3. Opsætning og installation

Follow these steps to set up your RAINPOINT Automatic Watering System:

A visual guide detailing the installation process from measuring tubes to inserting drippers.

1. Measure and Cut Tubing: Determine the required length of tubing for each plant and cut it using scissors. Ensure the tubing is long enough to reach from the pump to each plant's pot.
2. Fastgør beslag: Connect the T-barb fittings and straight barb fittings to create your desired irrigation layout. These fittings allow you to branch off the main tube to individual plants.
3. Install Micro Drip Emitters: Attach a micro drip emitter to the end of each tube segment that will go into a plant pot.
4. Installer filter: Insert the provided filter at the end of the inlet pipe, which will be submerged in your water reservoir. This prevents debris from entering the pump.
5. Installer kontraventil: Install the check valve at the outlet pipe near the pump. This prevents water from flowing back and helps prevent siphoning.
6. Hook the Device to the Tank: Use the flexible clip to securely attach the main unit to the edge of your water reservoir (e.g., a bucket or container). Ensure the pump's inlet is submerged in the water.
7. Insert Drippers into Soil: Place the micro drip emitters into the soil of each potted plant, ensuring they are close to the plant's roots for efficient watering.

Strømforsyning til enheden:

The system offers two power options:

• USB-opladning: Connect the included 1.2M micro USB cable to the device and a USB power adapter (not included).
• Batteriopladning: Insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. If USB power fails, the system will automatically switch to battery power.

The system can be powered via USB or 4 AA batteries, providing flexible power options.

Vigtige retningslinjer for placering:

Visual instructions for optimal pump and plant height relative to the water source.

• Sørg for, at pumpen er højere than the water container to prevent siphoning issues.
• Plants can be higher than the pump, but the maximum height difference should not exceed 2.5 meters.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

The RAINPOINT Automatic Watering System allows for precise control over your plant's watering schedule.

The system's display clearly shows options for setting watering duration and frequency.

Setting Watering Schedule:

• Watering Duration (HOW LONG): Set the amount of time the pump will run for each watering cycle. This can be adjusted from 6 seconds to 30 minutes.
• Watering Frequency (HOW OFTEN): Set how often the watering cycles will occur. This can be adjusted from 1 hour to 7 days.
• Forsinkelsestid: If needed, you can delay the next watering schedule for 1 to 24 hours. This is useful during rainy periods or when plants do not require immediate watering.

Use the control buttons on the device to navigate through the settings and adjust the values. Refer to the display for current settings and battery status.

6. Fejlfinding

Hvis du støder på problemer med dit RAINPOINT automatiske vandingssystem, kan du se følgende almindelige problemer og løsninger:

• Ingen vandgennemstrømning:
  • Check if the water pump is properly submerged in the water reservoir.
  • Ensure the filter is not clogged. Clean if necessary.
  • Verify that the tubing is not kinked or blocked.
  • Check the power source (batteries or USB) and ensure the device is powered on.
• Ujævn vandfordeling:
  • Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er sikre, og at der ikke er lækager.
  • Adjust the placement of micro drip emitters to ensure even distribution to all plants.
  • For plants at different heights or distances, consider adjusting the flow rate at individual drippers if your setup allows, or ensure the main pump is positioned correctly relative to the plants (refer to placement guidelines in Section 3).
• Siphoning (Water continues to flow after pump stops):
  • Ensure the pump unit is positioned højere than the water reservoir. This is crucial to prevent gravity-induced siphoning.
  • Verify that the check valve is correctly installed at the outlet pipe near the pump. The check valve is designed to prevent backflow.
• Enheden reagerer ikke:
  • Replace batteries or ensure the USB power connection is stable.
  • If the device has been exposed to extreme temperatures, allow it to return to normal operating temperature.
