Intended use [ Fig. 1 ]:
The Watering Controller is suitable for use indoors
and in outdoor locations protected against rain.
This Watering Controller is part of a garden
irrigation system. Recommended accessories:
the watering valve (24 V) Art. 1278, the valve
boxes Art. 1254 / 1255 and the connection cable
Art. 1280 and the cable clips Art. 1282.
These products allow you to set up fully automatic
irrigation systems, which can be designed to cater
for varying water requirements of different plant
areas and ensure that the entire system functions
correctly in case of insufficient water supply.
Compliance with the operating instructions provid-
ed by GARDENA is a prerequisite for proper use of
the Watering Controller.
Please note:
The Watering Controller must be used
only for controlling commercially available
24 V (AC) valves. The electric power con
sumption per channel must not exceed
600 mA (a GARDENA Irrigation Valve
Art. 1278 requires 150 mA).
1. SAFETY
IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use
and keep for future reference.
Watering Controller:
The Watering Controller must only be
operated with the 24V (AC) power supply
unit provided.
v
Protect the 24 V (AC) power supply unit from moisture
when connected.
The Watering Controller is not splash proof.
In order not to lose any data in the event of power failure,
an alkaline 9 V block battery (type 6LR61) must be used
for buffering data.
We recommend using batteries manufactured by Duracell
and Energizer (do not use recharge able batteries).

This product makes an electromagnetic field while
it operates. This field may under some conditions
interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly
injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical
implants to speak with their physician and the med
ical implant manufacturer before you operate the
product.
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also
a risk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep
toddlers away when you assemble the product.
