Controller Components

The three main components of every automatic sprinkler

system are the controller, station control valves and

sprinklers.

The controller is the brain of the system, telling the control

valves when and how long to supply water to the sprin-

klers. The sprinklers direct and control the water applied to

the lawn and plants.

Each valve controls a specific group of sprinklers called

a watering station. The stations are generally laid out

and installed according to the type of plant material to be

watered, the location of the plant within the landscape

and the maximum amount of water which can be sup-

plied. Each valve is connected to a numbered terminal

within the controller, identifying it as Station 1, Station 2,

etc.

The controller operates the valves in order, one at a

time. In other words, one station would water completely

before another station would turn on. This is called a

watering cycle. The information stored in the controller

memory which determines when and how long the sta-

tions will water is called a program.

The next section of this guide is very important. It explains

what a program is and how the GreenKeeper 212 controls

the operation of the sprinkler system.

A watering program requires three basic instructions to

operate automatically:

• What days to water –called watering days

• When to water – called a program start time

• How long to water – called station run time

The following example illustrates how a typical watering

program could be set for the sprinkler system shown on

the previous page.

Example: The program start time is set for 5:00 AM. Lawn

stations 1 and 2 each have a run time of 10 minutes and

lawn station 4 is set to run for 20 minutes. Note that sta-

tions 3 and 5 water shrubs and flowers and have been

excluded from this program. (These stations will be set

to operate on separate programs).

As shown in the watering program diagram, at 5:00 AM

the controller starts the program watering cycle. Station

1 sprinklers run for 10 minutes and shut off. Station 2

sprinklers turn on, run for 10 minutes and shut off. The

controller skips station 3 and turns on station 4, which

runs for 20 minutes and shuts off. Station 5 is skipped

and the watering cycle ends at 5:40 AM.

As you can see from this example, only one program

start time was needed to operate three different stations.

Because of variations in plant watering needs, the

GreenKeeper 212 provides three separate programs.

The programs, called A, Band C, are completely inde-

pendent of one another – like having three timers in one

housing.

Using more than one program for example, would enable

lawn zones to be watered every day on program A,

shrub zones to run on on Monday, Wednesday and Fri-

day on program Band drip irrigation to soak the flower

beds every three days on program C.

Although the GreenKeeper 212 offers the multiple pro-

gram feature, you may want to have all zones on one

program if it meets your needs. The other programs can

remain turned off until you need to use them.

Watering Program Diagram

This section covers in detail each of the three parts of a

watering program – watering days, program start times

and station run times.

Selecting Watering Days

The GreenKeeper 212 provides four options for schedul-

ing watering days: Calendar, Interval, Odd or Even and

Off.

Calendar Schedule

A Calendar schedule enables you to select specific days

of the week to water, for example, Monday, Wednesday

and Friday. This is a seven-day schedule which starts on

Sunday and ends on Saturday.

This illustration shows how a Calendar schedule would

be displayed when the control dial is in the

WATERING DAYS position.

In this example, program A

has watering days set for MO

(Monday), WE (Wednesday)

and FR (Friday).

Interval Schedule

An Interval schedule enables you to set watering days

without regard to the actual days of the week. For exam-

ple, if you want to water every third day, you would

select a 3-day Interval. Interval schedules range from

1-day (watering every day) to 7-day (watering every sev-

enth day). Once you have selected an Interval schedule,

you can choose which day of the week will be the first day

of the Interval. The number of days in the Interval deter-

mines the available start days. For example, if you have

selected a 3-day Interval and today is Sunday, you may

choose to start the Interval today, Monday or Tuesday.

This illustration shows how

an Interval schedule would

be displayed. In this exam-

ple, program Bhas a 3-day

Interval schedule which will

start on Monday.

Odd/Even Schedule

The Odd/Even schedule enables you to select odd or

even numbered days of the month as watering days.

This illustration shows how

an Odd day schedule

would be displayed.

Program Off

Selecting OFF suspends the operation of the program

when it is not needed. Turning the program off does not

alter or erase the watering day schedule of the program,

it simply places the program on hold until it is needed.

