ABSTRACT:
A program expander for a sprinkler valve timer, alternates a pair of valve selector switches each having a plurality of sprinkler valves connected thereto. The expander includes a star wheel attached to the shaft of a double wafer rotary switching arrangement and a lug on a motor driven timing disk which engages the star wheel once at the end of each revolution thereof, thereby advancing the switching arrangement one position. The expander further includes a bank selector switch which connects valve actuating power alternately to one valve selector switch and then the other, and a disk motor switch which delays disconnecting the disk motor until the end of every other revolution of the disk in cooperation with a motor stop switch actuated by the timing disk and operative to disconnect the disk motor switch at the end of each revolution of the disk.
