5. Initial start-up

Technical diagram of a water control device with labeled ports and control panel

Make sure that the filter in the tap connection is pointing upwards.

1. Wrap PTFE tape around the thread of the tap.
2. Screw the irrigation controller to the garden tap and ensure that the indicator is as vertical as possible to prevent rainwater from collecting and entering the interior.
3. Wrap PTFE tape around the threads of the water outlets.
4. Screw the garden hoses to the outlets of the irrigation controller.
5. Turn on the tap after programming the timer.

Note:

• Please do not use any tools for installation, only install the appliance by hand.
• If temperatures below freezing are expected, the appliance should be removed from the tap and stored indoors to avoid possible frost damage.

5.1 Activate the device before use

Please activate the device before using it for the first time or after a period of inactivity.

1. Leave the tap turned off.
2. Turn the watering control to „ON“.
3. Press and hold the „MANUAL“ button for 3-5 seconds to activate manual watering mode.
4. Press the „ZONE“ button twice to select both Zone 1 and Zone 2. When the screen flashes, immediately press the „OK“ button to start manual watering.
5. After hearing 2 „click“ sounds or after waiting approximately 5 seconds, the valves in the timer will open, then turn the dial to „OFF“ to close the valves.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 approx. 3-4 times.

Turn the tap on a little to test and then repeat steps 2-5 to check whether the water flows out as expected or is switched off.

6. Start-up

This device is a dual-zone irrigation controller that allows you to irrigate two different areas from the same tap. Each zone can be programmed with an independent start time, duration and frequency.

Attention! If two zones are operated simultaneously, the water pressure is lower than with a single zone, as the water pressure is divided between the two zones.

Configure the watering programme separately for each zone. Pay attention to which zone you have selected in the settings.
