1. Where to use Your GARDENA Automatic Irrigation Set

The GARDENA Automatic Irrigation Set includes a Water Timer

and a Soil Moisture Sensor. It is designed to be used solely out-

doors in domestic and private gardens and in greenhouses to

control sprinklers and watering systems taking into account the

soil moisture level.

It is not permitted to use the Automatic Irrigation Set for

industrial or commercial applications and in conjunction

with chemicals, foodstuffs, highly combustible or explosive

substances.

2. Safety instructions

Batteries:

For reasons of operational reliability the

Water Timer should only be operated with

one 9 V alkaline battery type IEC 6LR61

and the Soil Moisture Sensor with two 1.5 V

(alkaline) round cells type IEC LR 14.

To prevent failure of the Water Timer / Soil

Moisture Sensor due to weak batteries in

conjunction with a lengthy absence, batteries

should be replaced in due course. This will

depend on the previous operating life of the

batteries and the probable length of absence,

which should not exceed a year in total.

Soil Moisture Sensor:

Setting up:

Warning!

The Automatic Irrigation Set must not be used

indoors.

vOnly use the Automatic Irrigation Set

outdoors.

The Water Timer must only be set up vertically

with the sleeve nut to the top to prevent water

penetrating into the battery compartment.

The minimum water output to ensure that

the Water Timer functions correctly is 20 l/h.

For example, at least 10 x 2-litre Drip Heads

are required to control the Micro-Drip-System.

The max. temperature for the water flow is

40 °C.

vOnly use clear fresh water.

The minimum operating pressure is 0.5 bar,

the maximum operating pressure is 12 bar.

Avoid tensile strain.

vDo not pull the hose connected to the

Water Timer.

Programming

vProgramme the Water Timer with the tap

turned off. In this way you can avoid getting

wet when trying out the manual On / Off

function (man. On/Off). You can remove the

control unit from the housing to program

the Water Computer.

For entering the watering data, you can

remove the control panel from the casing.

Soil Moisture Sensor:

The Soil Moisture Sensor is equipped with a

safety switch. If the sensor cable is damaged

or the batteries flat, the Soil Moisture Sensor

is not recognised by the Water Timer any more.

If watering is controlled by the Soil Moisture

Sensor ( , , ) an emergency mode is

activated: watering every 24 hours with the

set watering duration, max. 30 minutes.

If watering is time-controlled the programme

is run without the sensor.

The spread of moisture in the soil after

watering or rainfall is rather slow. In the

worst-case scenario it may happen that

irrigation and a rain shower overlap until

the required soil moisture is attained.

3. Function

The Soil Moisture Sensor measures the soil moisture at the root

level of the plants. With the GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor the

soil moisture level is taken into consideration for watering. The

Soil Moisture Sensor measures the soil moisture automatically

approximately every 10 minutes and sends the measured results

to the Water Timer.

5. Operation

Water Timer:

To create the watering programme, the control panel can be

removed from the casing by pressing the unlock button so

that mobile programming is possible (see 4. Initial operation

“Connect adapter cable of the Soil Moisture Sensor”

The watering programme is run only if the Soil Moisture

Sensor reports “dry” to the Water Timer and the control

panel has been properly plugged in. If the Soil Moisture

Sensor reports “damp” while the programme is running,

watering is stopped.

Watering controlled by Soil Moisture Sensor:

1. Turn Frequency button Fto the desired watering cycle

(e.g. day).

day Watering by day when the Soil Moisture Sensor

reports “dry”.

night Watering by night when the Soil Moisture Sensor

reports “dry”.

day & night Watering whenever the Soil Moisture Sensor

Sensor reports “dry”.

2. Turn Run Time button Gto the desired watering duration (e.g.

30 minutes).

Watering starts within the set watering cycle.

If watering is controlled by the Soil Moisture Sensor a watering

break of 2 hours is activated every time water has been

delivered (so, the soil moisture level can be balanced).

Example:

Watering cycle = (day),

Watering duration = 30 minutes.

Watering is activated when the Soil Moisture Sensor reports “dry”

during the day, and stops depending on the soil moisture level, but

for no longer than the the set duration (in this example 30 minutes).

Time-controlled watering:

1. Turn Frequency button Fto the desired watering cycle (e.g.

12 hours).

12h watering every 12 hours

24h watering every day

48h watering every 2 days

2. Turn Run Time button Gto Reset to enter the watering start

time (time of programming).

3. Turn Run Time button Gto the desired watering duration (e.g.

15 minutes).

Reset:

Watering is activated depending on the time of programming.

Example:

Watering cycle = 12 hours,

Watering duration = 15 minutes.

Watering is activated every 12 hours (starting from the current time)

if the Soil Moisture Sensor reports “dry” and stops depending on

the soil moisture, but for no longer than the set duration (in this

example 15 minutes).

The Run Time button Gcan be used also to change the

watering duration of a running programme. If the new watering

duration is shorter than the watering duration already passed,

watering is stopped in the next minute of run time.

The valve can be opened or closed manually at any time. Even

a programme-controlled open valve can be closed prematurely.

Open valve manually:

vTurn Run Time button Gto ON.

The valve opens and closes automatically after 30 minutes.

Close valve manually:

vTurn Run Time button Gto OFF.

The valve closes.

If the Run-Time button Gis turned to Reset the internal time

control of the Water Timer restarts and the 2 hour watering

break is reset.

Soil Moisture Sensor:

The water requirement of plants depends on many factors, e.g.

type of plant, soil, sunshine, wind. To find the suitable switching

point of the Soil Moisture Sensor, it has to be observed during

irrigation over a period of approx. 1 – 2 weeks and re-adjusted

if necessary. If the soil moisture has exceeded the switching

point selected, the watering programme of the Water Timer

is terminated prematurely or an outstanding irrigation process

blocked.

On delivery, the switching controller is set to the centre position,

which is suitable for normal non-forest soils (loamy humus).

For sandy soils the switching controller Hshould be set slightly

to the right (damper).

For potting soil the switching controller Hshould be set slightly

to the left (drier).

During the minute in which the measured result is displayed, the

switching controller can be used to find the relevant switching

point by turning the switching controller until the display changes

from “Dry” Jto “Damp” Kor vice versa. If the display does

not change, the ground is either very dry or very damp.

To keep the soil moisture level as constant as possible, irrigation

should be carried out with short watering cycles and short

watering times. This especially applies to flower boxes on

balconies, which have a watering time of <5 min.

6. Putting into Storage

The storage location must not be accessible to children.

1. Remove batteries from the Soil Moisture Sensor and Water

Timer.
