what does it mean when FUS flashing on station 3 and 4 on the rain dial screen ,non of the 6 stations zone valves getting water except manually open

You have an electrical problem with the valves - possibly solenoids 3 & 4 or in the wire splices. When nothing operates, it usually means a problem with the "common" wire. Try disconnecting the 3 & 4 stations at the controller, then see if the other stations operate. If they do, replace solenoids. If not, check for problems in the common wire.

there is a malfunction or shorted wire at the valve controlling those stations check guide at http://www.rain1.com/manuals/manual_raindial07.pdf

I don't really know. We had a friend do the installation and I didn't get any details. Ours is a bit cranky: it stops working sometimes when it rains.

Yes. It operates by a 'spring' that becomes operational when you rotate the dial to the to set the desired watering time. Even with no water flow, I can rotate the dial and hear a 'ticking' noise inside of the device and the dial will eventially rotate back to zero -- even if it's not connected to anything.

It may be misting and you just aren't able to see it. I notice that if it's on the 1 or 2, it can be difficult to see the steam - but it is there. It's much easier to see if you adjust the setting to 3 or 4.

You might want to contact the manufacturer's support, most these days are willing to walk thru issues with customers. If there was a power surge maybe there was damage to the sprinkler control box? If not, it's fairly intuitive to set up all zones for watering, also comes with instructions, so there may be a defect with yours. http://www.orbitonline.com/contact

Yes it will. You have a couple of options for this. You can water a single station by turning the dial to that station and then press the "Water Now" button. It will start watering for 10 minutes, but you can easily adjust the time with simple up and down arrows. Or, you can simply press the "Water All Stations" button and the system will cycle through each station, watering them for 10 minutes per station. Again, you can adjust the length of time with an up/down arrow buttons. I use these features fairly often, since the weather has been anything but consistent out here.

I'm not sure what you mean, but this unit is to turn on/off your sprinkler pump in coordination with the sprinkler system turning on and off. Our irrigation system has 7 zones. This box does not control the zones, only the sprinkler pump.

it is designed to operate 6 valves, one for each of the 6 stations. only one valve can be turned on at a time. You cannot put more than one valve on a station or you will overload it.

Check that dial is set to "Run" and that hosebib/valve that it's connected to is open and that anything downstream which may have a valve (this may not apply) is turned open.

It SHOULD work. I know the valves open even when the water is turned off (like when we have had a couple days rain) so if you have enough pressure to push water now without a timer adding one shouldn't change anything.

There should not be water in the dial. All it should do is to move the "Needle" to the correct pressure.I believe the gauge is defective.

According to the manual there is an optional part (part No 57098) that ca be purchased. The rain shut off switch can be easily connected to the timer to prevent over-watering during rainy periods.

I bought two valves from Lowes. Same problem at first: as long as it's hooked, water just run through. What I found was this is the default status for the valve. To solve it, you need to connect it to the timmer, adjust to manual watering for 1 min, when 1 min is up, the valve shuts off. No problem.

Starts blinking when water level is low, but does not shut off automatically. What I don

Yes! You can pick the day(s) you want to water, what time to start, and how long to run the sprinklers at each station. You can manually turn it off on rainy days, and change the settings anytime you want. It's very easy to use!

4 stations means you can have 4 zones running independently. A station is one of those things that turns on or off a valve. http://www.orbitonline.com/site_files/originals/manuals/57894-24%20rA%2812%291.pdf is a manual.

Yes, this is an issue. When I use it, I slowly turn the dial and stop when the pressure is sufficient. Please note that the water will not come out immediately when you start turning the dial. It takes some time to build sufficient pressure for the nozzle to start spraying the water. You should get the right dial position with a bit trial and error.
