3. Battery
voltage
permanently
low
Check battery!
1. If the battery voltage remains low, although the solar panel is
charging, check battery, charge battery or exchange it.
Check
battery/charge or
exchange.
4. Charging
error due to
solar panel
Check solar panel!
Notes !
The normal charging function of the solar panel works as follows:
when the battery voltage is 14,0 V or more the charging function
switches off. On the display of the first menu window the sign „OFF“
appears when „charging with solar panel“ (1x MENU key)
If the battery voltage is 13,9 V or less, the charging function switches
on and on the display appears „ON“ in the same menu window.
If the solar panel does not charge the battery although the voltage is
13,9 V or less, on the display „OFF“, the reasons are as follows:
1. There is not enough light and charging is not possible.
2. The „ + / - “ phases of the solar panel are reversed. The polarity
should be measured.
3. The solar panel is defective. Determination by measurement at the
exit of the panel.
Correct polarity
Change panel
5. Unreadable
notifications
on the
display
System voltage / start-up error
1. Low voltage may be the reason for unreadable notifications on the
display .
2. This can also happen after first putting the device into operation or
after connecting the battery again (even if sufficient voltage is
available)
Note !
Disconnect battery and solar panel, connect „+/-„of the ECOSTAR
cables (neutralize), after approx. 1 min. connect battery and solar panel
again. Pay attention to the polarity of the cables!
Check battery

No length
specification
on the
display
Shut-off sensor / loose PE-pipe windings
1. The PE-Rohr is completely pulled off, but the display shows 000 m.
Notes !
a) In this case the shut-off frame on the RAINSTAR, or rather the shut-
off sensor was activated and the pipe length display switches to 000
m and the ECOSTAR stops the operation of the RAINSTAR.
The shut-off frame could also have been activated manually due to a
loose
PE-pipe- winding
.
Set PE Pipe-
Length on the
ECOSTAR again
b) The shut-off frame, or rather the shut-off sensor could also have
been activated while pulling down the PE-pipe. In this case the length
of the laid down pipe is shown, the shown value, however, is smaller
than the actual length of the pulled off pipe. The value must be
entered again as described below.
c) If the length is not counted when pulling off the pipe the value cannot
be corrected and the RAINSTAR does not start. In this case the
shut-off sensor is not adjusted correctly (distance too short, see
operating manual)
PE-pipe length specification at the ECOSTAR
Proceed as follows (see also operating manual)
a) Set retraction speed to 11,1 m/h
b) Press the key PROGRAM 3x, this way parameter sheet no.1 shows,
by pressing the key PROGRAM again you get to constant 7.
