Gardena 1030 manual Changing the Setting

9.3 Examples

Current time: 9:00 am.

The watering program should run as follows:

Example a) Every day at 9:00 for 10 minutes.

Example b) 3 x a day (= every 8 hours) for 2 minutes. at 10:00, at 18:00 and at 2:00.

Example c) Every 3 days at 16:00 for 60 minutes.

The timer should be programmed as follows:

	Step 1	Step 2	Step 3
	Setting	Setting	Start Time ▲
	Frequency	Run Time	key
Example a)	24 h	10 min.	do not press
Example b)	8 h	2 min.	press once
Example c)	3 rd	60 min.	press 7 times

The watering time has now been changed. The water timer will now automatically run the required watering programs.

9.4 Turning off the watering programs

The watering programs can be switched off for any period of time e.g. in periods of bad weather as follows:

1.Turn the Run Time knob 3 clockwise to Off.

2.To restart the watering e.g. at the end of the bad weather period, turn the Run Time knob 3 back to the required watering time.

Note : The starting time you previously selected remains unchanged so that your garden is watered at the usual times (the times you pro- grammed).

9.5 Manual On/Off operation

In addition to watering your garden fully automatically, the Water Timer can be operated manually by turning the Run Time knob 3 to On or Off. Automatic watering programs during this time are not executed or inter- rupted. After manually opening / closing the valve (On/Off) you can once again select a watering time. A watering starting time which you deter- mined earlier remains unchanged.

“On” position

In the On position the valve is opened after a delay of 2 seconds and then automatically closed again after 30 minutes. If the water timer is switched to On during an automatic watering program the valve stays open and is closed after 30 minutes.

“Off” position

In the Off position, an open valve is closed after a delay of 2 seconds.

10. Changing the Setting

The time and the watering time can be changed using the control knob

(Run Time).

The changes are accepted after approx. 5 seconds and this is signalled acoustically by a double beep. If the water timer is not reset the original starting time remains unchanged.

Making changes during watering

You can change the watering time (Run Time) during an automatic watering program as follows:

. If the elapsed watering time is shorter than the new watering time you have selected, then the new watering time is valid.

Example:

Old Run Time = 10 minutes, changed after 5 minutes to 30 minutes. The total watering time is then 30 minutes.

. If the watering time which has already expired is longer than the new watering time, the water flow is interrupted in the next minute.

If you have already chosen the starting time (Start Time / Run Time already set) any changes you make to the watering frequency (Frequency) are active as soon as the next watering program starts.

If you have forgotten the current start time, you should reset the Water Timer and then re-enter the watering data.