This illustration shows how a

program would be displayed

if its watering day schedule

is turned off. In this exam-

ple, program Cis off.

Selecting Program Start Times

A program start time is the time of day you select to

begin an automatic program watering cycle.

It is important to remember that a program only

requires one start time to operate automatically.

When a program starts, each station assigned to the

program will water in numerical order, one at a time for

its set run time.

Sometimes it is necessary to run a watering program

more than one time per day. For example, when growing

a new lawn. The GreenKeeper 212 enables each pro-

gram to have up to four separate start times per day.

Program start times are numbered 1 through 4. These

numbers are shown at the top left of the display next to

the start time symbol when the control dial is in the

PROGRAM START TIME position and indicate how

many start times are currently set for the program.

This illustration shows how

a program start time is

displayed. In this example,

program Ahas one start

time (start time number 1)

set for 5:00 AM.

Setting the Station Run Time

A station run time is the length of time the station (con-

trolled by the valve) will water during the program water-

ing cycle. The run time for each station can be set from

Off (no run time) to 4 hours, in one-minute increments.

A station is assigned to a program when it is given a run

time. If the run time for a station is turned Off in a pro-

gram, it will not operate during the program watering

cycle. This is how the GreenKeeper 212 enables you to

assign stations to different programs.

All stations assigned to the program are shown on the

lower portion of the display when the control dial is in the

STATION TIMES position.

This illustration shows how

a station run time is dis-

played for a program. In this

example, zones 1–6 are

assigned to program A.

Station 1 has a 10-minute

run time and station 2 is set

to run for 25 minutes.

The station run time being

displayed is identified by the

flashing station number.

Flashing

It is always helpful to plan your watering schedule on

paper before beginning the programming steps. You will

have a record of your watering schedule and station loca-

tions which can be kept with your GreenKeeper 212 after

it is installed. If you have an indoor model controller, a

watering schedule form is provided on page 12 for you to

fill out then remove to keep with the controller. This form is

duplicated on a decal located on the inside cover of the

outdoor model.

◆Guidelines for Watering

There are several factors to be considered when decid-

ing when and how long to water. For example, the soil

type (i.e., clay, loam, etc.), the part of the landscape

being watered, climate conditions and the type of sprin-

klers being used. Because of these variables, we cannot

provide an exact schedule to follow, but here are some

general watering guidelines to help you get started.

• Water early in the morning, one to two hours before

sunrise. You will have the best water pressure at this

time and the water can soak into the plant root zone

while evaporation is minimal. Watering during mid-day

or in the evening may cause plant damage or mildew.

• Watch for signs of under- or over-watering and make

program adjustments immediately.

Filling Out the Watering Schedule Form

When filling out this form, use a pencil so changes can be

easily made. After installing the indoor model controller,

remove the form and store it in the pocket formed

between the mounting bracket and the back of the con-

troller housing.

Refer to the example form shown on the opposite page

and fill out your form in a similar manner with the follow-

ing information:

•Location - Identify the location of each watering sta-

tion and the type of plant being watered.

Note: Enter the following information for each pro-

gram. If the program is not needed, leave its informa-

tion column blank.

•Watering Day Schedule - For a Calendar schedule,

indicate which day(s) of the week watering is desired.

For an Interval schedule indicate the desired Interval

number. For Odd or Even days, simply mark the

appropriate box.

•Station Run Time - Indicate the amount of run time

(1 minute to 4 hours) for each station. Write “Off” for any

station which you do not want to operate in the program.

•Program Start Times - Indicate the time of day to

start the program. Each program can have 1 to 4 start

times per watering day.

Note: The GreenKeeper will run only one watering

cycle at a time. Therefore, when using multiple start

times within a program or when using multiple pro-

grams, make sure that each watering cycle will be

able to run completely before the next watering cycle

is scheduled to start. A program start time that occurs

while a watering cycle is in progress will be delayed

until the current watering cycle is finished.

