Review: Easy to install and works perfectly - Our Old Orbit box had failed (buttons not responsive anymore) after 7 years, so I purchased this unit to replace it. I have no background in setting up irrigation systems but was able to install this one easily with the excellent instructions. It was a simple matter of removing and labeling (VERY important) the wires leading to the station valves, removing old unit, mounting new unit, and connecting the common white wire and the 4 station valve wires. The old unit used small Philips screws to insert and secure the wires, but this one has much easier push-tabs that require only a small flat-head screwdriver to open/close. I didn't even have to re-strip the wires - they went right in place. The programming process is extremely intuitive - set date/time, days of the week to water, start time, and duration for each station. I tested it and everything worked perfectly. The large dial and buttons make it quite easy. The unit itself is built like a tank with a large, keyed, heavy-duty box around the electronics, presumably to be weatherproof if installed outdoors. The box is much larger than my old one, but that was not a problem - it just required more wall space. The only part that was a little awkward was routing the wires into the box, because the hole is on the bottom right of the box and the connections are in the bottom center. I don't see why they couldn't have placed the hole directly underneath the connections to make it easier, but it wasn't that much of an issue. Longevity remains to be seen, but so far everything looks great.
Review: Very glad to have a large display and such Simplicity in programming and installation - I just got done replacing an old water controller for my sprinklers that was requiring a Transformer and a 9 volt battery that was always corroding and the plastic hinge pins were broken and every time I open the outer door the inner door fell out and I said hey it's time to get a new one and I want one it's easier to read and program I did my research for days and I didn't want to spend too much money on the Wi-Fi ones because I have 5 gigahertz not the lower 2.5 that they're running at so I had to go with the old school non-smart version and here we are at the best one that I think I found. I like the fact that this came with a plug because I have gfic circuit with a in use electrical cover to keep water out for that and that way if I ever need to replace it it's as simple as unplugging it and taking two screws out and then sliding the new unit on the same screw location and plugging it in the same way no more hardwire no more turning off electrical 110 volts. The wiring was super easy I made a a bundle with a knot on my sprinkler Zone wiring so that pulling is strain relieved through a knot inside the enclosure and not just a loose pull from the wire to the actual terminal input. Speaking of terminal inputs this one has ones where you can push a screwdriver on the top and teeter totter and open and push the wire in or you can kind of fingernail out from the underside and lift it up and push the wire in like you know the back of audio speakers I tend my stranded wiring to create a nice solid one piece input connection without fraying wires and if you're an electrician I use the Western Union splice on all my connections from calm to create one wire in a straight line soldered with a heat shrink tubing over the Junctions. Instalation was easy and programming was even easier. I looked at all the button options on this and intuitively started with the rotating button like you get on a thread on hose water timer and I kept hitting the triangle enter button in between the up and down choices on in that same right side of that rotating button there's those rubber buttons to the side I did not touch any of the buttons on the left nor any of the program button options just stay on program a setup time and date and the watering time and the zones and and voila we had it. The box also has a simplistic key lock so it doesn't get opened by someone without a tool or that special key you get two keys. Another difference in the newer models are it takes a coin battery the back keep the programming versus the 9 volt battery much better much safer because 9 volts turn into an explosion mess... every time. And it's nice to have something that matches my color of my house which is gray and not some gross looking cream straight up white. So I've never used one I am considering picking up a rain sensor cuz it has input for that so it can Auto delay when it's wet because there have been times when you're watching it rain and then your sprinklers kick on and you just think wow that's not good. Lol And from what I can see I will get the same model again in the future if this whenever it stopped working and it wasn't its fault. Meaning if it lives a reliable life I'll get another one. Also I'm only using three of the zones out of the four for my sprinklers and I'm considering looking into a option to hook up something that can go to a water tap for the 4th and become just the garden sprinklers and not be part of the main abs framework. But this is as good as it gets for a water controller timer without Smart App features. And I made one day in the future get into smart watering units when they get to 5 GHz catch up to the infrastructure that's in place

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there any irragation timers for the home that will water for only 30 seconds?**
A: This timer will water for 30 seconds by using the budget option

**Q: How accurate is the clock?  I will be fined for watering outside of hours if clock is not accurate and I will be not be at the location to adjust it.**
A: There is one peculiarity about this clock, noted by several reviewers and "R W" above as a problem which, apparently, they did not fully understand. These reviewers say these units do not keep good time, losing minutes over the course of just a few days. In fact, one reviewer returned a clock for this reason and then complained that the replacement was just as poor a time keeper. I thought this at first, myself, until I did some investigation and ran some tests on my unit.  In fact, the clock keeps excellent time, at least my unit does. However, when you turn the programming wheel through the "Set Time" setting, which you may well do to reach any of the other setting positions, the clock resets to the current time, with the seconds rounded to zero. So, if you are setting other things in the clock, and you spin the programming wheel counter clockwise (from the Auto position, where it most likely lives most of the time, through the Set Time position) to get to what you want, you will be effectively setting the clock back 0 - 59 seconds each time. This can very quickly make it appear that the unit is losing time, especially when the unit is new and you are programming and reprogramming it frequently. So, just spin the programming wheel in the direction to avoid going through the Set Time position, presumably clockwise from the Auto position to the setting you want and in the reverse direction to get back to Auto when you are done, to avoid this problem.

