11. Battery

11.1 Status indicator

If the battery capacity falls below a certain level, a warning signal sounds every 15 seconds. The programs you have set are not run. The water flow cannot be opened manually. If a valve is open, however, it will be closed.

11.2 Changing the battery

If the battery capacity is too low (the warning signal beeps every

15 seconds), you must change the battery. To do this, the water timer must be removed from the tap.

Important : Changing the battery deletes the data you have set. To change the battery:

1.Insert the battery in the battery compartment 5.

2.Set the Run Time control knob 3 to Reset.

3.Reset the watering data as described in “Setting the watering data”.

If the Run Time knob 3 is not turned to Reset, 5 seconds after the battery was inserted the current Run Time 3 and Frequency 2 settings shall be accepted. This is confirmed by a double beep.

Note: The time the battery was changed is taken to be the starting time. To ensure that the water timer works properly we recommend that you insert a new battery at the beginning of every gardening season, or at the latest after a year.

Important! Please dispose of used batteries properly at the appropriate communal waste disposal site. Only dispose of batteries when flat.

12. Notes on Safety and Operation

. The minimum water output to ensure that the Water Computer functions correctly is 20 - 30 l/h.

For example, at least 10 x 2-litre Drip Heads are required to control the Micro-Drip-System.

. The Water Timer must be stored in a dry place away from frost before the frosty season begins.

. The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C.

. The minimum operating pressure is 1 bar, the maximum opera- ting pressure is 12 bar.

. For functional safety reasons, only use a 9 V alkali-manganese battery.

. The water timer beeps at intervals to indicate that the battery capacity is too low until the battery is flat. When the water timer is beeping the valve is no longer opened. To ensure that the water timer works properly a battery with low capacity must be exchan- ged.

. We recommend fitting the water timer with a new battery at the beginning of every gardening season or at the latest after a year.

. The functional safety of the water timer depends on the capability of the battery. The water timer will only run for approx. 1 year if the new alkali-manganese battery has a nominal voltage of at least 9 V. Check the battery before you buy it.

. To prevent water penetrating the battery compartment, the Water

Timer may only be installed in a perpendicular position with the sleeve nut pointing upwards.

. The control unit must be attached to the Water Timer during operation.

. Warning! Only use the water timer outdoors.

The water timer is not approved for indoor use.

. Check the filter in the sleeve nut A regularly and clean if neces- sary.

. Avoid tensile strain. Do not pull the hose connected to the Water

Timer.

. Only use clear fresh water.
