Intended use: The GARDENA Water Control is intended for private use in domestic and hobby gardens, exclusively for outdoor use, to control sprinklers and watering systems. The Water Control can be used for auto- matic watering during holidays. DANGER! The GARDENA Water Control must not be used for industrial purposes or in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuffs, easily flammable and explosive materials. Important! Read the operators manual carefully before use and keep for future reference. 1892-20.960.01.indb 17 Battery: To ensure the Water Control runs safely, only a 9V alkaline manganese battery {alkaline) type IEC 6LR61 must be used!

In order to stop the Water Control from failing because of a weak battery if you are away for a long time, the battery must be replaced when the battery symbol flashes. Setting up: The Water Control may only be set up vertically with the sleeve nut to the top to prevent water: penetrating into the battery compartment. The minimum water output to ensure that the Water Control functions correctiy is 20 — 30 l/h For example, at least 10 x 2-litre Drip Heads are required to control the Micro-Drip-System. At high temperatures (over 70 °C at the display) the LCD display may extinguish. This does not affect the program in any way. When the com- puter cools down the LCD display iluminates again. The max. temperature for the water flow is 40°C. Avoid tensile strain. — Do not pull the hose connected to the Water Control.

1892-20.960.01.indb 18 CAUTION! If the control section is removed when the valve is open, the vale remains open until the control section is reattached. DANGER! Cardiac arrestl This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kil, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before you operate the product.

Schedules can be acti- vated or deactivated by pressing on/off (see fig. H) Default display (Fig. J): 1 Idie screen | 2 Programs Seasonal watering duration — (Fig. K): 1 Menu: Seasonal Run Time | 2 Regular Run Time | 3 Reduce Watering You can reduce the durations set for all schedules at once in 10% increments, from 100% down to 10%. This saves you having to change each of the 6 schedules individual. Tip: Less watering is required in the spring and autumn than in the height of summer. Simply set the maximum watering duration for high summer as the default. Then reduce the watering duration for all schedules at once in convenient 10% incre- ments when there is less need for watering. Note: When you change the percentage, the dura- tion is adjusted within the schedules and the

If the duration is not aitered (= 100%), the “sun” symbol is displayed Rain pause — (Fig. L): 1 Menu: Rain pause | 2 Pause / 8 days Pauses all watering operations without changing the set schedules. You can select any number of days between 1 and 9. At the end of the pause, all schedules are reactivated.

(optionally available) — (Fig. D and N): J T 1 Menu: Soi Moisture Sensor Once the soil is suficientiy most, a water- ing operation is interrupted or a schedule is disa- bled so that it cannot be activated. This does not affect active (manual) watering. + (Fig. D and Nj: 1 Connect soil moisture sensor After a soil moisture sensor is connected, the “sensor activated/deactivated” display will appear — this can take up to 1 minute. Select an option to activate/deactivate the sensor response. Use the switching point controller on the soil moisture sen- sor to set he level of soil moisture that must be achieved before the sensor responds (see Opera- tor's Manual for GARDENA Soil moisture sensor)

GARDENA Automatic Water Distribu- tor, Art. 1197 (optionally available) + (Fig. O): 1 Menu: Water Distributor auto- matic This menu allows you to control up to 6 water lines with the Automatic Water Distributor. This includes a necessary minimum pause of 5 minutes between the outlets and a minimum watering duration of 80 seconds (display: 1 min). This time ensures reliable switch-over to the next outlet and makes sure that the schedules and outlets are correctiy linked (for detals of the com- missioning process, see the Operating Instructions for the Water Distributon. 2 Select amount of active water lines You can select any number between 2 and 6. Seal any outlets on the Water Distributor that you do not need with end caps and move the setting lever to the “OFF” position. 8 Create schedules 1 - 6: When prompted to do so, enter watering schedules L1—L6 on the display. For this, use the standard method for entering schedules based on the start time, duration and frequency. Note: Schedules are not allowed to overlap. If you enter a schedule that overlaps with the next one, the start time of the next watering operation will be postponed and a pause of 5 minutes will be inserted between the operations. 1892-20.960.01indb 21 + Start times: Define the start times for the water lines in chronological order. This makes it easier to calculate and suggest the next possible start time. + Duration: The total watering duration for all outlets — including the necessary pauses — must not exceed 24 hours. Frequency: Different weekdays can be selected. Note: To ensure correct switch-over and correct linking of the schedules and outlets, any outlets that are not scheduled to operate on a particular day will still be activated for a period of 30 sec- onds on the day concerned. Reduction in the number of outlets: If the number of outlets is reduced, the superfluious channels will be deleted. For example, if the number of outiets is reduced from 5 to 3, the settings for no. 4 and no. 5 will be deleted. + Active (manual) watering: To activate a watering operation manually, press CÆ). Please note that a minimum duration of 30 seconds and a pause of at least 5 minutes must be observed. 4 Sensor per line (optional) + If a soil moisture sensor is connected, you have the option of activating/deactivating it for each individual outlet. If the sensor is deactivated for a particular schedule, watering will always take place based on the schedule.

Ifthe sensor signals that the level of moisture is sufficient, any pending watering operation wil be reduced to a duration of 30 seconds (display: 1 min). 5 Schedule L1
