2. Safety Instructions
Batteries:
For reasons of operational reliability the
Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour automatic
should only be operated with four 1.5 V
(alkaline) round cells type IEC LR14!
To prevent failure of the Large-Area Irrigation
AquaContour automatic 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 operation during your absence, which
should not amount to more than 90 hours
in total.

1. Where to use your Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour automatic
The GARDENA Large-Area Irrigation forms part of the Original
GARDENA System and is designed to be used solely outdoors in
domestic and private gardens to water lawns and garden areas.
It is not permitted to use the Large-Area Irrigation
AquaContour automatic for industrial or commercial
applications and in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuffs,
highly combustible or explosive substances.

Information about usage:
The Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour
automatic should not be combined with
other sprinklers in one irrigation line.
If there is a change in the range of the LargeArea Irrigation AquaContour automatic, the
pressure conditions will change in the irrigation line, so altering the range of the other
sprinkler.
➔ Only use separate individual water
channels for watering. Do not install
in a series with other sprinklers.
The ranges selected may vary with major
fluctuations in water pressure.
Pressure Tank Units (with pressure chamber)
to supply water to the Large-Area Irrigation
AquaContour automatic are not recommended
as they cause fluctuations in pressure with the
switch-on/ off pressure.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
water will result in faster wear and reduced
output.
v With water containing sand a Central Filter
(e.g. GARDENA Central Filter Art. 1510)
should be used.
3. Function
The GARDENA Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour automatic
can be used to water individual garden areas.
Two programmed areas can be stored. A jet of water slowly
turns in a circle to the end of the programmed area, stops, and
turns back again, altering the irrigation range depending on the
ranges programmed. The control panel is used to programme
the irrigation contour points.

Menu button: Choose between programming mode
(Set 1 or 2) and operating mode (Auto
1 or 2).
2

Connect Large-Area Irrigation
AquaContour automatic:
Correct location:
A Circle water distribution:
●
With circle water distribution the large-area irrigation should
be positioned as centrally as possible in the watering area
to ensure that the irrigation width is not greatly affected by
external influences such as wind.
B Sector water distribution :
●
With sector water distribution the large-area irrigation should
be positioned right at the edge of the watering area (e.g. at
the corner of the house).
●
The large-area irrigation must be positioned at a point in the
watering sector from which it is possible to water the entire
garden area required. The maximum range is 9 m (with 2 bar
flow pressure at the irrigation unit).
Incorrect location:
1:
●
No obstacles (e.g. walls, trees, etc.) should be located in the
watering sector. It must be possible to access every contour
point of the areas to be watered in a straight line. With the
maximum range the spray height can reach approx. 5 m.
2:
●
The minimum range is 2.5 m (at 2 bar). With circle water
distribution the large-area irrigation must therefore be located
2.5 m from the edge in all directions (A). If this is not possible
the large-area irrigation should be positioned at the edge and
the watering area will be a circle sector (B).
The Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour automatic is equipped
with 2 ground markers and two programs so it can be used in
two different locations, e.g in front of and behind the house, or
with very large areas. To ensure that the locations selected can
be pinpointed again, the large-area irrigation has to be fixed on
the ground markers with removable spikes. The 2 spikes provided
are attached to the bottom of the large-area irrigation.
The ground marker should always remain in the ground.
1. Select correct location for large-area irrigation (see above).
2. Insert ground marker
7
into soil at this point level with
the ground.
3. Place large-area irrigation on ground marker
7
.
4. Insert 2 spikes
8
in openings 9of the large-area irrigation.
The large-area irrigation is fixed in place on the ground marker.
The Large-Area Irrigation AquaContour automatic can be
connected to the water supply via the Original GARDENA
System. The minimum operating pressure is 1 bar.
1. Fit GARDENA Hose with connection system to the
connection
A
of the large-area irrigation.
2. Open supply.
