INSTALLATION

Do not install the water timer inside valve boxes, below ground level or indoors. Do not use the water timer with chemicals or liquids other than water. Do not use the water timer with operating pressures lower than 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) or higher than 10 bar (145 psi).

Connect the timer to the tap.

Connect the hose on the watering line.

FITTING THE BATTERY

Press the two side buttons to open the timer.

Insert a new, branded 9V alkaline battery.

Important: remember to turn on the water tap.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

At the time you want irrigation to start, reset the timer by pressing both buttons together.

Press the green button to start watering.

Once the watering time is judged to be sufficient (min. 1 minute, 60 minutes maximum), press the red button to shut off the flow.

The timer will store the duration of the watering cycle and repeat the programme every day at the same time.

The timer runs one watering cycle every 24 hours. Important: always remember to press the red button. If you forget to press STOP the first time the timer is programmed, it will irrigate for 1 hour on that day and then for 5 minutes only on the days thereafter.

CHANGING A WATERING PROGRAMME

To delete the programme, press the red and the green button simultaneously.

This means you can set a new programme at another time and for a different duration.

RAIN SENSOR

You can connect the Rain Sensor (code 90915) to the timer.

Remove the bridge connector on the timer.

Insert the Rain Sensor connector.

If it starts to rain, the Rain Sensor will not stop the irrigation cycle in progress but it will stop the subsequent cycles if the level of water inside it reaches a sufficient level (at least 5 mm of rainfall). If you are not using the Rain Sensor, leave the bridge connector inserted.
Warning: if neither the jumper nor the Rain Sensor connector are connected, the timer will not run any irrigation programmes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the filter at the end of each season and check it regularly.

Turn off the water tap and loosen the screw collar, turning anticlockwise.

Loosen the 3/4" screw collar of the tap connector, turning clockwise.

Remove the filter. Rinse the filter clean under running water. After washing, reassemble all parts as before.

To clean the internal components properly, please see the diagram showing the mechanical parts to be disassembled/ reassembled at the end of the season .

At the end of the season, before the winter frosts, disconnect the timer from the tap.

Remove the battery.

Store the timer in a sheltered place, away from damp, where the temperature does not fall below 3°C.
