6.1 Indstilling af aktuel tid og dag
Follow the on-screen instructions to set the current time and day of the week. This is crucial for accurate scheduling.
6.2 Programming Irrigation Schedules
The controller supports two main programming modes:
- Ugentlig programmering: Set specific days of the week for irrigation.
- Cyclic Programming: Set an irrigation cycle (e.g., every 2 days) regardless of the day of the week.
Use the programming buttons to navigate through the menu and set:
- Start Time(s)
- Duration of watering (in minutes)
- Frequency (specific days or cycle interval)
6.3 Manuel betjening
To manually turn the water on or off, use the dedicated manual operation button. This allows for immediate watering outside of the programmed schedule.
6.4 Regnforsinkelsesfunktion
Activate the rain delay function to temporarily suspend irrigation for a set period (e.g., 24, 48, 72 hours) after rainfall. This conserves water and prevents overwatering.
7. Vedligeholdelse
- Udskiftning af batteri: Replace the 9V alkaline battery annually, or when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Rensning: Clean the exterior of the controller with a damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Vinterisering: In freezing climates, remove the controller and valve from the irrigation system and store indoors to prevent freeze damage.
