1. Setting Watering Frequency

For each zone, use the 'FREQUENCY' dial to select how often watering occurs:

• Options include: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours.
• You can also select 'SEMANAL/WEEKLY' for watering once per week.

2. Setting Watering Duration

For each zone, use the 'DURACIÓN' dial to select the length of each watering cycle:

• Options include: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes.

3. Independent Zone Programming

Each zone (ZONE 1 and ZONE 2) operates independently. This means you can set different watering frequencies and durations for each connected hose, allowing for tailored irrigation based on specific plant needs or garden areas.

4. Delay Function

The programmer incorporates a time delay function. Refer to the specific markings on the frequency dial for details on how to activate and adjust this feature, which allows you to postpone the start of a watering cycle.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the LED indicator signals a low battery, replace both AA 1.5V batteries promptly to ensure uninterrupted operation and accurate programming. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for instructions.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the programmer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the unit in water, as this can damage the electronic components.

Winter Storage

Before the first frost or during periods of extended non-use, disconnect the programmer from the tap and hoses. Remove the batteries. Store the unit in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage from freezing water.

Troubleshooting

• No Water Flow:
  Ensure the outdoor tap is fully open. Check that hoses are not kinked or blocked. Verify that the batteries are not depleted.
• Incorrect Watering Schedule:
  Double-check the 'FREQUENCY' and 'DURACIÓN' dial settings for both Zone 1 and Zone 2. Ensure the batteries have sufficient power.
• Leaks from Connections:
  Ensure all connections (to the tap and to the hoses) are tightened securely. Inspect washers for damage and replace if necessary.
• Low Battery Indicator:
  If the LED indicator flashes or remains on, replace both AA 1.5V batteries immediately.
