1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Water Computer

The GARDENA Water Computer C 1060 profi is intended for private use in domestic and hobby gardens, exclusively for outdoor use, to control sprinklers and watering systems.

The GARDENA Water Computer must not be used for industrial purposes or in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuffs, easily flammable and explosive materials.

2. For Your Safety

Battery:

To ensure the Water Timer runs safely, only a 9V alkaline manganese battery (alkaline)

type IEC 6LR61 must be used.

3. Function

This GARDENA Water Computer C 1060 profi allows you to water your garden completely automatically any time you choose up to 6 times a day, whether you are using a sprinkler, a sprinkler system installation or a drip-head watering system.

Your Water Computer waters your garden completely automatically according to the program you choose.You can use your Water Computer to water your garden early in the morning or late at night when water evaporates the least or when you are on holiday.

You simply program the watering start, watering time and watering day(s) or cycles.

man. For switching the water throughput on or off On/Off manually.

The battery must be exchanged in time to prevent the Water Computer failing due to a low battery when you are away for longer periods of time. Make sure that the time the battery has been in operation and the time you are planning to be away does not add up to more than a year.

Setting up

Warning! The Water Computer must not be

used indoors. v Only use the Water Computer outdoors. The Water Computer may only be set up verti-

cally 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. v Do not pull the hose connected to the

Water Computer.

Programming

v Program 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.
