1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing DIG’s RBC 7000 Single Station Battery Operated Timer.

This manual describes how to get the RBC series timer up and running quickly.

timer, use the manual as a reference for less common tasks in the future.

2. ABOUT THE RBC 7000 BATTERY OPERATED TIMER

The RBC 7000 watering timer employs the latest irrigation programming features

to allow for complete control of any irrigation system and can be installed on either

an outdoor faucet or a PVC main water line. The RBC 7000 is available in single

station with a rain sensor connection, and is powered by two AA batteries that can

last up to 3 years [using name brand alkaline batteries]. The timer is enclosed in a

compact, waterproof housing to protect it from the elements.

5. INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cap by

turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Install two, fresh, brand name, AA

alkaline batteries (not included)

and note the proper direction of the

positive and negative orientation on the

underside of the timer.

3. Insert and screw the battery cap

clockwise. Make sure to securely

tighten the cover ﬁrmly by hand only.

The timer display appears with a day,

PM, and the hour digit ﬂashing. The timer

is ready to be installed and programmed.

6. INSTALLATION

The RBC 7000 timer has a 3/4 in. inlet and outlet with

female pipe thread so it can be installed directly onto

3/4 in. PVC male pipe thread ﬁttings as part of a sprinkler

valve manifold or as a stand-alone unit. (Figure 1)

The RBC 7000 timer can be attached to a hose or faucet/

spigot using the two adapters that are included with the

timer. (Figure 7)

Warning: Wrap all pipe thread ﬁttings with Teﬂon tape.

Do not use pipe dope/pipe cement on valve! This will

damage the valve and void the warranty!

ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE THE DIRECTION OF THE

VALVE WHEN INSTALLING. THE SOLENOID AND TIMER MOUNT IS POSITIONED

TOWARDS THE OUTLET SIDE OF THE VALVE.

IN-LINE INSTALLATION

Rated operating pressure: 10-125 PSI

Recommended Operating Pressure:

10-80 PSI

1. Shut off main water supply.

2. Install a 3/4 in. ball or gate valve onto the PVC pipe

or to the valve manifold before installing the timer (Figure 2 and 3). This valve can

be very useful as an emergency

backup to turn the system off. This

type of arrangement is used by

professional installers.

3. Turn water supply on to ﬂush the line

and then shut the water off using the

ball or gate valve.

4. Install the timer wrapping Teﬂon

tape on all male pipe thread ﬁttings.

5. Turn water supply on to pressurize the system. The timer will open momentarily

and then will shut off.

6. The unit is now ready to be programmed.

FAUCET INSTALLATION

1. Wrap the swivel adapter and the nipple male pipe threads with 4-6 layers of

Teﬂon tape in a clockwise direction.

2. Screw the swivel adapter male threads into the inlet side of the controller valve

and tighten with a wrench or pliers. Repeat the steps with the ¾” MPT x MHT

nipple. (see Figure 4).

Note: Do not apply any Teﬂon tape to the male hose thread faucet.

3. Make sure the washer is in place inside the female swivel adapter, and then

screw the female swivel threaded clockwise onto the faucet and tighten by

hand only. Do not use pliers or a wrench. (Figure 5)

4. Turn on the faucet and check for leaks.

Warning: Do not tighten the swivel nut with pliers or wrench: Over-

tightening can cause damage to the swivel and washer resulting in leaks

and/or disconnection from the faucet.

If a backﬂow preventer is part of the faucet (new houses) do not install any other

backﬂow preventer to the faucet. If backﬂow preventers are part of your city code

and you have purchased a unit as part of your drip system, install the device on the

downstream side of the RBC 7000 (Figure 6 and 6a).

It is best to include a ﬁlter on a drip system. The ﬁlter cleans small particles out of

the water that would otherwise clog the drippers. The ﬁlters can also automatically

apply fertilizer through a drip system (Figure 7 and 8).
