Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Sainlogic Automatic Plant Waterer:

1. Prepare the Water Source: Place a water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or large container) near your plants. Ensure it is elevated if possible to aid water flow, though the system is designed to pump water.
2. Connect the Filter and Anti-siphon Valve: Attach the filter to one end of the tubing and place it into your water reservoir. Connect the anti-siphon valve to the other end of the tubing that will connect to the controller's inlet. The anti-siphon valve must be positioned at the highest point of the entire system to prevent backflow.
3. Connect Tubing to Controller: Connect the tubing from the water source to the "IN" port of the controller. Connect the remaining tubing to the "OUT" port of the controller.
4. Measure and Cut Tubing: Measure the required length of tubing for each plant. Cut the tubing using scissors or a sharp knife.
5. Install T-joints and Drippers: Insert T-joints into the main tubing at points where you want to branch off to individual plants. Attach smaller tubing segments from the T-joints to the drippers.
6. Place Drippers: Insert the drippers directly into the soil near the roots of each plant. Ensure they are securely placed.
7. Connect Soil Moisture Sensor: Plug the soil moisture sensor into the designated port on the controller. Insert the sensor probes into the soil of a representative plant.
8. Power On: Connect the Type-C cable to the controller and a suitable power source (e.g., USB adapter, power bank).

Operating Instructions

The Sainlogic Automatic Plant Waterer offers two primary operating modes: Humidity Mode and Timing Mode.

Controller Overview

Image: Detailed view of the 3.07" large LCD display on the Sainlogic controller, indicating: 1) Mode Display (Timing/Humidity/Manual), 2) Clock / 1st watering time, 3) Current Battery Capacity, 4) Suspend, 5) Humidity Display "WET", 6) Watering Time, 7) Interval Time Between Each Watering.

Image: Close-up of the Sainlogic controller's control dial and buttons, illustrating their functions: ON (Turn the device on), OFF (Turn the device off), SET CLOCK (Set Current Time), START TIME (Set the first watering timer), HOW LONG (Set the watering duration), HOW OFTEN (Set the watering frequency).

Humidity Mode (Smart Auto Watering)

In Humidity Mode, the system uses the soil moisture sensor to detect soil dryness. It will automatically water until the soil becomes wet, and the screen displays "WET". The maximum watering duration in this mode is 30 minutes.

1. Turn the dial to the "Humidity" setting.
2. The system will now monitor soil moisture. When the soil is dry, it will initiate watering.
3. Watering will stop automatically once the sensor detects sufficient moisture ("WET" displayed).

Image: Diagram explaining the Smart Soil Moisture Monitor function. It shows that if the soil is wet, the device won't water. If dry, it waters until the screen displays "WET". An example schedule shows daily humidity detection and smart watering at 11:00 AM.

Timing Mode (Programmable Timer)

In Timing Mode, you can set specific watering schedules based on time and frequency.

1. Turn the dial to "SET CLOCK" to set the current time. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust and 'OK/C/S' to confirm.
2. Turn the dial to "START TIME" to set the desired time for the first watering cycle.
3. Turn the dial to "HOW LONG" to set the duration of each watering cycle (up to 30 minutes).
4. Turn the dial to "HOW OFTEN" to set the frequency of watering (e.g., every 1 day, every 2 days, up to 7 days).
5. Turn the dial to "ON" to activate the programmed schedule.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sainlogic Automatic Plant Waterer.

• Clean the Filter: Periodically check and clean the water filter to prevent blockages and ensure smooth water flow. Rinse it under running water.
• Inspect Tubing and Drippers: Check the tubing and drippers for any kinks, blockages, or damage. Clear any debris that may accumulate.
• Water Reservoir: Keep the water reservoir clean to prevent algae growth and sediment buildup. Refill as needed.
• Controller Cleaning: Wipe the controller with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the controller in water.
• Winter Storage: If storing the system for an extended period or during freezing temperatures, drain all water from the tubing and controller. Store in a dry, frost-free location.
