3. Safety Information

• Do not immerse the main control unit in water.
• Ensure the water source bucket is placed below the plants to prevent a siphon effect when the pump is off.
• Use only 5V Micro-USB power adapters.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use with corrosive liquids.

4. Setup

Follow these steps for quick and easy installation:

1. Prepare the Tubing: For easier assembly, soak the tube in warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable.
2. Connect the Main Unit:
   • Attach one end of the main tube to the "IN" port of the control unit.
   • Attach the other end of the main tube to the water source (e.g., a bucket of water). Ensure the filter is attached to the end of the tube submerged in the water source.
   • Attach the output tube to the "OUT" port of the control unit.
3. Distribute Drippers:
   • Cut the output tube to desired lengths.
   • Use T-joints and cross-joints to create branches for each plant.
   • Insert a dripper into the end of each branch, positioning it near the base of the plant.
   • Use tube ends to seal any unused branches.
4. Position the Water Source: Place the water source bucket on a level surface, ensuring it is below the level of your plants. This prevents unintended siphoning.
5. Power the Unit: Insert 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment or connect the Micro-USB cable to a 5V power adapter and plug it into the unit.

The display shows "HOW LONG" (watering duration) and "HOW OFTEN" (watering frequency). Buttons include SET, UP, and DOWN.

5.2. Setting the Automatic Watering Schedule

1. Set Watering Duration:
   • Press the SET button once. The "HOW LONG" value will start blinking.
   • Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the watering duration from 1 to 99 seconds, or 2 to 15 minutes.
   • Press SET again to confirm and move to the next setting.
2. Set Watering Frequency:
   • The "HOW OFTEN" value will start blinking.
   • Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the frequency from 1 to 23 hours, or 1 to 30 days.
   • Press SET again to confirm and save the schedule. The display will show "SET OK".

The system will now automatically water your plants according to the programmed schedule. The settings are stored in memory and will not be lost if power is interrupted.

5.3. Manual Watering

To water immediately without affecting the programmed schedule:

• Press and hold the UP button for a few seconds. The pump will activate and water the plants.
• Release the UP button to stop manual watering.

5.4. Low Power and Water Detection

• Low Battery: The battery indicator on the LCD display will illuminate when the AA batteries are low and need replacement.
• Low Water Level: If the water level in your reservoir is too low, the system will stop watering and emit an audible beep to alert you to refill the water source.

6. Power Modes

The Landrip DT03 offers flexible power options:

• AA Batteries: The unit can be powered by 4 AA batteries (not included).
• Micro-USB: The unit can be powered via a Micro-USB cable (included) connected to a 5V power adapter (e.g., a phone charger).

For continuous operation and as a backup, it is recommended to use both power sources. If the USB power is interrupted, the system will automatically switch to AA battery power (if batteries are installed) to ensure uninterrupted watering.

7. Maintenance

• Clean the Filter: Regularly check and clean the filter at the end of the intake tube to prevent blockages and ensure consistent water flow.
• Inspect Drippers: Periodically check drippers for any blockages, especially if using hard water, and clean them as needed.
• Water Source: Ensure the water source is clean to prevent sediment from entering the system.
• Storage: If storing the unit for an extended period, remove the batteries and drain any remaining water from the tubes and pump.
