7. Maintenance, Care, Storage

7.1 Storage

The cable-plug-connection of the Rain Sensor must be disconnected from the water controller and the Rain Sensor removed from the ground before the frosty season begins.

Over the winter, clean and store the Rain Sensor in a dry and dust-free place away from frost.

7.2 Cleaning (Fig. G)

To ensure that the Rain Sensor works properly, keep the lens 7 clean.

Clean the lens as follows:

1.Unscrew the nut 4 from the lens-receptacle 5 (Fig. G1).

2.Remove the housing 6.

3.Clean the lens 7 with a clean, soft, damp cloth (Fig. G 2).

Note: If the Rain Sensor is really dirty, the inside of the lens-receptacle

5 should also be cleaned, e.g. with clean water (Fig. G 3). Unscrew the lid 8 and remove the cone 0.

Do not use any harsh household cleaning agents or scouring powder!

4.Dry the lens.

Warning! Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to prevent scratching.

5.Replace the housing 6 on the lens-receptacle 5. Secure the lens- receptacle with the nut 4 by compressing the spring 9 (Fig. G 4).

7.3 Change the battery once a year

To ensure that the Rain Sensor works properly we recommend you ex- change the battery at least once a year (see also “Inserting the Battery”).

8. Accessories available

If the connection cable on the Rain Sensor is not long enough, it can be extended using the 10 m Extension Cable, GARDENA Art. No. 1186 up to a maximum of 105 m (Fig. H).

To consider the soil moisture in addition to the natural precipitation, the GARDENA Adaptor 1189-00.630.00 (obtainable at GARDENA Service) may be used. Both the Rain Sensor Electronic and the Soil Moisture Sensor may be connected to the water controller (Fig. H). This is due to prevent the start of the watering program when the rain sensor indicates dry but the soil moisture is sufficient.
