Orbit 57596 6-station Indoor Sprinkler Timer 24V

Product Description

The ORBIT 57596 is a 6-station indoor sprinkler timer designed for residential irrigation control with 24-volt sprinkler systems. It runs on two independent dual watering programs - day-of-week and watering interval - with up to 8 start times per valve and station run times adjustable from 1 to 99 minutes. A built-in calendar tracks even/odd days and leap years automatically. Programming is handled through Easy-Set Logic with a large LCD dial, making setup straightforward for irrigation technicians and knowledgeable DIYers alike. A one-touch rain delay and auto-reset circuit breaker are included. The unit plugs in and backs up programming with two AA batteries.

This timer is intended for indoor installation controlling outdoor 24-volt irrigation zones. It suits residential properties where flexible scheduling across multiple zones is required. Typical applications include lawn and landscape drip or spray systems where independent program control per station improves water management. The timer is rated for cold water use only and is not intended for hot water or potable water supply lines.
