Orbit 62061N Electronic Sprinkler Timer 1 Zone

Product Description

The ORBIT 62061N is a single-zone electronic sprinkler timer designed for outdoor hose-bib and faucet irrigation control. Powered by two AA batteries, it requires no hardwired connection, making it a straightforward install for irrigation technicians and knowledgeable DIYers alike. A single rotary dial steps through all programming functions: set clock, set watering time, set frequency, set duration, and run program. The unit controls one outlet and includes a rain delay feature to suspend scheduled watering cycles and conserve water. A manual bypass lets the faucet run on demand without clearing or interrupting the stored program.

The 62061N is suited for residential outdoor irrigation applications where a single hose-bib or faucet connection feeds one watering zone. Typical installations include garden beds, lawn sections, drip systems, and soaker hose runs connected to a standard outdoor spigot. The battery-powered design makes it practical in locations without nearby electrical access. It is rated for outdoor use with cold water only and is not intended for hot-water lines or indoor plumbing. Up to five watering cycles can be programmed per day for flexible scheduling.

Installation Notes

Install by a qualified irrigation technician or per local plumbing code requirements. Thread the timer directly onto the outdoor faucet before attaching the irrigation line, and ensure the connection is hand-tightened with a proper thread seal to prevent leaks. Turn off the water supply at the faucet before installing or removing the unit. Do not use with hot water lines, and protect the unit from direct submersion or freezing conditions when not in seasonal use.