The GreenKeeper 212 utilizes a 9-volt battery to retain its

watering program information in the event of a main power

interruption. This battery backup feature also enables

your controller to be fully programmed for operation right

out of the box—before installation—in the comfort of your

home. Simply attach the battery and begin the program-

ming steps. The program information will be retained for

the duration of the battery life – about 72 hours for an

Alkaline battery or 24 hours for a rechargeable Nickel-

Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery.

Note: The 9-volt battery does not supply enough voltage

to operate the station control valves.

1. Indoor models: Slide the lower housing cover toward

the bottom of the controller to remove.

Outdoor models: Pull outward on the lower housing

cover handle to remove.

Locate the battery wire clip and attach it to the battery

terminals. Place the battery into the cabinet compart-

ment as shown in Figure 1.

2. The display will begin flashing 12:00 AM. Press the

+/ON button to stop the display from flashing. The

colon (:) will continuously flash while displaying the

time and during watering operation. The Power Off

symbol will be displayed until the main power

supply is connected.

3. Locate the battery charger

switch (9) as indicated in

Figure 2. If an Alkaline bat-

tery is installed, the switch

must be set to the left posi-

tion (ALK) to turn the

charging circuit off. If a

rechargeable Ni-MH battery

is used, the switch must be

set to the right position

(RCHG) to turn the charging circuit on.

Caution: The battery charger switch must be set

correctly. Damage to the controller can result from

an Alkaline battery which may fail if charged.

4. Reinstall the lower housing cover.

24-Hour Clock Mode

The GreenKeeper 212 is

set to display time in the

12-hour clock mode. If you

prefer to use a 24-hour

clock mode (military time),

select this option by remov-

ing the 12/24 Hour Selector

Jumper (5). To store the

jumper, install it on one pin

as shown. See Figure 3.

15-Second Run Delay

The 15-second run delay feature is useful for sprinkler

systems utilizing a pump or master valve. For example,

a pump usually requires a few seconds to build pressure

after first starting. With the 15-second run delay select-

ed, the pump would be running (or the master valve

would open) 15 seconds before the first station begins

watering. A 15-second delay would also occur between

station operations. This helps ensure that one valve is

closed before another valve opens.

Note: A 2-second run delay will occur if this option is not

selected.

To select the 15-second delay option, remove the Delay

Selector Jumper (6). See Figure 3.

Odd/Even Watering Days

If you plan to use an Odd/Even day watering schedule,

remove the Odd/Even Selector Jumper (7) for this option.

The GreenKeeper 212 has a permanent watering sched-

ule within its memory to assist you in two ways. First, it

will restore watering operation in case your watering pro-

gram is lost due to a power interruption lasting longer

than the battery backup reserve. This prevents your

landscape from going unwatered if the power outage

occurs while you are away.

Secondly, if you do not want to program your

GreenKeeper 212, you can use the permanent water-

ing schedule to operate your sprinklers. Just set the

current time and day and your GreenKeeper 212 will

be ready to operate automatically.

The permanent watering schedule operates as follows:

When power is applied, the controller clock is set to

12:00 AM Sunday. Program Ahas a Calendar watering

schedule set to water every day. One program start time

is set for 5:00 AM (5:00) and a run time of 10 minutes is

set for each station. Programs Band Care turned Off

and have no program start times or run times.

Note: An optional feature is provided which enables the

The GreenKeeper 212 memory to be reset to the perma-

nent program or cleared completely if you choose. If you

do not want to use this option, skip the next procedure

“Resetting The Controller Memory” and continue at page

16 to begin programming.

About the GreenKeeper 212 Memory

Selecting Optional Features

BATTERY

Figure 3

The GreenKeeper 212 program memory can be reset to

the permanent program values or cleared completely at

any time without removing power.

Resetting the permanent program erases all user input

and replaces it with the permanent program values.

Clearing the program memory sets all program values to

Off (i.e., no active days, program start times or station

run times). You may find that this simplifies programming

the controller if your watering requirements are quite

different than the permanent values.

Note: When power is first applied, the GreenKeeper 212

will always reset to the permanent program values.

The Toro Rain Switch is a remote rain sensor which can

be connected directly to your GreenKeeper 212 to auto-

matically interrupt watering during rain.

A sensor bypass switch is provided which enables the

Rain Switch operation to be turned On and Off.

