8071 Programmer Plus and 8081 Radio Programmer Plus Operating Instructions

Application and Features

The Nelson 8071 Programmer Plus and 8081 Radio Programmer Plus consoles are

used to program 8030 Series Remote Programmable Actuators or 8050 Series PG

Multi-Station Actuators. The programming is accomplished through a secured,

waterproof, telephone plug. A cord is provided with the Programmer to attach to the

actuator. The Programmer can program up to 16 watering schedules per day with

watering times from 1 minute to 24 hours in one-minute increments. Each independent

schedule has a start time, a finish time, a 14-day watering calendar and valve

assignment (PG Multi-Station Actuators only). There is also a timed manual operation

from 1 to 99 minutes. The Programmer Plus console can program an interruption of

starts (rain mode), which interrupts all watering schedules without disturbing the

original program.

Additional 8081 Radio Programmer Plus Features

The 8081 Radio Programmer Plus console communicates via radio link with 8050

Series PG Multi-Station Actuators equipped with a model 8060 Radio Adapter. With

the radio link, all programming features may be utilized. The Programmer must be

within 6 feet (2 meters) of the actuator unit, if the actuator is in a standard plastic valve

box. If the actuator is above ground and in line of sight to the Programmer, the units

must be within 60 feet (1 8 meters) for proper operation.

Operation

To turn the Programmer on, press "+". To turn the programmer off, return to the

opening screen and press "-". The Programmer will automatically turn off after five
