DIG – 710A Battery Operated Controller w/ 3/4″ Valve – 710A-075

DIG 710A Battery Operated Controller (710A-075)
Includes a DIG 3/4 inch In-Line Valve
Valve Mounted Controller (DC) Battery Operated (Fixed)

Completely waterproof and able to operate in harsh environments, the easy to use 710A series single station battery operated controllers with two wire DC latching solenoid can be installed above ground or below grade on a wide range of valves.

Powered by two AA alkaline batteries that last up to three years, the 710A series controllers offer installation flexibility and simple programming for easy operation and maintenance, including seven buttons with a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and icon-based programming with five start times per day in weekly or cyclical mode. Additional features include monthly budget, rain delay of up to 99 days with automatic restart, 20 preset smart programs utilizing historical ET, and monthly and daily programming restriction options to comply with city and municipal codes.

Distinguished among the 710A features are twenty Simple Smart programs based on monthly historical Evapotranspiration (ET) for spray heads and drip irrigation, with an editing feature that can be used as part of the controller programming. Combining one of the historical Evapotranspiration preset programs and a rain sensor can help seasonally adjust or prevent unnecessary watering
