Gardena 1189 manual Putting the Rain Sensor into Operation, Mounting the base 2 Fig. F, Example

Mounting the base 2 (Fig. F 4)

1.Alternatively the Rain Sensor can be screwed on a firm ground,

e.g. on the roof of the house, a stake or onto plates:

Screw the base 2 without the spike onto the receptacle 5.

2.Secure the Rain Sensor using two screws e.g. on plates or similarly firm ground.

Note: Make sure that the Rain Sensor is inserted in a perpendi- cular position (90°).

Controlling a watering system (Art. no. 1242 / 9 V) consisting of several watering lines by using one Rain Sensor (Fig. I)

When controlling the watering system consisting of several watering lines, the precipitation may be controlled centrally via one Rain Sensor:

Prior to the watering lines, a central valve box B, Art. No. 1254 is installed and connected with the Rain Sensor C (see fig. I). However, make sure, that the watering data of the respective watering valve responds with the data set at the central valve box.

Example:

The following data are set at the watering valves:

		Start-Time	Duration	Cycle
Watering Valve	a	18:00 h	30 minutes	daily
Watering Valve	b	20:00 h	20 minutes	every 2nd day
Watering Valve	c	22:00 h	1 hour	every 3rd day
Watering Valve	d	24:00 h	1 hour	daily

These watering data must also be set at the central watering valve B, in order to prevent watering despite rainfall.

6. Putting the Rain Sensor into Operation

Connect the Rain Sensor to a GARDENA water controller using the plug on the accompanying cable 3 (see also the operating instructions for the respective water controller).

Important: When laying the cable make sure that it is not in a place where it could be damaged or cause you or others to trip over it. When laying the cable underground we recommend laying the cable e.g. in a bed of sand.
