How do I know if my sprinkler timer is 220 or

How do I know if my sprinkler timer is 220V or 120V?

I have to replace my Intermatic outdoor unit. I connect to a water pump. The label on the enclosure faded and I cannot get a p/n. I do not know if the unit I have is a R8806P101C 220V or 8815PP101C 125V.
How do I determine which one it is? Is there an easy way?

It would be highly unusual for a sprinkler timer to be 220v.
They require very little power, unless they're industrial to control a golf course or something.

SOURCE: intermatic outdoor can't reprogram. display reads NoOp

Les, First thing to do is to change the battery and see if the timer will allow you to reprogram it. Sometimes these timers will fail, as some models have a known history of failing fairly often.

NoOp, means non operating within the Intermatic line of electronic timers, so in order to see if the unit has failed or is just malfunctioning, due to a weak battery, remove the existing battery and install a fresh, new one.

You can remove the existing battery by flipping down the front switch panel and removing the battery tray with either your fingernail or a small flat bladed screwdriver. As your timer is showing the NoOp, you don't have to worry about losing your programmed on/off cycles, so you can take your time. Normally, if you're changing the battery, you get about 30 seconds to do this with some models of Intermatic timers, or you'll lose the settings. The newer models store the program regardless of how long it takes to change the battery.

Once you've replaced the battery, press the Reset button on the timer and allow it to refresh. If the NoOp is gone, just reprogram the timer with your on/off cycles and days and you're back in action. If the timer doesn't clear, you'll likely need to replace it, as it could be damaged and will not be able to be programmed again.

Usually, changing the battery and resetting the timer works about 60% of the time for me, as I've installed thousands of the various Intermatic timers in customer's homes over the years.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Open following link for Intermatic sprinkler-timer parts list

If yellow dial is not keeping correct time, then clock motor has gone bad.
Replace clock motor.

SOURCE: My Intermatic sprinkler timer's 'auto" switch

You can replace the 133T1115A switch if that's the suspect part:

Other than the switch, the only other thing affecting timer would be the trippers.

Nelson water timer instructions

http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html#sprinkler
Link has all sprinkler timer manuals available online 2012.
Probably does not include older timers since manufacturers post recent manuals, with expectation that today's sprinkler timers do not last long. Except for Intermatic 120V-240V sprinkler timers that are made to last decades and have replacement parts.

Toggles don't turn pump omn ahd off but can use it manually

Timer is not identified.
Voltage is not known.
Is this a new timer installation, or older timer that worked before.
Problem cannot be solved without knowing timer model number and voltage, and if timer worked before or if this is new timer.
Read information below, and then add a comment with missing information.

Sprinkler timers have a replaceable toggle switch.

I installed a new Intermatic timer, model # T8805P101C, it works manually but the wheel doesn't turn to automatic set timings

If the dial does not rotate but manual override works, then the timer is wired incorrectly or polarity of line is reversed or you are connecting to 240Volt line instead of 120V.
1) You have wires from breaker box reversed with wires that goes to sprinkler solenoid. Switch black wires and see if that corrects problem.
2) Check that breaker supplying voltage is 120Volt.
3) Test if black wire from breaker tests 120V to ground wire, and test that white wire from breaker tests 0 volts to ground.

How do you wire a Toro Rain Sensor 53769 to Intermatic Timer T8845PV

The rain sensor only connects to Intermatic sprinkler timer IF the timer has the rain sensor terminals.
Not all Intermatic sprinkler timers have that connection.
For example R8815P101C and R8816P101C have rain sensor terminals

I think the rain sensor terminals are located to the right of main wiring terminal block.
There are two screw terminals.

The rain sensor plugs into a power source, and then sensor wires connect to the timer.
Apply no voltage to the sprinkler timer terminals.

I need the instruction manual for Model # R8806R101C.

Intermatic manuals
http://www.intermatic.com/customer%20service/instruction%20manuals.aspx

R8806R101C manual is not shown on Intermatic, even among discontinued models.
But product is still for sale.

R8806P manual is available:
I suspect manual is very similar since it's a mechanical time piece. If not, then add a comment with specifics and I will help.

The clock has stopped. I have to turn it manually. Its an outdoor timer with a cover.

If the clock dial does not rotate >> and the manual override works >> the the clock motor is bad.

The clock motor is replaceable. Snap out the insides, and the clock is attached with 2 small screws >>> sometimes these take a start screwdriver from the auto parts store.

On the inside cover of your timer is a sheet showing the clock voltage. Some clocks are 240 Volts, some are 120 Volts.

The back of the clock also has identifying numbers.

You say the timer is outdoor. A pool timer is probably 240Volt timer, with a 240Volt clock.
If the timer controls the sprinkler or lights, then the clock motor is probably 120V, with 120V clock motor

Grainger sells 120 and 240 clocks for the T100 series timer

A+ sells a long list of Intermatic clock motors
http://www.aplussupply.com/intermatic/timermotors.htm

If your timer is an Intermatic, you can also buy the whole timer, and then swap the insides without changing the box.
