✅ SMART RAIN SENSOR

The device automatically detects rainfall and pauses scheduled watering to prevent overwatering. This solution generates real water savings by not wasting water when nature waters the soil itself. The system resumes operation according to the schedule as soon as the sensor area dries.

✅ UP TO 8 TIMER PROGRAMS

The controller allows setting up to 8 different schedules, enabling perfect adjustment of watering times to your garden's needs. You can freely configure start times and watering frequency for each program separately. This flexibility means one device can effectively manage both lawns and demanding pots or shrubs.

✅ SETTINGS MEMORY FUNCTION

The device has a built-in memory function that stores your parameters even during power interruptions. After turning back on, the controller restores the last saved start times and watering durations. This eliminates the tedious need to reprogram the entire system after every battery change.

✅ MANUAL WATERING MODE

This special function allows immediate water activation without interfering with previously saved automatic schedules. You can precisely set the manual session duration from 1 second up to 199 minutes. It's an ideal solution when you want to water plants additionally on an exceptionally hot day.

✅ SAFETY AND LOCK FEATURE

The button lock function protects against accidental setting changes by children or unauthorized persons. Simply hold the appropriate button for 3 seconds to activate LOCK mode and secure the control panel. This ensures uninterrupted device operation and the safety of your plants.

✅ CLEAR LCD DISPLAY

The large and clear screen shows all key information such as current time, battery status, and active program. Intuitive icons allow quick checking of the next watering cycle. Thanks to the clear interface, device configuration is simple and understandable for every user.

✔️ User Manual

1. Preparation and Installation

• Power supply: Insert two new 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Replace immediately if the low battery icon appears.
• Position: Mount the controller only in a vertical position.
• Connection: Screw the controller onto the tap, ensuring seal tightness and filter cleanliness.

2. Setting Time and Programs

• Current time: Press the SETUP button to set the current hour and minute using the + / - buttons, then confirm with OK.
• Programming (P1-P8):

1. Select the program number (e.g., P1) and press OK.
2. Set START TIME (start hour).
3. Set HOW LONG (duration: 1s – 199 min).
4. Set HOW OFTEN (frequency: every 1h – 23h or every 1 – 15 days).

• Confirmation: After setting all parameters, press OK to save the schedule.

️⚠️ KEY USAGE GUIDELINES

Remember the following rules to ensure your controller operates reliably for many seasons:

• Correct mounting position: The device must operate only in a vertical position; horizontal or inverted mounting is prohibited.
• Frost protection: Operating temperature is from 5°C to 45°C. In case of frost risk, turn off the device, remove batteries, drain water from pipes, and store in a dry, closed room.
• Regular filter maintenance: Regularly check and clean the inlet filter under running water. This prevents flow blockage and ensures proper water pressure during irrigation.
• Battery replacement: Use only new alkaline batteries and replace immediately when the low battery icon appears on the screen.
• Housing cleanliness: Use a soft cloth for cleaning. Never use aggressive chemicals or solvents that may damage the plastic.
• Damage warning: If the housing or any device parts are damaged, immediately turn off the controller.

❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Does the controller increase water pressure?

➡️ No, the controller does not generate pressure – it requires adequate pressure from the tap.

What pressure is needed for operation?

➡️ Minimum pressure is about 0.5 bar, but higher pressure is recommended for best results. Operation may be limited or fail if pressure is too low.

Does the device reduce water pressure?

➡️ Every controller of this type slightly restricts flow, which is normal.

Can the controller be powered by a gravity-fed barrel?

➡️ No, forced pressure is required to open the valve properly – water from a barrel alone (without a pump) will not suffice. The device requires pressure between 0.05 MPa and 0.8 MPa (0.5 to 8 bars).

Can I connect more than one hose?

➡️ No, the controller supports one line (1 hose outlet).

Can multiple watering schedules be set?

➡️ Yes, you can program up to 8 independent schedules.

Does it operate during rain?

➡️ No, the rain sensor automatically pauses watering.

Can I turn on water manually?

➡️ Yes, manual watering mode is available at any time.

Does it fit a standard garden tap?

➡️ Yes, it fits 3/4” and 1” threads (adapter included).

Is it suitable for drip irrigation?

➡️ Yes, it works well with drip irrigation systems.

Does the controller work with all sprinklers (e.g., pop-up sprinklers)?

➡️ For sprinklers requiring high pressure, performance depends on the installation and number of points, as the controller and water division may reduce efficiency.

Can I connect several sprinklers simultaneously?

➡️ Keep in mind that each additional sprinkler and the controller on the line cause natural pressure drop. Too many devices connected at once will weaken the stream, and sprinklers may fail to pop up. The number of sprinklers you can connect depends on your water system's pressure and capacity.
