Connection to a tap
The watering timer can be programmed, even if it is not yet connected to the water
tap.
• If a quick-release coupling is attached to your garden tap, remove it.
• Check the correct fit of the metal coarse filter in the union nut; the tip must point inwards
toward the watering timer.
• Then, hold the watering timer firmly, while you tighten the union nut to the garden tap.
Depending on the existing water tap and its thread, the adapter ring supplied may
need to be used.
Do not cant the thread, otherwise it will be damaged! Tighten the swivel nut by hand;
do not use any tools! Otherwise, the swivel nut may be damaged; loss of warranty!
• You can connect the garden hose to the output; if necessary, use a quick-release coupling.
Operation
a) Setting the watering time and watering interval
Important:
The valve in the watering timer is opened to start the first watering immediately after
programming the watering duration and the watering interval.
If necessary, close the water tap to which the watering timer is connected.
• Briefly press the control button (6) several times to set the watering duration; a single blue
LED of the outer ring (5) flashes for the respective watering duration (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20,
25, 30, 40 or 55 minutes).
If you select the red “OFF” LED (2), the watering timer is switched off and the watering
function is deactivated.
• Wait for 4 seconds and a single green LED of the inner ring (4) will start to flash for the
watering interval.
• Briefly press the control button (6) several times to set the watering interval (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours or 1 week).
• Wait for 4 seconds to apply the setting, the blue and green LEDs for the set watering time and
the watering interval light up briefly. The green “ON” LED (3) lights up briefly.
• The valve is then opened in the watering timer and the first watering process starts.
• While the valve is open (and therefore watering is being carried out), the “ON” LED and the
respective blue LED for the watering duration and the green LED for the watering interval
flash every few seconds.
• Once the watering time has expired, the red “OFF” LED lights up briefly, after which all LEDs
go out.
b) Display of the set watering duration and the watering interval
• Briefly press the control button (6). The blue LEDs light up one after the other like chase
lighting.
• The blue LED for the set watering time and the green LED for the watering interval then light
up. When the valve is open, the “ON” LED also lights up.
c) Switching the watering timer off
• If the watering timer is not in setting mode, briefly press the control button (6) repeatedly until
no blue LED flashes, but the red “OFF” LED (2) lights up.
• All LEDs light up briefly, the watering timer is deactivated, the valve is closed.
d) Manual watering
Starting manual watering
• Press and hold the control button (6) for 3 seconds.
• The green “ON” LED (3) lights up, the valve is opened and the watering process starts. The
LED flashes approximately every 3 seconds to indicate the function.
Ending manual watering
• Press and hold the control button (6) for 3 seconds.
• The red “OFF” LED (2) lights up, the valve is closed and the watering process ends.
Turning on/closing the water tap
In order for the watering timer to work and distribute water for watering, you must of course turn
on the water tap. Check that all connections are tight.
For safety reasons, the function of the watering timer and/or correct watering must
be checked regularly. A damaged hose, leaking connections or children playing with
the hoses could cause flooding or water damage (for example, if water runs from a
garden bed next to the house into a light shaft/cellar).
We recommend turning the tap off if the watering timer is not going to used for a long
time. You should also switch the watering timer off to extend the battery life.
Overwintering
At temperatures around or below freezing, the watering timer must be removed from the tap
promptly. Allow residual water to drain out. Remove the three batteries from the battery com-
partment and store the watering timer in a dry, frost-free location over the winter.
In the event of frost, the water will freeze inside the watering timer; the higher volume
of ice will destroy the watering timer and void the warranty!
Cleaning and maintenance
The metal coarse filter protects the valve in the watering timer from larger impurities. Check for
dirt at regular intervals and wash it under clear water if necessary.
There are no serviceable parts in the watering timer – never open or disassemble it (except
for inserting/replacing the batteries as described in these operating instructions). Maintenance,
repair and associated dismantling may only be carried out by a specialist or a specialist work-
shop.
Use a dry, clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the watering timer.
Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as
these may damage the housing or prevent the product from functioning properly.
Disposal
a) Product
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with applicable
regulatory guidelines.
Remove the inserted batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
b) Batteries
You are required by law to return all used batteries. They must not be placed in household
waste.
Batteries/rechargeable batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with
these symbols to indicate that the disposal of them in the household waste is forbid-
den. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd=Cadmium, Hg=Mercury,
Pb=Lead (marked on batteries/rechargeable batteries, e.g., under the rubbish bin
symbol shown to the left).
Used (rechargeable) batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our
stores or wherever (rechargeable) batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
