issue with my rainbird valve and hoping it's something easy instead of having to replace the entire valve i open the valve solenoid lever manually, no water i loosen the blowoff valve, water spits out until retightened i loosen the solenoid a lot (unscrewing it), water leaks until retightened pressure valve is almost fully loosened but sprinkler still doesn't turn on could there be a clog or just the valve itself is bad?
@@rawrtravisrawr if you remove the top of the valve. (Water off obviously) Then remove the diaphragm, you will notice the plastic yellow or white pieces are missing. Replace the diaphragm, reassemble, turn the water back on. Should be problem solved. Let me know if you need more help, and don’t forget to Subscribe to our Channel it helps us out too.✌️
@@garyssprinklerrepair thank you! tried taking it off and putting back on with no luck but just ordered a new piece so i'll get that replaced :) thank you! hopefully thats the fix haha
@@garyssprinklerrepair hey so just replaced the diaphram and the solenoid and still no luck on that sprinkler head :\ any other ideas or should i just replace the entire valve?
@@rawrtravisrawr typically we always replace the valve. The quick fix is to save time and usually does the trick for most homeowners fixes. Is your valve a Rainbird? Have you fixed or had someone else fix a broken lawn pvc pipe on that lawn?
@@garyssprinklerrepair yes its a rainbird :) but we had a sprinkler guy come out maybe about a year ago, not sure what exactly he did but ran us $200 so trying to fix it myself instead of another pricey visit, this valve in question does look newer then the others (new pvc fittings/glue and much cleaner then the other 2 near it) i wasn't home for it but the bill said he found and fixed a broken pipe in the area, unsure if it was part of this one i believe it stopped working recently as i just barely noticed the section of grass dieing in the past few weeks could it be another broken pipe underneath? i hear no water movement through the valve when i turn on the valve versus the other ones
Awesome video thank you so much. Is there a way to tell which color wire goes to which zone in the irrigation controller?
Not sure if I completely understand the question. If the valve wire colors are let’s say (left to right) red, orange, blue thy might be blue, red, orange on the timer. You could always change them on the timer to be red, orange, blue then you know they correspond to the order of the valves. Hope that helped
Hi, l have a bet with my grandson, he thinks the word “sprinkles” is the same as “sprinklers” please tell him he is wrong. Thank you
@@panchovilla7235 don’t worry my son and his friend thought they were geniuses when they were little. So, they were going to take a genius test online to prove it. I looked at them and said, spell genius? They said, hold on let me look that up. I told them they can skip the genius test. 😂 Sprinkler
@@garyssprinklerrepair Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Not only did you save me from having to cut off all my valves, you made some comments about debris in the system that helped me understand why my system needed some maintenance in the first place.
Thank you for posting this and giving such an easy to follow set of instructions! I was able to get my mom's system working again because of you!
Good video 😊

Turn the switch to current date time. Hour is flashing. Press the arrow button. It skips over both minutes and am/pm, and instead a calendar icon below the hour starts flashing. No amount of arrow pressing gets the minutes or am/pm to start flashing.
Time for a new timer
I was able to troubleshoot a wiring issue by watching your video. Thank you!
Ya not so intimidating, once you see how easy it is, right? Hey, don’t forget to Subscribe it really helps us too.
THANKS Gary! 👍 We have built-in water spigots by all yard shrubs/trees here in HOT Nevada and the home we bought has this old model. Your video helped me sort out the issues.

Hi there,since the power was shutdown,my system is not working.the lights is on but not running😏
Unplug the timer and plug a drill or blow dryer (ohm meter) into the outlet. That way you’ll know if you have actual power there. The battery will create a display but doesn’t have the power to run the zones. Hope that helps, be sure to take a minute to Subscribe to our Channel for more info.
I'm still having problems

Does one station run at a time? Or do all run at the same time?
One at a time….hope that helped. Don’t forget to Subscribe for more great tips.✌️
Thank you for this!!! Appreciate the detailed video explaining each.
Always a pleasure to help out. Be sure to Subscribe to our Channel for more great content.👊
It's great information....Thank you so much, sir!
I've got this controller and have 3 Stations set up. All of a sudden station 3 won't run. The other 2 run fine. The display and everything seems fine. I've tried it through Semi-Auto and Manual What would should I look for to see what might be wrong? Thanks!
Double check you’ve programmed a run time for zone 3 in the correct program. If that doesn’t work it’s either a wire issue or solenoid issue. Let me know if you need more help, don’t forget to Subscribe and tap notifications so you’ll know I answered you.
@garyssprinklerrepair I think it might have been a solenoid issue. I messed with the wires a bit and it started working. Thank you!
@@bbqjones cool, double check all the wire nuts are tight. Irritrol valves had an issue a few years ago with the wires shorting at the top of the solenoids. (Lawn Genie) homeowner version made by the same Co.
👍
Thank you so much for this video! After watching it it allowed me to figure out how to add back two stations on schedule A that i accidentally deleted/removed (they didnt have the A under them and i couldnt figure it out for life of me!
Glad it helped you get the zones back, hope you remember to Subscribe to our Channel it really helps us grow.😁
Thank you makes perfect sense
how do I run the "A" program twice daily, 10 hours apart?
@@allenhumphrey6970 turn the dial to start time, next push the right arrow it should show 2-A with no start time…add your desired start time using the up arrow and push enter. Return the dial to Auto…..done. Don’t forget to Subscribe to our Channel it helps us a lot.👍
For some reason my manual program cycle will not work? Pretty simple directions but I think my enter button (swoosh) is not working
Very possible, this is a pretty old timer. Are you remembering to turn the dial back to auto/ run position after doing the manual program?
@@garyssprinklerrepair yes
Possibly time for a newer controller. Try the Hunter x-2 I’m sure you’ll like it. Be sure to subscribe to our Channel. Btw I have a video of the X-2 there, if you want to take a look 1st.

Yes! I need to rewire a valve & guess whoo!!! My buddy gary
Slick !!! Thank you for the tips 😎

Does it automatically switch between a and b?
Yes it does, when it’s finished with the A program it will check to see if you’ve programmed anything in B program. Hope that helped, be sure to Subscribe to our Channel it really helps us grow.👊
Hello, this system came with my house, I ran the system manually by clicking random buttons and now it does not turn off even when I see the dial at the bottom to off. Would you be able to assist me with this problem.
You have a bad valve, hope that helps
Hello I have this system inside the house I purchased I was pressing buttons to figure out if this works. I turned on the sprinkler heads using this but now they never turn off. Would you be able to assist me? I turned the bottom middle switch to off but that seems to not work.
This really helped ty 🎉
