7. Commissioning

Remove the device from the packaging and remove all packaging material.

Open the battery compartment and insert 4x 1.5V AA batteries. Always ensure that the polarity of the contacts is correct. Then close the battery compartment again.

Note: Make sure that the battery compartment is properly closed. When the device is not in use, please remove the batteries from the device and store them properly. Empty batteries must be removed from the device.

As an alternative to battery operation, you can use the device with the USB cable. Ensure that the voltage of the power supply does not exceed the voltage shown on the rating plate. If the device is supplied with power via USB, the corresponding symbol lights up on the display.

Note: As soon as batteries are inserted and the USB cable is also connected to the device and a suitable USB power supply unit, the USB connection is prioritised. As soon as the cable is disconnected from the device, battery-powered mode is activated.

8. Set watering cycle (automatic watering)

HOW LONG

Press the "OK" button to access the settings for the watering cycle. Set the desired watering duration using the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons. You can set the watering duration between 20s and 30 min. Once you have set the watering duration, press the "OK" button to confirm the settings.

HOW OFTEN

You can then set the frequency of how often the device should water using the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons. You can set the frequency between 1 hour - 23 hours and between 1 day - 7 days. Once you have set the watering duration, press the "OK" button to confirm the settings.

DELAY

You can then set the delay before the appliance starts watering. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to set the delay. The delay can be set between 0 hours (no delay) - 24 hours. Confirm the entry with the "OK" button. For example, if it is 7 o'clock and you want to start the cycle at 10 o'clock, set the delay to 3 hours.

9. Installing the pump

Caution! Ensure that the pump is not installed below the water level. Make sure that the height between the plants and the pump does not exceed 2.5 metres under any circumstances, otherwise the performance of the pump may be considerably reduced.

When installing the pump, make sure that the filter is in the water tank and that the hose is fully connected to every connected object (e.g. connectors, valves or micro drippers) to prevent water leaks.

10. Connect hose

1. Cut the hose according to the distances to the respective plants.
2. Dip the ends of the individual hose pieces in hot water for about 10 seconds or apply a little vegetable oil to them to make it easier to attach the hose to the valve and/or end pieces.
3. Connect the hose to the water connection and outlet of the Water Computer.
4. Connect the non-return valve (8) to the water outlet near the Water Computer. Ensure that the non-return valve is installed in the correct direction.

Correct installation direction (the thick side of the non-return valve must face the direction of water flow)

1. Plug one end of the hose for the inlet into the water filter(7) and the other end into the inlet connection of the Water Computer (the upper hose connection (IN))
2. Then connect the hoses to the plants using the appropriate connectors. If you want to use a micro dripper(10) and thus deliver water directly to the soil in the roots, you must install the micro dripper(10) at the end of the corresponding water pipe.
3. If you have an open water pipe that does not water a plant, please install an end cap(11) to prevent the water from leaking.

11. Manual watering

The device offers you the option of watering manually without interrupting the programmed schedule. Manual watering is used to test the device or to run an additional watering cycle in an area. Press and hold the "OK" button for about 3 seconds to activate manual watering. Briefly press the "OK" button to cancel manual watering again.

12. Stop water flow

You can stop the water flow at any time, either during manual watering or during a programmed time. Press the "OK" button once to stop watering.

13. Troubleshooting

Error Possible cause of	error/troubleshooting
Uneven water flow	Too great a distance from the pots and the water tank or pipes that are too long can reduce the pump's delivery capacity. The further away the objects to be watered are, the weaker the water flow will be at the end of the corresponding pipe.
Inserting or removing removal of water pipes is difficult	You can use a little vegetable oil to get the hose onto the connectors or valves better. Alternatively, you can dip the end of the hose in hot water for approx. 10 seconds.
Irrigation schedule Irrigation is delayed or irrigation is cancelled	• Check the water level in the water tank. If there is insufficient water, the pump may no longer be able to pump water out of the tank. Top up the water tank. • Check the set watering schedule. Create a new watering schedule if necessary.
