• Interruttore modalità (pulsante M): Toggles between Manual and Automatic watering modes.
• Interval Time (Right Display): Sets how often the system waters. Adjustable from 1-23 hours or 1-30 days. (0.1=1H, 0.5=5H, 1.0=10H...2.3=23H; 1=1D, 3=3D....30=30D)

3.2. Setting Watering Schedule

Programming the system is straightforward. Here’s an exampon:

Figure 3.2: Illustration of setting the watering time and interval time on the control panel.

If your plants need watering once every day at 9 o'clock for 30 seconds each time:

1. Imposta il Tempo di irrigazione to "30" (for 30 seconds).
2. Imposta il Intervallo di tempo to "1" (for 1 day).

After 5 seconds of setting, the system will automatically enter the first automatic watering mode based on your programmed schedule.

3.3. Watering Method

This system is designed for bottom watering, which allows water to penetrate deeply into the soil, delivering moisture directly to the plant roots. This method promotes healthier root development and reduces water evaporation.

3.4. Recommended Watering Frequencies

The ideal watering frequency varies by plant type. The system allows for precise volume control to prevent under-watering or over-watering.
