6. Connect the timer to your tap using the ¾" tap connector or by
using the ½"-adaptor, if needed. Note! Do not tighten too hard,
as the coupling seals can be damaged by over tightening.
7. Connect the irrigation hose to the hose coupling (7).
Operating instructions
Note: The timer is only designed to be used with cold water at
a max pressure of 6 bar (90 psi). If your water pressure is higher,
then a pressure regulator must be used together with the timer.
1. Set the [ FREQUENCY ] to the desired irrigation interval, from
once an hour to once a week.
2. Set the [ RUN TIME ] to the desired irrigation time, from 1 min to
120 min.
3. Turn on the tap. Note: Irrigation will start after the time
interval [ FREQUENCY ] you have set. So if you have set the
[ FREQUENCY ] to 1 hour then irrigation will begin one hour after
you input the setting and then irrigate once every hour thereafter.
4. If the [ RUN TIME ] setting is set to ON the water will be allowed
to flow constantly. If the [ RUN TIME ] setting is set to OFF
the water will be shut off constantly.
Irrigation setup examples
• To set your watering settings to once a day:
Set the [ FREQUENCY ] setting to 24.
• To set your watering settings to twice a day:
Set the [ FREQUENCY ] setting to 12.
• To set your watering settings to every other day:
Set the [ FREQUENCY ] setting to 48.
• To set your watering settings to once a week:
Set the [ FREQUENCY ] setting to Week.
Using the delay control to set the irrigation
start time
You can delay the irrigation start time in 1-hour intervals from
1 to 12 hours by depressing the irrigation control (4). Each press
corresponds to 1 hour of delay.
Example: If you input your settings at 1:15 pm and you want your
irrigation to start at 3:15 pm then you would press the delay control
twice (1 press = 1 h delay).
Battery status indicator
Battery status (3) indications:
• Flashing: Functioning normally but the batteries are low and
should be changed as soon as possible.
• Solid: Batteries will soon become flat and water flow will be
shut off.
• Flashing-solid-off: Batteries are completely flat.
Note: Inserting new batteries does not trigger the battery indicator
to activate or shine. The battery indicator only indicates low and
extremely low battery status, not when batteries are new or have
been completely flat for a time.
Care and maintenance
• Clean the timer using a lightly moistened cloth. Use only mild
cleaning agents, never solvents or corrosive chemicals. Keep all
water away from the battery chamber as water can leak in and
cause short circuiting.
• Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable batteries with
non-rechargeable batteries.
• Never try to open the housing or modify the timer in any way.
This can lead to irreparable damage.
• Disconnect the timer from the tap and remove the batteries if
the timer is not to be used for an extended period.
