Description of the Appliance

1 Reduction piece (G ^3/_4 )
2 Water connection (G 1) with filter gasket
3 Hose connection
4 Coupling element for hose connection
5 Housing top
6 Battery compartment
7 Signal lamp
8 Regulator irrigation frequency
9 Regulator irrigation duration
10 Button to change the start time / for function control

Before Startup

→ Remove the top part of the casing.
→ Insert a 9V battery (type 6LR61 / Alkaline).
→ Close the casing and ensure a proper fit.
→ Screw the coupling element onto the hose connection.
→ If necessary, screw the reduction piece onto the water connection.
→ Hold the irrigation device to the casing and screw the water connection onto the water tap.

Caution

Never connect the irrigation device to the water tap without using the supplied filter gasket.

Start up

Setting the irrigation duration

→ Set the regulator for the irrigation duration to the desired duration, e.g. 15 minutes.

Set the irrigation frequency and the start time

Note: The start time of the irrigation rhythm corresponds directly to the set time of the irrigation duration. The start can be optionally changed and is also described below.

→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation frequency to the RES position. The signal lamp blinks red, the programming mode is activated for 30 seconds.
→ Activate the button to change the start time (option). Every use moves the start time by 60 minutes. e.g.: To delay the start time by 3 hours, press the button three times (from the current time). The signal lamp glows green every time it is used.
→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation frequency to the desired cycle. h = cycle time in hours, e.g. every 4 hours d = cycle time in days, e.g. every 2 days w = weekly cycle

Reset setting

In order to correct an entry or to delete a preset programme

→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation frequency to the RES position.

Operation

Programme-controlled irrigation

The irrigation will take place automatically as per the preset programme (e.g. every 2 days for 15 minutes each).

Actuating the button for function control lets you check the current status at any time. While the programme is active, the signal lamp will briefly light up green.

Note: If the battery is depleted, the irrigation programme will be interrupted automatically and the signal lamp will glow red. If the irrigation device is to be used over longer periods without supervision, you should insert a new battery.

Manual irrigation

The irrigation can be started manually at any time; the preset programmes will not be affected by this.

Start manual irrigation

→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation duration to the ON position; the signal lamp will briefly light up green, the valve will open. After 30 minutes, the irrigation process will end automatically.

Stop manual irrigation

→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation duration to the OFF position; the signal lamp will briefly light up red, the valve will close.

Note: If an irrigation programme is set on the irrigation unit, the regulator for the irrigation duration must be reset to the desired times after the manual irrigation is completed. If the regulator is set to OFF, there will be no irrigation, even though the internal irrigation rhythm will continue.

Finish operation

At the end of the irrigation season

→ Turn off tap.
→ Remove the irrigation device from the water tap and the water hose.
→ Activate manual irrigation to drain the remaining water from the irrigation device.
→ Turn the regulator for the irrigation frequency to the RES position.
→ Remove the battery.

Maintenance and care

Clean the filter gasket

→ Regularly remove the filter gasket from the water connection and rinse under running water.

Battery

Change the battery

Prior to each irrigation season or of the signal lamp glows red.

→ Remove the top part of the casing.
→ Insert a new 9V battery (type 6LR61 / Alkaline).
Dispose of the used battery according to the local provisions.
Note: The safety unit of the irrigation device will automatically close the valve if the battery is depleted.

→ Close the casing and ensure a proper fit.
