Instruções de operação
The Raindrip R675CT features three easy-to-use control dials for programming your watering schedule.

1. Set Watering Frequency (How Often Dial)
Turn the 'How Often' dial to select the desired interval between watering cycles. Options range from 1 hour to 1 week (72 hours). The timer will initiate the first watering cycle immediately after setting this dial.
2. Set Run Time (How Long Dial)
Turn the 'How Long' dial to specify the duration of each watering cycle. Options range from 3 minutes to 120 minutes. Set to 'OFF' to disable automatic watering.
3. Manual Watering / Rain Delay (Manual Water/Rain Delay Dial)
- Manual Water: Turn this dial to a specific minute setting (e.g., 3, 5, 10, 15 minutes) to initiate a manual watering cycle without affecting your programmed schedule. The timer will water for the selected duration and then return to its programmed schedule.
- Atraso devido a chuva: Turn this dial to delay watering for a set period (24, 48, or 72 hours). This feature is useful during periods of rain to conserve water. The timer will resume its programmed schedule after the delay period ends.
Luz indicadora
An indicator light on the timer blinks to confirm that changes have been made to the settings, providing visual feedback for successful programming.
Manutenção
Substituição da bateria
The battery-operated timer signals when batteries are running low. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation. When batteries run out, the timer's unique water-saving feature will turn the valve to the “off” position, stopping the flow of water to prevent waste.

Limpeza
Periodically inspect the inlet screen filter for debris and clean it as needed to maintain optimal water flow and prevent clogging.
Solução de problemas
- Timer not watering: Check battery level and replace if low. Ensure the 'How Long' dial is not set to 'OFF'. Verify water supply is on.
- Watering inconsistently: Low batteries can cause erratic behavior. Replace batteries. Ensure dials are set firmly to desired positions.
- Leaks at connections: Ensure all connections to the faucet and irrigation system are tightened securely. Use plumber's tape on threads if necessary to create a better seal. Avoid cross-threading plastic components during installation.
- No indicator light: Verifique a instalação das baterias e certifique-se de que elas sejam novas.
