How to set up the Sensor Controller Plus -
automatic watering
Sunrise and Sunset is the best time to water your garden to avoid
evaporation and leaf scorch. The Daylight sensor automatically
adjusts the watering schedule to coincide with the changing time
for sunrise and sunset.
Cloudy or overcast mornings and evenings might cause a slight
delay to the watering times, but these are not significant to have
any adverse effects on your garden.
Rotate the control dial to select from the 3 marked sections –
1
Sunrise (once a day), Sunset (once a day) or Sunrise and Sunset
(twice a day). (See Fig. 5)
Choose from the required watering durations – 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 or
2
60 minutes of watering.
How to set the daily watering schedule
If you do not want to water your garden every day you can set the
water timer to water every 2, 3, 5 or 7 days (once a week). To set the
watering intervals rotate the top dial to the required setting: (Fig. 6)
Please note: If you change the watering interval the internal
memory is updated with your new setting at the next sunrise.
If you have turned the dial anti-clockwise (increasing the number of
watering days per week) and the water timer was due to water the
following day, then the next watering will occur on the following day
and will continue to water according to the new setting of the dial.
If the water controller was due to water every 5 days and was due to
water in 4 days but you then set the dial to water every 2 days, the
controller would decrease the interval to the new 2 day interval at
the following sunrise. This means you will not need to wait for the
previously set 5 day interval to fully lapse once the dial has been
reset to a more frequent interval.
If you have turned the dial clockwise (decreasing the number of
watering days per week) the controller will wait until the previously
set watering day interval has lapsed before commencing to water at
the new longer interval.

How to turn off the Sensor Controller Plus
If you do not want the controller to automatically come on turn the
rotary dial to the "OFF" position. You can still use the
manually water your garden.
Initial synchronisation period
When you install new batteries there is a 6 hour lockout period to
prevent the controller from watering while you are setting up your
system. After a 24 hour cycle of Sunrise and Sunset the controller
will be synchronised with the changing light levels. You can
manually water your garden using the
lockout period.
Positioning your Sensor Controller Plus outdoors
It is important that your water controller is in an outdoor location.
Do not point the control panel directly towards outdoor security
