Irrigation Recommendations

The following table provides irrigation recommendations based on irrigation type and planting type:

Setup and Operation

A. Mounting: Mount the water control unit vertically with the union nut facing upwards to prevent water from entering the battery compartment.

B. Power: The unit requires a 9V alkaline battery (IEC 6LR61). The battery life is approximately 1 year.

C. Connection: Connects to 26.5 mm G3/4" and 33.3 mm G1" threads.

D. Manual Operation: A video demonstrating setting processes is available.

E. Setting the Irrigation Program:

• Run Time: Set the desired irrigation duration (e.g., 1x = 1 hr, 2x = 2 hrs, up to 23x = 23 hrs).
• Frequency: Select the irrigation frequency (e.g., 8 hrs, 12 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs).
• Water Now: Option to water immediately for 30 minutes.
• OFF: Turns off the unit.

After setting the duration and frequency, the values are adopted after 5 seconds and confirmed by a green LED flashing 3 times. The first irrigation cycle begins at the set start time. You can delay the start time by pressing the +1h button within the initial 5-second window.

All settings are erased when the rotary dial is operated again to set a new program.
