5. Getting started
The Gardigo Solar Water Animal-repellent is powered by re-
chargeable batteries. The garden hose is connected with a
quick snap connector.
Inserting the batteries:
1. You will need two Mignon (AA) rechargeable batteries.
2. Open the cover of the battery compartment located be-
low the PIR sensor by sliding it downwards.
3. Open the battery compartment by lifting up the latch .
4. Insert the batteries. Pay attention to the polarity. The mi-
nus end of the battery always connects to the spring in the
battery compartment.
5. Close the battery compartment. Make sure that the rubber
sealing is in the groove and has not been twisted.
6. Slip the cover of the battery compartment back on.
Assembly:
1. Screw the plastic tube to the connector at the bottom of
the device.
2. Screw the metal spit to the plastic tube .
3. Screw the quick connector for the garden hose to the metal
spit .
4. Screw the spraying unit to the top of the device.
5. Align the solar panel
so that it receives direct sunlight
throughout the day. Insert the plug into the socket located
on the back of the device.
6. The repellent can now be set up in the garden or near the
pond.
7. The batteries may not be fully charged. Leave the device in
the sun for 2 – 3 hours and allow the batteries to charge.
Operation:
To set up the Water Repellent choose a spot that will oversee
the area you want to clear of animals. Make sure to look for a
position where the animals will walk across the sensors view-
ing area rather than walking directly towards the sensor. Make
sure that the view of the sensor is not obstructed by leaves
or foliage and that the surface of the sensor is clean. When
adjusting sensor sensitivity you need to consider what kind of
animal you want to scare away and the distance of detection
(see below). It is possible to adjust the angle and the distance
of the waterspout. Make sure that the sensor has a stable
stand, as the recoil during the waterspout can be quite strong.
• Place the ground spit into the ground. If the earth is too hard
we recommend to soften it by soaking it with water. The
sensor should not be higher than 1 m above the area that is
being controlled.
• If you want to place the device in an area that has no soil, we
recommend the use of an umbrella stand.
Note:
False alarms can be triggered by objects that are warmer
than the surroundings, by strong water movement, by rapid
temperature changes and by house pets. On very hot days it
may occur that an animal is not detected as the surrounding
temperature is equal to that of the body temperature. This
function is normal for a PIR sensor.
• Connect your garden hose to the quick connector on the
spike . Make sure that the hose and all connections are in
good condition and that there is no leakage. Make sure that
there is no sand or other debris is in the garden hose.
• If you do not want to use the second outlet in the spike, then
close this with the supplied cap I.
• You should check the function of the device, before opening
the water tap.
• Switch the device to position 9 and wave your hand in front
of the motion sensor. If you hear a silent click, then the
device has been activated and the valve for the water has
switched. Open your water tap to full.
