3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your drip irrigation extension accessories:

1. Prepare Tubing: Measure the required length of the water pipe for your setup. Cut the water pipe using the provided scissors.
2. Connect Fittings: To connect the tubing to T-Joint barbs and other fittings, soften the end of the water tube by dipping it in hot water. This makes it easier to fit over the barb. Applying a small amount of soap to the end of the T-Joint can also assist with insertion. The tube will tighten as it cools.
3. Install Drippers: Connect the drippers to the tubing at desired locations near your plants.
4. Install Filter: Place the filter into your water source (e.g., a bucket or reservoir) and connect it to the main water pipe.
5. Connect to Main Unit: Connect the water inlet pipe, outlet pipe, and water level detection wires to the main irrigation unit (if applicable, not included in this accessory kit).
6. Position Solar Panel (if applicable): If using with a solar-powered unit, ensure the solar panel is positioned at an adjustable angle to maximize sunlight exposure. The control panel should face downwards to protect it from direct weather exposure.

4. Operation

This accessory kit facilitates a simple irrigation setup without the need for extensive digging or plumbing. The design supports dividing water into up to 16 tributaries, making it suitable for various plant arrangements.

Watering Mode Settings:

• You do not need to manually set a starting time; the system automatically initiates the timer once a watering mode is selected.
• If the machine is powered off after a watering mode is set, the starting time will reset. The timer will restart from the moment the machine is turned on again.
• The system retains the selected watering mode in its memory even after being turned off, but it does not save the specific starting time.

Getting Started:

To begin, connect the drip irrigation tubing as instructed in the setup section. Then, set your desired watering duration and interval based on your plant's specific needs. For example, if you configure the system to water for 5 minutes every day at 7:00 a.m., it will automatically water your plants at that time without further intervention.

Test Mode:

If the water reservoir is empty or the hose is not properly submerged, the system will emit an audible warning. To verify proper water flow, press the power button once to activate a 3-minute test mode. Press the button again at any time to exit the test mode.

5. Maintenance

Automatic Water Level Alarm:

The system is equipped with an automatic water level alarm to alert you when the water source is low. To ensure accurate readings and prevent false alarms, regularly clean the water level sensor to remove any dirt buildup.

6. Troubleshooting

Low Power Alert:

When the system detects low power, the hour button on the control panel will flash to indicate that the battery requires recharging. Simply connect a Type-C cable to recharge the unit and ensure your irrigation schedule remains uninterrupted.

Out of Water Alarm:

If the water source runs dry, the watering setting button will flash continuously, and the device will emit an audible alarm. This alerts you to refill the water source in a timely manner, which helps prevent damage to the pump.
