Sprinkler System BasicsThe three main components of every automatic sprinklersystem are the controller, station control valves andsprinklers.The controller is the brain of the system, telling the controlvalves when and how long to supply water to the sprinklers. The sprinklers direct and control the water applied tothe lawn and plants.Each valve controls a specific group of sprinklers calleda watering station. The stations are generally laid outand installed according to the type of plant material to bewatered, the location of the plant within the landscapeand the maximum amount of water which can be supplied. Each valve is connected to a numbered terminalwithin the controller, identifying it as Station 1, Station 2,etc.The controller operates the valves in order, one at atime. In other words, one station would water completelybefore another station would turn on. This is called awatering cycle. The information stored in the controllermemory which determines when and how long the stations will water is called a program.The next section of this guide is very important. It explainswhat a program is and how the GreenKeeper 212 controlsthe operation of the sprinkler system.Valve 1ControllerONPROGRAMSMANUALSTARTNEXTA B COFFValve 2RValve 3HouseValve 4Valve 5Valve 1 - Station 1 - Parkway Lawn - Fixed SprayValve 2 - Station 2 - Front Lawn - Fixed SprayValve 3 - Station 3 - Front Shrubs - Flood BubblerValve 4 - Station 4 - Back Lawn - Geared RotorValve 5 - Station 5 - Garden - Drip6
Watering Program BasicsA watering program requires three basic instructions tooperate automatically: What days to water –called watering days When to water – called a program start time How long to water – called station run timeWatering Program DiagramProgramStarts - 5:00 AMStation 1126The following example illustrates how a typical wateringprogram could be set for the sprinkler system shown onthe previous page.Example: The program start time is set for 5:00 AM. Lawnstations 1 and 2 each have a run time of 10 minutes andlawn station 4 is set to run for 20 minutes. Note that stations 3 and 5 water shrubs and flowers and have beenexcluded from this program. (These stations will be setto operate on separate programs).As shown in the watering program diagram, at 5:00 AMthe controller starts the program watering cycle. Station1 sprinklers run for 10 minutes and shut off. Station 2sprinklers turn on, run for 10 minutes and shut off. Thecontroller skips station 3 and turns on station 4, whichruns for 20 minutes and shuts off. Station 5 is skippedand the watering cycle ends at 5:40 AM.As you can see from this example, only one programstart time was needed to operate three different stations.Because of variations in plant watering needs, theGreenKeeper 212 provides three separate programs.The programs, called A, B and C, are completely independent of one another – like having three timers in onehousing.391239Station 261239Station 46ProgramEnds- 5:40 AMUsing more than one program for example, would enablelawn zones to be watered every day on program A,shrub zones to run on on Monday, Wednesday and Friday on program B and drip irrigation to soak the flowerbeds every three days on program C.Although the GreenKeeper 212 offers the multiple program feature, you may want to have all zones on oneprogram if it meets your needs. The other programs canremain turned off until you need to use them.7
Watering Program DetailsThis section covers in detail each of the three parts of awatering program – watering days, program start timesand station run times.Selecting Watering DaysThe GreenKeeper 212 provides four options for scheduling watering days: Calendar, Interval, Odd or Even andOff.Calendar ScheduleA Calendar schedule enables you to select specific daysof the week to water, for example, Monday, Wednesdayand Friday. This is a seven-day schedule which starts onSunday and ends on Saturday.This illustration shows how a Calendar schedule wouldbe displayed when the control dial is in theWATERING DAYSposition.In this example, program Ahas watering days set for MO(Monday), WE (Wednesday)and FR (Friday).This illustration shows howan Interval schedule wouldbe displayed. In this example, program B has a 3-dayInterval schedule which willstart on Monday.PGM A B C12345678SU MO TU WE TH FR SAOdd/Even ScheduleThe Odd/Even schedule enables you to select odd evennumbered days of the month as watering days.This illustration shows howan Odd day schedulewould be displayed.PGM AProgram OffPGM ASU MO TU WE TH FR SAInterval Schedule8you can choose which day of the week will be the first dayof the Interval. The number of days in the Interval determines the available start days. For example, if you haveselected a 3-day Interval and today is Sunday, you maychoose to start the Interval today, Monday or Tuesday.An Interval schedule enables you to set watering dayswithout regard to the actual days of the week. For example, if you want to water every third day, you wouldselect a 3-day Interval. Interval schedules range from1-day (watering every day) to 7-day (watering every seventh day). Once you have selected an Interval schedule,Selecting OFF suspends the operation of the programwhen it is not needed. Turning the program off does notalter or erase the watering day schedule of the program,it simply places the program on hold until it is needed.This illustration shows how aprogram would be displayedif its watering day scheduleis turned off. In this example, program C is off.
