and
current time and day of the week (see 5. Operation "Setting the
time and day of the week" ).
The master channel is a channel that can be operated at the same
Master Channel
time as other channels. This is important, for example, if you want
to use a pump to supply your irrigation system with water and if
Art.1275
the pump should always be activated each time an irrigation valve
Art. 1273
is activated.
The pump can be operated by connecting it to the Master
Channel with the GARDENA pump control art. no. 1273.

to the cable of the Watering Controller connected to terminal
COM (C).
The maximum permissible distance between the Watering
Controller and the valve depends on the cross-section of the
connection cable. For a distance of 30 m, the cross section is
