5. Setup

5.1. Choosing a Location

Select a location for the control unit where the solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. The unit should be placed near your water source (e.g., a bucket or reservoir) and within reach of the plants to be watered.

5.2. Mounting the Control Unit

1. Using the provided screws and wall plugs, mount the control unit securely on a wall or sturdy surface. Ensure the solar panel faces upwards towards the sun.
2. Alternatively, the unit can be placed on a flat surface if stable and exposed to sunlight.

5.3. Connecting the Water Source

1. Place a water reservoir (e.g., a bucket) filled with clean water near the control unit.
2. Insert the filter end of the intake hose into the water reservoir, ensuring it reaches the bottom.
3. Connect the other end of the intake hose to the designated inlet port on the control unit.

5.4. Installing the Drip System

1. Connect the main irrigation tubing to the outlet port of the control unit.
2. Route the tubing to your plants. Use T-connectors to branch off the main line to individual plants.
3. Cut the tubing to appropriate lengths for each plant.
4. Insert an adjustable drip emitter into the end of each branch tube, positioning it near the base of the plant.
5. Secure the tubing and emitters using the provided stakes or clips to prevent displacement.
6. Cap any unused tubing ends with end caps to maintain pressure.

6. Operation

6.1. Initial Charge

Before first use, allow the control unit to charge in direct sunlight for at least 8 hours to ensure the internal battery is sufficiently powered.

6.2. Programming Watering Schedule

Refer to the specific instructions on the control unit's display and buttons for programming. Typically, you will set:

• Watering Frequency: How often the system waters (e.g., every 12 hours, daily, every 2 days).
• Watering Duration: How long the pump runs during each watering cycle (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes).

Tip: Start with shorter durations and observe your plants' moisture levels. Adjust as needed. Different plants have different water requirements.

6.3. Adjusting Drip Emitters

The drip emitters are adjustable. Rotate the cap on each emitter to increase or decrease the water flow rate to suit individual plant needs. Ensure water is delivered directly to the root zone.

6.4. Manual Watering

Most control units include a manual watering button. Press this button to initiate a watering cycle outside of the programmed schedule. The duration of manual watering may be preset or adjustable.

7. Maintenance

• Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris, ensuring efficient charging.
• Check Water Reservoir: Ensure the water reservoir is always filled. Do not let the pump run dry for extended periods.
• Clean Filter: Periodically remove and clean the intake filter in the water reservoir to prevent clogging.
• Inspect Tubing and Emitters: Check for any blockages, kinks, or leaks in the tubing and emitters. Clean or replace as necessary.
• Winter Storage: In freezing conditions, drain all water from the system and store the control unit and tubing indoors to prevent damage.
