Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off

Press the power button (usually the central 'Play/Pause' button) to turn the device on. The display will illuminate. To turn off, press and hold the power button.

Setting Water Volume

1. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the desired water volume. The display will show the set amount.
2. The device supports measurements in various units (e.g., liters, gallons, fluid ounces). Refer to the display for the current unit.

Memory Functions (m1, m2)

The AQiX device features two memory buttons (m1, m2) to store frequently used water volumes.

• To Save: Set the desired water volume using '+' and '-' buttons. Press and hold either 'm1' or 'm2' until the display confirms the setting is saved.
• To Recall: Briefly press 'm1' or 'm2' to load the saved water volume.

Dispensing Water

1. Once the desired water volume is set (either manually or recalled from memory), position the device over your mixing container.
2. Press the 'Play/Pause' button to start the water flow.
3. The device will automatically stop the water flow once the programmed volume has been dispensed.
4. To pause or manually stop the flow before the set volume is reached, press the 'Play/Pause' button again.

Manual Mode

For continuous flow or to override programmed settings, press the 'man' button. The device will dispense water as long as the 'Play/Pause' button is held down. Release the button to stop the flow.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• After each use, rinse the device with clean water to remove any material residue.
• Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the display and buttons are free from dirt and debris.

Storage

• Store the AQiX device in its sturdy hard shell case to protect it from damage.
• Keep the device in a dry, frost-free environment.
• For long-term storage, remove the AA batteries to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Device does not power on: Check if the AA batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Inaccurate water measurement: Ensure the device is properly connected to the water supply and there are no blockages in the flow path. Verify that the water pressure is within the recommended operating range.
• Water leakage: Inspect all hose connections for tightness. Check the quick connect adapter for proper seating and any damage.
• Water flow stops prematurely or does not start: Ensure the set volume is not zero. Check for kinks in the hose or insufficient water pressure.