**Q: Is the wiring the same as my old water master sprinkler system,that go to my 3 rain bird valves? thanks**
A: I had a water master hook up for 4 rain bird sprinkler.I unhooked from the water master system and hooked right to my orbit 4 station.Programmed and not a smidgen of trouble. I water even days and not on the 31st or the 1st..Good luck

**Q: I have 2 water stations.(2 wires from each station.)1 wire from each goes to 1&2 stations correct? and does the second wires goes to common?**
A: 1 wire. to each station  and the common wire to common terminal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great timer for the money -- east set up and simple operation
*by R***. on February 4, 2013*

I took a chance and I bought this irrigation timer from Amazon to fix a timer issue that I had with my irrigation system. I sought advice from Chuck on the Orbit Support team as to whether this Orbit 4 station timer model 57894-20 can replace a faulty mechanical Intermatic timer on my existing single indexing valve, 3 zone lawn sprinkler system and the logic to use when setting it up. I emailed their support and received a reply in 1 day -- I also called with a follow[on question and Chuck picked up the phone on the 2nd ring! He was very informative and willing to help get me going! Great customer service experience!. It's programming is simple yet effective and does all that I need a 4 zone timer to do (In my case I actually only needed to set up 3 zones --> hint: you just don't set up the 4th zone and the timer skips it). Pro: - Seems well made and of good quality - easy set up - the panel swings out of the way to access the wiring - Plug n go -- I ran a 2 conductor, 18 Gauge thermostat wire through the cinderblock and mounted the unit in the garage away from the elements and simply plugged it into a 110V outlet (you could also wire it for ourdoor use if so desired) - operation - helpful and timely customer support - Fair price for what you get Con: - A slight negative is that you have to hold down the up or down arrow to get to the start time that you want (the clock time change starts slow and while it does speed up, it still takes a while to get from the default 12pm to the start time you want. If you set the start time for 4 zones your finger will get tired -- luckily you only have to do this process when initially setting up the timer. Not a show stopper but an area for improvement. - Uses a CR2032 battery to hold memory -- would be nice if there was circuity built in to remember the time in a power outage scenario - You get a fold out paper with quick start info -- good enough for most straight forward installs, but there was not a lot for one off kinds of situations like mine -- The manual is online in .pdf format but again, did not answer my unique question. If it helps others, here are my existing components, irrigation system operation (from a non technical layman's perspective :-} and question to Orbit: Single Hydrotex 4000 Indexing Valve (covers 4 pipes) What looks like an Irritrol 205 Series Valve with flow control knob (shows " richdel " on the valve relay, but label is worn away) Original intermatic mechanical timer model T8845PV 24 hr, 1r day skipper and transformer with bad timer unit (sprinkler system works when timer is operated manually) but wanting to replace with an Orbit 4 station timer model 57894-20 rC upc 046878578944 that i purchased Operation: Using the mechanical timer - fully operational if manually turned on and off - Timer is bad * when the mechanical timer switches on, the relay triggers the valve to open and the flow of water rushes into the 4 chamber Hydrotex 4000 Indexing Valve, flowing through an opening in the round rubber washer and the water flows to that zone. * When the timer turns off, the valve blocks the flow of water and the water drains out of the Hydrotex 4000 Indexing Valve. * When the timer switches back on the rush of water seems to pop a springed plunger in the Hydrotex 4000 Indexing Valve and the rubber stopper ratchets over and positions the hole over the next pipe zone. * When the timer turns off the water drains out and the cycle continues on the third and fourth pipe (zone) My question was: Can you wire this Orbit timer to control a single relay/valve that controls the Hydrotex 4000 Indexing Valve? If yes, how is it wired? The answer was simple and worked flawlessly: TechSupport@orbitonline.com "Our timer can be used with your indexing valve. You connect one wire from your valve to "common" and the other wire to "sta 1". You only put minutes on (aka program) station 1 of our timer. You use 4 start times with at least one minute between the time one turns off and the other one starts. If you need further help, please call us at 1-800-488-6156, option 1 then option 4 (7am-5pm MDT/Mon-Fri). Thank you, Chuck Technical Support Orbit Irrigation Products, Inc."
