DIG - 710AP Battery Operated Propagation Controller (Controller Only) - 710AP-000

DIG 710AP Battery Operated Propagation Controller - Includes a DC Latching Solenoid with 4 Valve Adapters (Hunter, Rain Bird, Toro, Bermad) The 710AP is a battery operated controller with a two-wire DC latching solenoid and 4 valve adapters, designed for propagation, misting and irrigation cycles. The 710AP provides advanced programming capabilities for all types of commercial, greenhouse and nursery applications, and features logical, revolving menus for simplified programming and review. The controller is fully waterproof and powered by two AA alkaline batteries that can last for up to three years. The 710AP includes a seven-button keypad, a large, easy-to-read LCD display, intuitive icon-based programming with five start times per day in weekly or cyclical mode, manual run, monthly budgeting, and "rain off" with restart of up to 99 days. The controller also features a propagation mode including cyclical frequencies from 1 minute to 59 minutes or from 1 to 12 hours, and durations in seconds for loop watering with selectable start and stop times. Features Powered by two AA alkaline batteries with a safe period of 60 seconds to replace without losing power. Watering flexibility with a selection of watering frequencies including weekly, odd, even, or cyclical between 1 and 30 days, 1 to 12 hours or 1 to 59 minutes. Duration can be set in seconds, minutes or hours. Interval watering in which a cycle is continuously repeated for a desired period every set interval between a start and stop time. Cycles can be repeated daily or be left running indefinitely. Low battery indicator Display indicates if irrigation is set to water for the day and if any of the additional programming features are active Seven buttons with integrated high resolution screen. Simple, icon-based intuitive programming and EasyFlow™ navigation. After 15 minutes the controller screen turns off automatically to conserve energy. Semi-automatic and manual operation with timed countdown for shutoff. System On/Off button allows the user to turn off the controller’s programming and reactivate it as desired as well as to quickly activate or deactivate a propagation program outside of its set start and stop times when used in propagation mode. Propagation mode features error catching so that programming mistakes cannot be entered and will automatically update to an allowable entry (run time greater than interval or interval less than run time). Retractable coiled cord to the solenoid. Brackets for solenoid and wall mounting options are included. Utilizes RoHS compliant components. Reset option allows erasing of all programs to default settings except date and time. Non-volatile memory holds programs indefinitely without batteries except date and time. Completely waterproof (IP68). Rain sensor connection included. Can be mounted on a range of solenoid valves. Captured solenoid plunger and spring for easy maintenance. Easily retrofits to most manufacturers’ valves with one of DIG’s seven adapters. Three-year warranty. Programming Options This controller features two programming modes, one for normal irrigation and one  for propagation. The propagation mode is programmed in a slightly different manner  and is given its own section in this instruction manual. To switch between the  modes, simply change the watering frequency; propagation mode operates when a  by-hour or by-minute frequency is chosen and normal irrigation operates when any  other frequency is chosen. Propagation Mode This option is used to program the controller to operate the system in a cyclical  (propagation mode) manner from once every 1 minute up to every 12 hours. Example: If a 5 minute watering frequency is selected, the controller will water  for the selected run time every 5 minutes from the entered start time until the  entered stop time every day until canceled by changing the program or turning off  irrigation.  Normal Irrigation Mode Custom programming schedules with a weekly calendar, odd days, even days, intervals from one to thirty (1-30) days or 1 to 12 hours utilizing yearly calendar with leap year Five start times per day in normal programming and one start time per day in intervals of 1 to 12 hours Durations up to 5 hours and 59 minutes in one-minute increments 20 preset historical ET programs available for 10 climate zones, with 10 for drip irrigation and 10 for spray heads, to use with any irrigation setup and including the option to review the new calculated duration Monthly seasonal adjustment through the seasons with option to reduce the program duration setting to 0 or to increase it up to 200% in 5% increments without modifying the controller's program duration; also can be used to fine-tune the preset ET program for each month Irrigation suspension for up to 99 days with auto-restart; resumes irrigation automatically Program Off button allows the user to turn off the controller and reactivate it as desired Manual On/Off button with semi-automatic feature utilizing the program runtime and shows the time left to run with quick override Daily and monthly programming restriction feature allows controller to bypass irrigation schedules.
