☞
We recommend using a 9V block battery (alkaline type), to ensure long and safe operation. You
should not use a rechargeable battery to power the watering timer.
Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
If the watering timer is already mounted on a tap, remove it from the tap
fi
rst. Dry the water-
ing timer carefully; otherwise, water could penetrate into the battery compartment, which could
permanently damage the timer, loss of warranty!
The battery needs changing if the LED remains lit after the watering process is started with the
“ENTER” button and the subsequent activation of the valve.
• First, remove the two screws from the battery compartment cover on the back, using a suitable screw-
driver. Remove the battery compartment cover; note the correct orientation.
• Connect a 9V block battery to the connection plug. Insert the battery in the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery compartment cover in the correct orientation (the rounded side towards the frame),
taking care not to pinch the battery cable.
• Secure the battery compartment cover with the 2 screws removed at the beginning.
Connection to a tap
• If a quick-release coupling is attached to your garden tap, remove it.
• Check the correct positioning of the sealing ring in the swivel nut. Then, hold the watering timer
fi
rmly, while
you connect the swivel nut to the garden tap.
Tighten the swivel nut by hand; do not use any tools! Otherwise, the swivel nut may be
damaged; loss of warranty!
• Connect your garden hose to the lower screw thread; we recommend using a conventional quick-release
coupling.
Operation
a) Automatic watering
• Select the desired watering time with the upper rotary switch (“RUN TIME”). The time can be set to 2, 5,
10, 15, 30, 60, 120 or 240 minutes.
☞
With the “OFF” setting, the watering function is deactivated and the watering timer is turned off
(for example, during rainy/cool weather).
• Select the desired interval, with the lower rotary switch (“INTERVAL”). The following settings are possible:
“6hrs”
6
hours
“12hrs” 12
hours
“24hrs” 24
hours
“48hrs” 48
hours
“3rd day” 3 days
“4th day” 4 days
“5th day” 5 days
“7th day” 7 days

y several times, and
then the
fi
rst watering process begins for the selected watering period.
☞
If the red LED remains lit after the start, the battery is
fl
at and must be replaced by a new one
immediately.
• If the duration and the interval need to be changed at a later date, set both rotary switches to the desired
position and press the “ENTER” button within 10 seconds.
• To end watering early, turn the upper rotary switch to the “OFF” position. This deactivates the watering
timer and the integrated valve is closed.
b) Manual Watering
If desired, an additional watering can be started manually outside the automated watering times.
• Select the desired watering time, with the upper rotary switch. The time can be set to 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60,
120 or 240 minutes.

immediately.
After the manually started watering
fi
nishes, the automatic watering is active again, even if the lower rotary
switch is still set to “MANUAL START.”
• To end watering early, turn the upper rotary switch to the “OFF” position. This deactivates the watering
timer and the integrated valve is closed. However, if you do this, the automatic watering process is termi-
nated!
