What is required. Two 1.5 Volt AA Alkaline Batteries.
Cleaning the filter. The timer is protected by a wire mesh filter that ensures long lasting and trouble free operation. The filter should be inspected periodically and washed at the beginning of every season. Simply remove the filter from the connector and rinse clean under running water.
Fitting and replacing the batteries. To fit or replace the batteries, press the locking tab fully in to release the front part of the timer, which can then be detached. Fit two new batteries in the holder, observing the correct polarity. As long as the batteries are replaced within two minutes, the current settings will remain stored. Refit the front part of the timer to the back, and press, ensuring that the locking tab clicks into place. Important: Always replace the batteries at the beginning of each season.
Installation. Fit the timer to a cold water tap following these simple instructions. The spout of the tap should have a three quarter inch male thread. If not, use an adaptor. Screw the clamp collar of the three quarter inch female fitting on to the tap. Caution: Tighten the collar using hand pressure only. Do not use wrenches or other tools. Connect the watering lines to the respective quick click or threaded fittings using the appropriate connectors. Remember to turn on the water tap.
Selection of watering program. Press any button once to light up the display. Set the watering time by pressing the M button repeatedly, for example; 5 times, until the required value appears in display field D, for example; 5 minutes. Set the watering frequency for the interval between successive watering cycles by pressing the F button repeatedly until the required value appears in display field E, for example; 24 hours. The selectable intervals are every eight, twelve or twenty four hours, or every two, three, four, five or seven days.
Immediate start. Within ten seconds of selecting the program, press the A start button once only to program line A, or B start to program line B. Releasing the button, the message zero H blinks three times in the display, and the automatic watering cycle will start immediately. The watering can symbol appears in display field C indicating that watering is in progress together with the time remaining until the end of the cycle, and the symbol A or B showing which line is active. At the end of the watering cycle, display field C shows the symbol A or B to indicate which watering line will be activated next, the time remaining until the start of the next watering cycle displayed above the arrow glass symbol.
Delayed start. Within ten seconds of selecting the program, press the A start button repeatedly to program line A, or the B start to program line B until display field C shows the delay between one and twenty three hours before the start of the automatic watering cycle on the line selected, for example; 6 hours. Release the button and the number or hours will blink three times, after which the program begins the countdown to automatic start of the watering cycle shown in display field C above the hourglass symbol.
Making changes to the watering program. Repeat the programming procedure as indicated in the selection of watering program section, for example; changing from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. The new program will replace the previous one.
Manual watering. Press the A start and B start buttons simultaneously and hold them for at least three seconds. The timer goes in to manual mode, with the valves off off blinking. Pressing the A start button, line A will be activated for a duration of five minutes, which cannot be changed by the user, confirmed by the watering can symbol. To stop watering before five minutes have elapsed, press the A start button a second time. The same procedure can be carried out on line B. To quit the manual function, make certain that both valves are off, then press the A start and B start buttons nad hold them for at least three seconds.
Reset. The factory settings of the timer can be restored at any given moment by pressing the A start and B start buttons simultaneously and holding them for at least ten seconds.
Switching off the timer. If the timer needs to be switched off, for example; to store it away during winter, press the F button once, or repeatedly until the off symbol appears. Then press the A start button. Repeat the procedure for line B.
Rain sensor. The timer can be connected to a rain sensor, by wire or by radio. When the level of water in the rain sensor rises above five millimeters, the watering program will suspended automatically, then resumed once the rain water in the cup has evaporated.
