HOW TO ASSEMBLE

Before you start - Plan the layout of plants & water tubing to solar controller

1. Arrange plants at desired positions.
2. Lay Main Line tubing in front of plants.
3. A small accessory, adding it to Water Outlet for Anti-siphoning.
4. Connect the water filter to the inlet.

MAIN LINE WATER TUBE:

1. Mark plant positions on Main Line water tube section (tape or bread ties).
2. Cut tubing with scissors at plant location.
3. Insert T-Joints into Main Line water tubing at each plant position.

LATERAL LINE:

1. Arrange short Lateral Lines between water Main Line and plants.
2. Install end of Lateral Line onto Main Line T-Joint.
3. Install Drip-Stake in other end of Lateral Line.
4. Insert Drip-Stake into plant.

Note:

• TIP: Hot water will soften end of water tube enough to fit over T-Joint barb and tighten as it cools. Lightly soap end of selected T-Joint.
• Dip tube end in hot water 10-15 seconds. Dry tube end and fingers. Use repeated pushing movements to fit warmed tube end completely over T-Joint barb.

HOW TO USE

Water Supply Container Setup:

1. Connect the water sensor and place the probe and water filter in the water.
2. Turn on the machine.

Two ways installation:

• Connect the water sensor and place the probe and water filter in the water. And turn on the machine.

WATERING PROGRAM TABLE

ON/OFF button - Program Start
MODE button - Program Interval & Volume - Blue LED on Solar Controller

Water Volume dispensed: 600 ml/minute.

Drip-Stake: Example = 12 Liters to 20 Drip-Stakes = 600 ml water dispensed per plant.

To Estimate Water Volume per plant: Divide water flow (600ml/minute x 20 minutes = 12000ml or 12 liters or 3.2gal) by # Drip-Stakes.

Unit is equipped with enough water tubing & Drip Stakes to water up to 30 plants.

Reduce number of Lateral Lines & Drip-Stakes to dispense more water to each plant - see table.

Increase number of Lateral Lines and Drip-Stakes to dispense less water to each plant - see table.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

SOLAR CONTROLLER

The unit is equipped with a signal that indicates the solar controller needs to be charged. When the power of the system is low, the ON/OFF button will flash red. After 30 seconds the red light and the blue LED program light will turn off. At this time the system enters the standby state. Later when exposed to light again and the product gets fully charged the system will automatically return to the working program with the blue LED program light and the system will perform a watering and re-time.

WATER LEVEL SENSOR

The unit is equipped with a sensor that detects the water supply is low or blocked. When the water level is low the system will alarm. The beeper sounds twice a minute and the MODE button will flash GREEN. At night, the RED indicator light will flash without a beep.

The cause of this may be that the water pump or the filter is blocked. Please clean them. You can unclog the pump by injecting some warm water into the pump inlet with a syringe. (the syringe is not included.) It may also be that there is no water in the container. Please add water.

Program will resume. After troubleshooting please restart the product, the system will perform a watering and re-time.

Note:

1. Solar Controller must be above plant level and facing sun.
2. Solar Controller buttons must face toward the ground when installed.
3. Tube ends must be completely over T-Joint barb.
4. Water Container must be below level of plants.
5. Water Sensor Probe rests at bottom of water container. Be certain your plant containers / trays are LARGE ENOUGH to contain the programmed volume of water and water spillover will not cause damage to surroundings.
6. It is recommended to install more than 5 drippers, if there are less than 5 drippers, the water flow will be slow, blockage may be detected, and an alarm will appear.
7. The anti-siphon installation position must be higher than the bucket.
