influence of the weather, e.g. against too strong rain or direct spraying with
the water hose.
3. Now choose a sunny, shadow-free place for the solar module. The solar
module may be inserted into the ground with the ground spike or screwed-
on with the enclosed holder.
4. Lay the cable for the solar module carefully and without tripping hazards.
Connect the plug of the cable on the solar module with the associated
socket on the control unit (1). The integrated battery is charged in case of
adequately intensive solar radiation onto the solar module.
5. Remove the 2 protective caps from both nozzles for inflowing and
outflowing water.
6. Cut off approx. 20 centimeters from the (transparent) suction hose (2) and
attach this short piece onto the nozzle for outflowing water. (2).
7. In this short piece of hose, please insert the T-reducer with its larger side
(3).
8. On the nozzle for inflowing water, please attach the remaining (transparent)
suction hose auf (4). This hose has to be laid up to the reservoir tank for
water, e.g. a rainwater barrel (5).
9. Insert the suction filter (if not already assembled) onto the suction hose
(6). This filter keeps coarse dirt away from the pump. Throw this filter into
the filled water barrel.
Note: Please don´t install the filter on the bottom from the water reservoir. This
prevents the pump from sucking sand grains or similar and losing power.
10. Now take the black float switch and also put it into the filled water barrel (7).
Now insert the plug of the float cable into the socket on the control unit (8).
The pump is working if the float is upright in the water. In case it should lay
on its side due to the lack of water, then the pump will be deactivated and
it is required to refill an adequate amount of water.
11. Cut off approx. 10 centimeters from the (black)
irrigation hose and insert this short piece onto
the free end of the T-reducer (9) which points
upwards. In this short piece, please insert
the (blue) ventilation valve (10). This valve
prevents the uncontrolled running on of the water.
Note: Here, please make sure that the valve is inserted with the right side up!
12. With the remaining piece of the irrigation hose, the
15 hose holders (11), the 15 black T-pieces (12)
and the 15 water drippers (13) you are now able to
install the desired distribution grid for the irrigation.
The dripping volume is fixed to 2 l/h.
13. With the multistage selector switch (14) on the housing
you may set the time of operation of the pump. The pump
pumps at the break of dawn and at nightfall depending on
the set value. It may be selected in 6 stages in a range
of 30 seconds (0.5 min) up to a maximum of 12 minutes.
In the position „Test“ it is possible to test the pump or
pump the air out of the hoses when the pump is put into
operation for the first time.

3. Function and intended use
The solar irrigation system is intended for outdoor use. With this system it is
possible to irrigate the plants in the garden, in the greenhouse, in the hotbed,
on the balcony or on the raised bed with a maximum of 15 water drippers. The
irrigation is performed once a day at the break of dawn and once at nightfall. The
operating time of the pump may be set between 0.5 minutes and 12 minutes.
The dripping volume is fixed to 2 l/h.
Thus, you have the ideal solution for an automatic and network-independent
irrigation of your potted plants or vegetable bed. The integrated diaphragm
pump sucks water from a depth of up to 2 meters e.g. from a rainwater barrel.
The crystalline solar module charges the integrated battery pack during the day
and sunshine.
The means complete independence from the mains current!
