Setup and Installation

Initial Power-On

For first-time use, press and hold the OK button on the device for approximately 5 seconds until the full screen display activates.

Assembling the Drip System

The system is designed for simple installation without the need for heating or softening tubes. Follow these steps:

1. Attach one end of the tubing to the filter and place the filter into your water container.
2. Insert the other end of the tubing into the water inlet (IN) port on the main unit.
3. Cut the remaining tubing to your desired lengths for connecting drippers.
4. Insert one end of the cut tubing into the water outlet (OUT) port on the main unit.
5. Connect the drippers by cutting the tubing at appropriate intervals and inserting the drippers.
6. Insert a plug into the end of the last dripper line to seal the system.

Tube Connection Guidelines

Ensure tubes are fully inserted into connectors to prevent leakage and ensure proper pump function. Insert the tube into the connector about 15mm (5/8"). To remove a tube, press the blue ring on the connector before pulling the tube out.

Mounting Options

The main unit can be mounted in two ways:

• Mounted on Wall: Use screws (not included) to secure the unit to a wall or fence.
• Mounted in Soil: Use the provided ground stake for easy insertion into soil.

Operating Instructions

Setting Watering Schedules

The system allows for customizable watering plans. You can set up to 3 watering plans per day (P1, P2, P3) with specific start times, durations, and frequencies.

• Watering Duration: Adjustable from 1 second to 90 minutes.
• Watering Frequency: Adjustable from 1 day to 14 days.
• To disable a watering plan, set its 'HOW OFTEN' parameter to OFF.

Adjusting Dripper Flow

The pressure-compensating drippers ensure even water distribution. You can adjust the flow rate of individual drippers to meet the specific needs of different plants.

Dual Power Options

The system is primarily solar-powered. For periods of insufficient sunlight, especially during autumn and winter or for indoor use, the device can be charged via its USB port.

Maintenance

Pump Longevity

The system features a premium quality pump designed for consistent water delivery over an extended period, even after 3 years of continuous use. The pump delivers 800 ml/min.

Water Resistance

The device has high water resistance, but it is important not to fully immerse the main unit in water. Ensure the unit is positioned where it will not be submerged.

Filter Cleaning

Regularly check and clean the water filter to prevent blockages and ensure optimal pump performance. A clogged filter can reduce water flow and strain the pump.

Troubleshooting

• No Water Flow: Check if the water source is empty. Ensure the filter is clean and not clogged. Verify all tube connections are secure and fully inserted. Check if the pump is running.
• Uneven Water Distribution: Adjust individual drippers to balance the flow. Ensure the water source is sufficiently elevated if gravity assist is desired, though the pump is designed for consistent pressure.
• Device Not Powering On: Ensure the device has sufficient charge. If solar charging, place it in direct sunlight. If indoors, connect it to a USB power source. Perform the initial power-on sequence (hold OK button for 5 seconds).
• Leakage: Re-check all tube connections, ensuring they are fully inserted (15mm or 5/8"). Ensure plugs are securely in place at the end of the lines.
• Watering Schedule Not Activating: Verify that the current time is set correctly. Ensure the watering plan's 'HOW OFTEN' setting is not set to OFF.