When the Rain Switch absorbs rain water it automatically

signals the GreenKeeper 212 to suspend all watering

operations. The “No Watering” symbol will appear in

the upper right corner of the display until the Rain Switch

drys out and automatically resets. The “No Watering”

symbol will disappear and controller operation will

resume as programmed.

The GreenKeeper 212 controller has three modes of

operation: Automatic, Manual and Off. In the Automatic

mode the controller tracks the time and day and oper-

ates the automatic watering schedules. The Manual

mode enables the watering programs to be started and

controlled manually at any time. The Off mode shuts off

all watering activity and prevents any zones from operat-

ing automatically or manually.

The Rain Delay and Season Adjust control features are

provided to enable quick, temporary changes in operation

to help compensate for variables in weather and season.

Each of the operating modes and control features are

explained in this section of the guide and can be found

on the following pages:

•Automatic Operation, page 30

•Manual Operation, page 31

•Watering Control Features, page 32

•Turning Off The GreenKeeper 212, page 33

•Using the Rain Delay Feature, page 33

•Using the Season Adjust Feature, page 34

In the Automatic mode, the GreenKeeper 212 keeps

track of the current time, day of the week and the auto-

matic watering program schedule. Automatic operation

will occur whenever a programmed watering day and

start time match the current time and day.

The Automatic mode is selected when the control dial is

in the RUN position. While in the automatic mode, the

display will show two types of information:

status and operation.

This illustration shows the

status display. In this

example the current time is

2:45 PM and the current

day is Monday. Programs

Aand Bare active on Monday.

When watering starts, the operating display appears and

is shown for the duration of the program.

In this example, program A

is operating. Station 1 is

watering and has 10 min-

utes of run time remaining.

Zones 2, 3 and 4 will oper-

ate during this program.

Program Bis also pro-

grammed to run today.

Note: If the control dial remains in any other position

(except OFF) for more than 8 minutes, the controller

reverts to the Automatic mode.

Note: The position of the PROGRAMS switch does not

determine which program will run during automatic con-

troller operation. In other words, if a program has an

assigned watering day schedule, start time and a station

with run time, it will operate automatically regardless of

the position of the PROGRAMS switch.

Automatic Operation

Controller Operation

Flashing

Manual operation enables the automatic watering pro-

grams or selected stations assigned to the program to be

started manually. During operation, temporary changes

can be made to increase or decrease the station run

time, step through the station sequence and pause or

stop watering using the “Watering Control Features”

described on page 32. Upon completion of the manual

watering operation, the controller will return to the Auto-

matic mode.

Starting Programs and/or Stations Manually

You may operate all stations or selected stations in each

program. Watering programs can be started individually or

set to start in order. When one program finishes the next

selected program will operate.

Ensure the control dial is in the RUN position.

Position the PROGRAMS switch to select the program

you wish to start.

watering operations will be canceled and the con-

troller will return to the automatic mode.

To Resume Watering (when paused)

Press the NEXT button.

•Watering activity will resume from the point of inter-

ruption.

To Cancel Watering

Press the +/ON and –/OFF buttons at the same time -

two times.

•All watering operations will be canceled and the con-

troller will return to the automatic mode.

Note: Placing the control dial in the OFF position for

two seconds, then back to RUN will also cancel all

watering operations.

To Skip Stations

Press the NEXT button one time.

•The station currently watering will shut off and the

next station will start.

•If the last station is skipped, the program will end. If

additional programs have been set to operate, the

next program in alphabetical order will start.

To Adjust the Station Run Time

Press the +/ON button to increase run time or the –/OFF

button to decrease run time.

•If the station run time is decreased to less than

1 minute, the station will shut off. The next station in

sequence will start.

•The station run time is changed during this operation

only. The program memory will not be changed.

Watering Control Features

When the control dial is turned to the OFF position, the

controller immediately shuts off any watering operation

currently in progress. Leaving the control dial in the

OFF position will prevent all automatic and manual

watering operations. The controller will continue to track

the current time and day of the week.

For extended shutdown of the sprinkler system leave the

control dial in the OFF position.

