About

The battery operated sprinkler timer with valve is great for repairing or retrofitting an existing sprinkler system, or installing new systems in areas where no power exists, such as fields or pastures. One set of standard batteries provides up to a year of automatic operation, and has a low battery sensor to warn when fresh batteries are required. The timer offers two programs (A and B) for multiple setting options. Installation is simple, and programming is straightforward and easy to understand. Compatible with a rain sensor to create a rain delay in programming.

Product Features

Without energy? No wiring? No problem!

For most of our customers, the sprinkler setup is pretty normal. But some find themselves in unique situations where traditional irrigation timers don't work without a lot of added expense and hassle. Thus the Orbit Battery Timer was born. This unique timer addresses the issues of distance or wiring restrictions while remaining a fully functional, two-program, four-station timer. This timer carries some unique attributes that set it apart. You can unplug the timer from the valve, so you can program it from anywhere, then just simply plug it back into the valve, and you're good to go.

Easy setup and programming

The Orbit Battery Operated Sprinkler Timer brings all the programming features of Orbit's traditional line of timers. Nothing is left out. The timer contains two programs (A and B) for one to four stations. Each station includes up to four start times per day, for a total of eight start times, and can run between 1 and 240 minutes. Programming frequencies can be days per week (Mon-Sun), Od/Even, or interval (between 1-30 days). There's also a rain delay and water budget feature, allowing you to easily adjust your watering needs as the weather and seasons change. Your timer is also compatible with rain sensors, for optimal and efficient irrigation only when it is really needed. The LCD display is easy to read, continuing Orbit's tradition of providing timers that are easy to set and use.

A unique timer for unique needs

Timer box in a large field? As the name suggests, this valve is fully functional off-grid DC battery operated. So if you have a sprinkler box without a power outlet nearby, this is the perfect timer. Three AA batteries (1.5V) are all that is needed (batteries not included).

Perfect for small spaces
Battery operation means it's also portable and easy to place. The small footprint allows the timer to be placed inside the valve box with the optional solenoid mounting clip (included). The timer portion detaches from the base for easy programming or storage and snaps back on when ready to use. Each of the valve connections, as well as the timer itself, are sealed by an airtight O-ring. Don't worry about water washing in and destroying sensitive electronics.