Selecting Program Start TimesSetting The Station Run TimeA program start time is the time of day you select tobegin an automatic program watering cycle.It is important to remember that a program onlyrequires one start time to operate automatically.When a program starts, each station assigned to a program will water in numerical order, one at a time for itsset run time.A station run time is the length of time the station (controlled by the valve) will water during the program watering cycle. The run time for each station can be set fromOff (no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments.Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering programmore than one time per day. For example, when growinga new lawn. The GreenKeeper 212 enables each program to have up to four separate start times per day.Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. Thesenumbers are shown at the top left of the display next tothe start time symbolwhen the control dial is in thePROGRAM START TIMEposition and indicate howmany start times are currently set for the program.This illustration shows howa program start time isdisplayed. In this example,program A has one starttime (start time number 1)set for 5:00 AM.A station is assigned to a program when it is given a runtime. If the run time for a station is turned Off in a program, it will not operate during the program wateringcycle. This is how the GreenKeeper 212 enables you toassign stations to different programs.All stations assigned to the program are shown on thelower portion of the display when the control dial is in theSTATION TIMESposition.This illustration shows howa station run time is displayed for a program. In thisexample, zones 1–6 areassigned to program A.Station 1 has a 10-minuterun time and station 2 is setto run for 25 minutes.The station run time beingdisplayed is identified by theflashing station number.FlashingFlashing9
Planning Your Watering ScheduleIt is always helpful to plan your watering schedule onpaper before beginning the programming steps. You willhave a record of your watering schedule and station locations which can be kept with your GreenKeeper 212 afterit is installed. A watering schedule form is provided onpage 12 for you to fill out. Guidelines For WateringThere are several factors to be considered when deciding when and how long to water. For example, the soiltype (i.e., clay, loam, etc.), the part of the landscapebeing watered, climate conditions and the type of sprinklers being used. Because of these variables, we cannotprovide an exact schedule to follow, but here are somegeneral watering guidelines to help you get started. Water early in the morning, one to two hours beforesunrise. You will have the best water pressure at thistime and the water can soak into the plant root zonewhile evaporation is minimal. Watering during mid-dayor in the evening may cause plant damage or mildew. Watch for signs of under- or over-watering and makeprogram adjustments immediately.Filling Out The Watering Schedule FormWhen filling out this form, use a pencil so changes can beeasily made. Carefully remove the page from the bookletto use as a guide during programming. After installing thecontroller, fold the form in half and store it in the pocketbehind the controller.Refer to the example form shown on the opposite pageand fill out your form in a similar manner with the following information: Location - Identify the location of each watering station and the type of plant being watered.Note: Enter the following information for each program. If the program is not needed, leave its information column blank. Watering Day Schedule - For a Calendar schedule,indicate which day(s) of the week watering is desired.For an Interval schedule indicate the desired Intervalnumber. For Odd or Even days, simply mark theappropriate box. Station Run Time - Indicate the amount of run time(1 minute to 4 hours) for each station. Write “Off” forany station which you do not want to operate in theprogram. Program Start Times - Indicate the time of day tostart the program. Each program can have 1 to 4 starttimes per watering day.10

Programming Before InstallationThe GreenKeeper 212 utilizes a 9-volt battery to retain itswatering program information in the event of a main powerinterruption. This battery backup feature also enablesyour controller to be fully programmed for operation rightout of the box—before installation—in the comfort of yourhome. Simply attach the battery and begin the programming steps. The program information will be retained forthe duration of the battery life – about 72 hours for anAlkaline battery or 24 hours for a rechargeable NickelMetal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery.Installing The BatteryNote: The 9-volt battery does not supply enough voltageto operate the station control valves. Power from thetransformer must be supplied.1. Slide the lower housingFigure 1cover toward the bottomof the controller toremove. Locate the battery wire clip and attach itto the battery terminals.Place the battery into thecabinet compartment asshown in Figure 1.2. The display will begin flashing 12:00 AM. Press the /ON button to stop the display from flashing. Thecolon (:) will continuously flash while displaying thetime and during watering operation. The Power Offsymbolwill be displayed until the main power supply is connected.3. Locate the battery chargerFigure 2switch (9) as indicated inFigure 2. If an Alkaline battery is installed, the switchmust be set to the left position to turn the chargingcircuit off. If a rechargeable9Ni-MH battery is used, theswitch must be set to theright position to turn thecharging circuit on.BATTERYCaution: The battery charger switch must be setcorrectly. Damage to the controller can resultfrom an Alkaline battery which may fail ifcharged.4. Reinstall the lower housing cover.Warning: Always replace battery with the sameor equivalent type. Dispose of used batteriesaccording to the battery manufacturer’s recommendations.13
