DANGER!
There is a risk of explosion if batteries are
not replaced in the proper manner.
See 6. STORAGE for information on how
to dispose of used batteries.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
In order to stop the Water Control from failing
because of a weak battery if you are away for
a long time, the battery must be replaced when
the battery display flashes yellow.
The batteries should not be removed while water
ing (leads to continuous watering).
Setting up
WARNING!
The Water Control must not be used indoors.
v
Only use the Water Control outdoors.
The Water Control may only be set up vertically
with the sleeve nut to the top to prevent water
penetrating into the battery compartment.
The minimum water output to ensure that the
Water Control functions correctly is 20 – 30 l/h.
For example, at least 10 15 x 2litre Drip Heads
are required to control the MicroDripSystem.
The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C.
v
Only use clear fresh water.
The minimum operating pressure is 0.5 bar,
the maximum operating pressure is 12 bar.
Avoid tensile strain.
v
Do not pull the hose connected to the
Water Computer.
2. FUNCTION
Water Control:
The Water Control is controlled automatically with the GARDENA
smart App. Sprinklers, a sprinkler system or a drip head watering
system can be used for watering.
The Water Control carries out watering fully automatically according
to the set program and can therefore also be used during holidays.
Early in the morning or late in the evening, evaporation and therefore
water consumption is lowest.
