The duration of the first watering is likely to be long, the pump will not switch off
until the batteries fall to 10v, this may take several hours, but after that proper
control should be established. If the excess water is likely to be a problem the bypass
valve can be opened until this has happened.
Adjusting the application.
•
The switch on the circuit board controls the solar panel. This is charging the battery
on a 5 minute cycle. On switch positions 1,2,3,4,5, the solar panel is turned on for
1,2,3,4,5 minutes respectively. Changing the switch position will not affect the
current run time or flow rate, but will control the amount of charge available for the
subsequent watering cycle, thereby affecting the pumping duration. The application
can be fine-tuned with small adjustments to the bypass valve.
Supplementary pump
–
if the main pump is running, this should intermittently to dose the
water with feed.
After 24-48 hours the unit should have settled down. Monitor the water application, turn
the switch up or down accordingly. Once it is set up it will adjust itself for light intensity but
you will need to readjust it for your plants as they grow.