The word OFF will be displayed

for 8 minutes. The automatic sta-

tus display will then appear.

Automatic operation is resumed

by turning the control dial to the

RUN position.

This feature enables all watering operations to be

delayed from 1 to 7 days. For example, rain is forecast in

your area for the next two days. Instead of turning the

controller off (and possibly forgetting to turn it back on), a

rain delay of 3 days can be easily entered. At the end of

3 days, the controller will resume automatic operation as

scheduled.

Turn the control dial to the RAIN DELAY position.

The rain delay display will begin alternating with the

automatic status display.

To set the number of rain delay days, press the +/ON

or –/OFF button until the desired number (1–7) is

flashing.

Return the control dial to the RUN position.

Note: The rain delay number will automatically

decrease as each day passes. When the number

reaches 0 (zero), automatic operation will resume at

the next scheduled start time.

To cancel the rain delay, turn the control dial

momentarily (3 seconds) to the OFF position.

Turning Off the GreenKeeper 212

Flashing

Changes in season and temperature generally require a

change in station run time to maintain a healthy land-

scape and conserve water. The season adjust feature

enables you to change the run time of all zones assigned

to a program, simultaneously up or down, in 10% incre-

ments – with just the press of a button. Adjustments can

be reduced to 10% or increased to 200% of the pro-

grammed run time of each station.

A 50% setting, for example, would decrease a 20-minute

station run time to 10 minutes. Increases however, work

a little differently. With any adjustment above 100%, the

GreenKeeper 212 will first increase the run time by the

adjustment percentage, then split the time in half and run

the watering program twice. This allows the water to

soak in instead of pooling or running off. For example,

adjusting to 150% would first increase a 20-minute sta-

tion run time to 30 minutes, then split the time in half and

run two watering cycles back-to-back with 15 minutes in

each operation. During operation the % symbol will flash

to indicate a multiple watering operation.

Note: All station run times are retained in the controller

memory and returned to their set value when the season

adjust is reset to 100%. The only time a station run time

will appear changed is during operation.

Turn the control dial to the SEASON ADJUST posi-

tion. The season adjust display will be shown and

100% will be flashing.

Check the PROGRAMsswitch setting. If necessary,

reposition the switch to select the desired program.

Press the +/ON or –/OFF until the desired adjustment

value is flashing.

The Toro Promise — Limited Three-Year Warranty

The Toro Company and its affiliate, Toro Warranty Company, pursuant to an agree-

ment between them, jointly warrants, to the owner, each new piece of equipment

(featured in the current catalog at date of installation) against defects in material and

workmanship for a period described below, provided they are used for irrigation

purposes under manufacturer's recommended specifications. Product failures due

to acts of God (i.e., lightning, flooding, etc.) are not covered by this warranty.

Neither Toro nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for failure of products not

manufactured by them even though such products may be sold or used in conjunc-

tion with Toro products.

During such warranty period, we will repair or replace, at our option, any part

found to be defective. Your remedy is limited solely to the replacement or repair of

defective parts.

Return the defective part to your local Toro distributor, who may be listed in

your telephone directory Yellow Pages under "Irrigation Supplies" or "Sprinkler Sys-

tems," or contact The Toro Warranty Company P.O. Box 489, Riverside, California,

92502.

Phone (800) 664-4740 for the location of your nearest Toro distributor or outside

the U.S., call (909) 688-9221.

This warranty does not apply where equipment is used, or installation is per-

formed, in any manner contrary to Toro’s specifications and instructions, nor where

equipment is altered or modified.

Neither Toro nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for indirect, incidental or

consequential damages in connection with the use of equipment, including but

not limited to: vegetation loss, the cost of substitute equipment or services

required during periods of malfunction or resulting non-use, property damage or

personal injury resulting from installer’s actions, whether negligent or other-

wise.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or conse-

quential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

All implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for

use, are limited to the duration of this express warranty.

Some states do not allow limitations of how long an implied warranty lasts,

so the above limitation may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights

which vary from state to state.

The GreenKeeper 212 controller is covered by this warranty for a period of three

years from the date of installation.
