1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Water Computer
Intended use: |
The GARDENA Water Computer is intended for private use in |
|
domestic and hobby gardens, exclusively for outdoor use, to |
|
control sprinklers and watering systems. |
|
The Water Computer can be used for automatic watering during |
|
holidays. |
|
|
Please note: |
The GARDENA Water Computer must not be used for |
|
industrial purposes or in conjunction with chemicals, |
|
foodstuffs, easily flammable and explosive materials. |
|
|
2. Safety Instructions
Battery:
To ensure the Water Computer runs safely, only a 9V alkaline manganese battery (alkaline) type IEC 6LR61 must be used.
In order to stop the Water Computer from failing because of a weak battery if you are away for a long time, the battery must be replaced when the battery display still shows only 1 bar.
Setting up
Warning!
The Water Computer must not be used indoors.
v Only use the Water Computer outdoors.
2
The Water Computer may 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 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.
At high temperatures (over 60 °C at the display) the LCD display may extinguish. This does not affect the program in any way.
When the computer cools down the LCD display illuminates again.
The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C.
v Only 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 Computer.
Programming
vProgram the Water Computer 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.
If the controller is removed when the valve is open, the valve remains open until the controller is fitted again.

Display levels:
With the Water Computer, the garden can be watered fully automatically up to 3 times a day at any time of day (every 8 hours).
Sprinklers, a sprinkler system or a drip head watering system can be used for watering.
The Water Computer carries out watering fully automatically according to the set program and can therefore also be used during holidays. Early in the morning or late in the evening, evaporation and therefore water consumption is lowest.
The watering programme is easily entered using the controls.

Apart from scheduled watering there is also the option of including how damp the soil is or rainfall into the watering programme.
If the soil is damp enough, the programme will be stopped, or a programme will be prevented from starting. Manual operation via
Man. On / Off is unaffected by this.
The “Soil moisture sensor-controlled watering” mode can only be selected when using a soil moisture sensor.
1.Remove controller E from the housing of the Water Computer.
2.Place soil moisture sensor in the watered area
– or –
place rain sensor (with extension cable if necessary) outside the watered area.
3.Insert the sensor in the sensor connection J of the Water Computer.
An adapter cable may be required to connect older sensors, which can be purchased from GARDENA Service,
GARDENA Adapter cable Art. No. 1189-00.600.45.
