Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4 Station Details

The Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4 Station timer is designed for straightforward and efficient irrigation management, featuring Orbit’s exclusive Easy-Set Logic™. This system simplifies programming and setup, combining advanced technology with user-friendly controls. It offers exceptional versatility, enabling users to run fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual watering programs to suit a variety of landscaping needs.

The timer's interface includes a prominent dial and a clear digital display for easy navigation. Key dial positions allow setting the date/clock, start times, run times, and watering frequency. Dedicated buttons provide quick access to functions such as confirming settings (ENTER), manual watering (MANUAL), clearing entries (CLEAR), switching between programs (PROGRAM), adjusting values (+/–), and activating a rain delay.

Installation is designed to be convenient, requiring only a Phillips screwdriver and wire strippers. Users should select a location near an electrical outlet, ensuring the operating temperature remains between 32° and 158° Fahrenheit. The timer mounts easily to a wall using an included template and screws, utilizing a keyhole slot and additional pre-formed holes for secure attachment.

Wiring the timer involves connecting one wire from each valve to a common wire (typically white), then attaching the remaining valve wires to separate colored sprinkler wires. The common wire connects to the "COM" terminal on the timer, with individual station wires going to numbered terminals. It is crucial to connect only one valve per terminal to prevent electrical hazards and potential damage.

Power is supplied via an included transformer plugged into a 120V electrical outlet. A pre-installed CR2032 Lithium battery acts as a backup, preserving programmed settings during power outages. It's important to remember that this battery alone cannot operate the sprinkler valves; the timer requires AC power for full functionality, and annual battery replacement is recommended.

The timer supports two independent programs (A and B), offering flexibility for diverse watering requirements, such as drip zones, newly seeded lawns, or different sprinkler types. This allows for grouping stations with similar water needs, optimizing irrigation efficiency. Users can set up to four start times per program, with a "start-time stacking" feature delaying subsequent start times if a previous program is still running.

Watering frequency can be customized by selecting specific days of the week, setting an interval (e.g., every 3rd day), or choosing odd or even calendar days. These options provide precise control over when irrigation occurs. Once programming is complete, turning the dial to "AUTO" activates the schedule.

Beyond basic programming, the Orbit 57594 includes advanced features. The Rain Delay function allows users to pause watering for 24, 48, or 72 hours, which is useful after rainfall. Water Budgeting enables seasonal adjustments to watering durations for all stations in a program, with an adjustment range from 10% to 200% in 10% increments.

Manual watering can be initiated without disrupting the programmed schedule, allowing users to water all stations, a specific program, or even an individual station for a custom duration. The timer also supports connecting a rain sensor to automatically halt watering during precipitation, featuring a bypass switch for maintenance or when no sensor is installed. The Orbit B-hyve™ Lite app can provide programming recommendations, though the timer itself is not Wi-Fi enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4 Station, and we answer them below.

What is the purpose of Easy-Set Logic™ in this timer?

Easy-Set Logic™ is Orbit's exclusive programming system designed to make setup and operation simple and intuitive, combining advanced timer technology with user-friendly controls for flexible watering.

How many independent watering programs does the Orbit 57594 support?

The timer supports two independent programs, labeled A and B. These allow you to set different watering schedules for various areas, such as a lawn and a drip zone.

Can I water multiple times a day with this timer?

Yes, you can set up to four start times within each program (A or B) if you wish to water more than once per day. All stations with a programmed run time will activate sequentially at each start time.

What is 'Start-Time Stacking'?

Start-Time Stacking occurs when a new start time is scheduled before a previous program has finished. In such cases, the new program will be "stacked" or delayed, starting automatically once the preceding program has completed its cycle.

How do I set the frequency of watering days?

You can set the watering frequency using the 'HOW OFTEN' dial position. Options include specific days of the week (Mon, Tues, Wed, etc.), intervals (e.g., every 2nd day), or odd/even calendar days.

How does the Rain Delay feature work?

The Rain Delay feature allows you to pause your programmed watering for 24, 48, or 72 hours. While in delay mode, the display will alternate between the current time and the remaining delay hours. You can press the CLEAR button to stop the delay early.

What is Water Budgeting and how do I use it?

Water Budgeting is a feature that allows you to adjust the watering duration for all stations in a program by a percentage. This is useful for seasonal adjustments without reprogramming individual stations. You can adjust it from 10% to 200% in 10% increments by turning the dial to 'BUDGET'.

Can I manually water a specific station for a custom duration?

Yes, turn the dial to AUTO, press the MANUAL button, then use the arrow buttons to select the desired station. Use the +/– buttons to set a duration from 1 to 240 minutes. The station will begin watering after a few seconds.

What type of battery does the timer use, and what is its purpose?

The timer uses one CR2032 Lithium battery. Its purpose is to retain your programming in memory during an AC power loss. The battery alone will not operate the valves of your sprinkler system.

My timer is not powering up. What should I check?

Ensure the transformer is securely plugged into a working 120V electrical outlet. The timer requires AC power to operate, and the backup battery only retains programming, not powers the unit or valves.

One or more of my valves are not turning on. What could be the problem?

This could be due to a faulty solenoid connection, a damaged or severed wire, a flow control stem on the valve being screwed down, or incorrect programming of the station's run time or start time.

How do I connect a rain sensor to the timer?

Connect the rain sensor wires to the yellow "Sensor" terminal ports on the timer. Refer to your specific rain sensor manual for detailed wiring instructions. Remember to place the sensor's on/off switch to the "on" position for operation.

Is the Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4 Station timer Wi-Fi enabled?

No, the Orbit 57594 Easy Dial 4 Station timer is not Wi-Fi enabled. While the B-hyve™ Lite app can offer programming recommendations, these must be manually entered into the timer.
