Thank you Orbit, you have made water utter maddness. Simplify your timer, the old model worked just fine! I am not very satisfied. If I could return it - I would.

Note the disclaimer, obit knows they have complicated this program beyond reason.
Really kiss

Where can I get a printed copy of the instructions?

[DavidDumler]

The instructions in the box had no indication on using the + and - keys to remove stations from each start time. Without this video I would have been completely lost. I'm a handy guy but could NOT figure that out without this video.

This is the absolute hardest thing to program, I have ever encountered. I "think" I have it right and by no means want to do a test, because it will screw up my settings. I have moved this timer three times this year and each time I have to watch several tutorials for at least an 20 mins each to get it to where I think I have it right. This has to be easier! Seriously. It works well, when it works (have three single outlet) but this double is really not worth the frustration. My time is worth more than what I am wasting on making this thing program correctly. Bad instructions written inside package and one bad Orbit video. Also two other videos by a video help guy and he is just confusing as Orbit videos.

If you have successfully programmed a station it will have a square around it. When the station is blinking it means you have selected it to program a time. Orbit could have done a better job in the instructions on how to program the different stations with different times.

I'm feeling much better now I've read all of these stories of woe and frustration. I thought I was going mad.. Retrieved old and simpler ones with no multi-times option and so far working fine. Still gives twice a day with "Every 12 hours". I think my error here having gone over video, is that there is only a total of 3 start times altogether between both stations and not as I previously thought, 3 start times each zone.

It is 2021 and we still have 1900’s timers.

Why do I keep getting two different times on the screen of my orbit timer eg 24-39 3:49which cones up after the actual normal tine of day

[jdtex]

Just hooked it up to run zone 1 at 5p for 25 minutes on program A, then zone 2 at 5:30p for 25 min on program B. 5p came and BOTH zones 1 and 2 opened up at the SAME TIME. The water pressure split between two hoses at the same time won't drive enough pressure to water both zones! The comments below from Orbit says that can't happen....but it did! Orbit - do I return the unit? My single zone Orbit on the other side of the house works perfectly. I think I am going to replace my two outlet timer with a split manifold and TWO SEPARATE ORBIT SINGLE ZONE controllers! Help!

Can you set different days for each station or is it just different times for each station, but same days? This part is confusing me.

[gaynorfoster]

this has got to be the most difficult timer I have ever used.

[spybond]

These comments make me feel better. I was trying to test manual, but could only get “all “ station option and not able to choose an individual station, now I know why.

[doughboy]

Hi bought one of these used. I only need 1 hookup. Is there supposed to be a cap for the second port?

[bmack]

I had to get an L shaped device to connect to the faucet. I forgot what direction to turn the timer on. Hate I got this timer

[tburman]

can you have one of the 2 outlets water different days of the week?

[andrewsherville]

Can I have different timings for the two different outlets? Does a station relate to an outlet - so is outlet 1, station 1 on the timer? Thanks

[TimothyRobertssaxophone]

I feel like I need an engineering degree to use this. I’m lost at about :30.

Great video until it gets to "how often", then clear as mud.

[anhchi]

the video would be very helpful, if you show us the indication of the keys: + / -, arrow, the blink, the A, B, C and how to change from station 1 to station 2 .
after several unsuccessful attempts, I brought it to Home Depot, not any employee can help by reading the instruction, only a young guy from college opened this clip in his i pad, but he gave up because no clear instruction to time for station #2.
please help !!!!
