The three main components of every automatic sprinkler system are the controller, station control valves and sprinklers. The controller is the brain of the system, telling the control valves when and how long to supply water to the sprin- klers. The sprinklers direct and control the water applied to the lawn and plants. Each valve controls a specif[...]

A watering program requires three basic instructions to operate automatically: • What days to water –called watering days • When to water – called a program start time • How long to water – called station run time The following example illustrates how a typical watering program could be set for the sprinkler system shown on the previous[...]

This section covers in detail each of the three parts of a watering program – watering days, program start times and station run times. Selecting Watering Days The GreenKeeper 212 provides four options for schedul- ing watering days: Calendar, Interval, Odd or Even and Off. Calendar Schedule A Calendar schedule enables you to select specific days[...]

Selecting Program Start Times A program start time is the time of day you select to begin an automatic program watering cycle. It is important to remember that a program only requires one start time to operate automatically. When a program starts, each station assigned to a pro- gram will water in numerical order, one at a time for its set run time[...]

It is always helpful to plan your watering schedule on paper before beginning the programming steps. You will have a record of your watering schedule and station loca- tions which can be kept with your GreenKeeper 212 after it is installed. A watering schedule form is provided on page 12 for you to fill out. ◆ Guidelines For Watering There are se[...]

The GreenKeeper 212 utilizes a 9-volt battery to retain its watering program information in the event of a main power interruption. This battery backup feature also enables your controller to be fully programmed for operation right out of the box—before installation—in the comfort of your home. Simply attach the battery and begin the program- m[...]

See Figure 3 . 15-Second Run Delay The 15-second run delay feature is useful for[...]

15 The GreenKeeper 212 program memory can be reset to the permanent program values or cleared completely at any time without removing power.

Note : The GreenKeeper 212 controller is not weather resistant and must be installed indoors or in a pro- tected area. For outdoor installation, a weather-resistant outdoor cabi- net is available. Order model number GK212-CAB-01 for domestic controllers or GK212-CAB-02 for export controllers. 1. Select a location for the controller within 4' ([...]

1. Route the valve control wires between the valves and the controller. Note: Using 18 AWG (0.75mm 2 ) multi-wire sprinkler valve connection cable is recommended. This cable is insulated for direct burial and is color-coded to sim- plify installation. 2. Attach the white color-coded wire from the cable to one wire from each valve solenoid. (Either [...]

(Optional) CAUTION: To prevent controller damage, ensure the relay current draw does not exceed 0.35 Amps. Do not connect the controller directly to the pump starter. 1. Route a wire pair from the pump relay into the con- troller housing. 2. Connect one wire to the terminal labeled COM (12). Connect the remaining wire to the terminal labeled PUMP/M[...]

(Optional) The Toro Rain Switch is a remote rain sensor which can be connected directly to your GreenKeeper 212 to auto- matically interrupt watering during rain. A sensor bypass switch is provided which enables the Rain Switch operation to be turned On and Off. When the Rain Switch absorbs rain water it automatically signals the GreenKeeper 212 to[...]

The GreenKeeper 212 controller has three modes of operation: Automatic, Manual and Off. In the Automatic mode the controller tracks the time and day and oper- ates the automatic watering schedules. The Manual mode enables the watering programs to be started and controlled manually at any time. The Off mode shuts off all watering activity and preven[...]

Manual operation enables the automatic watering pro- grams or selected stations assigned to the program to be started manually. During operation, temporary changes can be made to increase or decrease the station run time, step through the station sequence and pause or stop watering using the “Watering Control Features” described on page 28. Upo[...]

Changes in season and temperature generally require a change in station run time to maintain a healthy land- scape and conserve water. The season adjust feature enables you to change the run time of all zones assigned to a program, simultaneously up or down, in 10% incre- ments – with just the press of a button. Adjustments can be reduced to 10% [...]

A 0.75 Amp fuse protects the controller from damage due to power surges and excessive current draw through the Station Modules. Before replacing the fuse, check for the probable cause, such as a shorted or improperly connect- ed control valve wire, then replace the fuse as follows: 1. Unplug the transformer from the wall receptacle. 2. Remove the l[...]
