Irrigation controller Cellfast Chronos electronic 2-zone (2-section) model 11014227

The Cellfast Chronos electronic 2-zone irrigation controller is a compact unit designed to automate watering for gardens and small landscapes. It provides independent scheduling for two irrigation zones, allowing users to set watering frequency, start times and duration for each valve. The controller supports manual activation to start a cycle outside programmed schedules and includes timing control to manage run times and intervals, helping to optimize water use and maintain plant health.

Advantages

The device offers programmable, independent control of two irrigation sections, which simplifies management of different plant needs within a single system. Its manual start function enables immediate watering without reprogramming, and the clear interface provides straightforward adjustment of schedules and durations. Built for garden and small landscape settings, the compact design permits easy installation near valves or inside weather-protected enclosures.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Automated garden watering for private yards and allotments
• Small landscape irrigation for lawns, flowerbeds and shrubs
• Control of two independent valve zones with distinct schedules
• Seasonal or routine watering management to conserve water

Key specifications

• Number of zones: 2 independently programmable output zones
• Control type: electronic timer with manual start option
• Scheduling: adjustable start times, run durations and watering frequency
• Outputs: valve timing outputs suitable for standard solenoid valves used in garden irrigation
• Installation: compact wall- or panel-mountable housing for protected spaces

How to use

Install the controller in a sheltered location close to the irrigation valves and connect each valve to one of the two output zones according to the wiring instructions provided with the system. Program the desired start times, run durations and frequency for each zone using the unit’s controls. Use the manual start function to trigger an immediate watering cycle when required. Regularly check settings and valve operation, and adjust schedules seasonally to match weather and plant needs.

Usage recommendations

For efficient water use, set shorter, more frequent cycles for shallow-rooted plants and longer, less frequent cycles for deep-rooted species. Disable or reduce automatic cycles during heavy rain and winter months, and perform periodic inspections of wiring and valve connections to ensure reliable operation.
