Compatible with major 24 VAC valves, this reliable system ensures efficient, customizable irrigation for a thriving landscape. ## Description Simple Dial Control for 4-Zone Sprinkler SystemsThe Easy Dial 4-station indoor irrigation controller (Model 28964) controls 24 VAC sprinkler and drip systems with up to six zones. This dial-operated controller uses physical dials and buttons instead of apps or wifi connections, making it straightforward to set watering schedules. The 300mA transformer powers one valve solenoid at a time. Engineered for installation in an indoor location that is not exposed to water. For outdoor installation, place it inside an Orbit 57095 outdoor cabinet with GFCI protection.Dual Programs with Flexible SchedulingProgram A and B allow you to set two unique watering schedules tailored to different types of zones in your yard. Each program has four different start times which lets you create cycle-and-soak windows that encourage water infiltration into the soil. The Easy Dial controller automatically "stacks" overlapping runtimes from different programs so that only one solenoid runs at any given time. The Budget dial (10-200%) adjusts all programmed runtimes proportionally without reprogramming each station.Manual Mode & Rain DelayManual run mode allows you to run one zone, select zones, or all zones sequentially for a specified length of time—very convenient for zone testing or supplemental watering. Rain Delay lets you skip watering zones for a configurable time when natural rainfall occurs. Includes a relay switch for adding an automatic rain and freeze sensor (sold separately). Note: This controller does not support pump start relay operation.Easy Installation & CompatibilityMount the controller on an indoor wall near a power outlet. Connect the common wire (typically white) to the C terminal and individual zone wires to numbered station terminals 1-6. Screw terminals hold 18-gauge irrigation wire securely. Compatible with 24 VAC valves from all major brands including Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro. If display shows "No AC," verify transformer is fully plugged into powered outlet. ## Features - Controls Up to 4 Zones: For 24 VAC sprinkler and drip systems; 300mA transformer powers one valve solenoid at a time - Indoor Installation: Designed for dry, covered locations like garages; use inside Orbit 57095 outdoor cabinet for weather-exposed areas - Dual Watering Programs: A and B slots create two independent schedules; each has four start times for cycle-and-soak patterns that reduce runoff - Simple Dial Operation: No wifi or apps needed; physical dials and buttons make programming straightforward; Budget dial adjusts all runtimes 10-200% - Automatic Zone Stacking: Runs one valve at a time even with overlapping schedules; includes manual run mode for testing zones and rain delay feature ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BYLTWJVC | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,002 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #13 in Automatic Irrigation Controllers | | Brand Name | Orbit | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,004) | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 2"D x 5.5"W x 6.75"H | | Item Type Name | Irrigation System Controller | | Item Weight | 1.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Orbit Irrigation Products, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 28964 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty. | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 28964 | | Number of settings | 4 | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | UPC | 046878289642 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Orbit - **Color:** Gray - **Item Weight:** 1.3 Pounds - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 2"D x 5.5"W x 6.75"H ## Images ![Orbit Easy Dial 4-Station Irrigation System Controller, Indoor, Grey, 28964 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IgOkXCQIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the controller rated for outside in the rain?** A: No the case is not water tight.

You only have about 5 seconds for each task or the system resets. If you want to manually run thru your whole cycle, then start by pushing the manual button, then the right arrow once for the A program or twice for the B program then push enter to start a whole cycle of 6 stations each which will run for the minutes you have already programmed them for.
