Orbit 57869 Battery-Powered Sprinkler Controller with Valve Adapters | Dual Schedules

Upgrade your irrigation with Orbit 57869

The Orbit 57869 Battery-Powered Sprinkler Controller is designed to retrofit existing valves without the need for running new sprinkler wires. It can power up to four valve solenoids within a single valve box and includes a 13V latching solenoid plus adapters compatible with major valve brands. Engineered for outdoor use, this unit fits inside a valve box and runs on two AA alkaline batteries, offering a season-long option for automated watering where wiring is limited or interrupted.

What it does for you

• Controls up to four valve solenoids, ideal for upgrading multiple zones with a single device.
• Includes a 13V latching solenoid and adapters for major valve brands, simplifying compatibility and installation.
• Weather- and dust-resistant design built for outdoor valve boxes.
• Two independent programs (A and B) to tailor watering for different yard zones.
• Each program supports up to four start times, enabling cycle and soak windows to improve soil infiltration.

The timer automatically stacks overlapping runtimes so only one solenoid runs at a time, reducing valve chatter in busy valve boxes. A manual run mode supports quick testing of zones, while a rain delay feature lets you pause watering when rain is forecast or occurring, adding flexibility to seasonal schedules.

Smart, simple installation and everyday use

• Install by swapping the existing solenoid with the included 13V latching solenoid, insert batteries, and mount the timer on the valve solenoid.
• Outdoor-ready design with water and dust resistance suitable for valve boxes and exposed locations.

Practical and maintenance-friendly, the Orbit 57869 emphasizes ease of use: a removable control dial makes programming and battery changes fast, and the compact form fits neatly in most valve boxes. Note: intended for outdoor irrigation with cold water only and should be used in accordance with local guidelines.
