lights or other bright lights that come on during the night as
these might interfere with the recorded light levels and cause the
controller to come on at the wrong time.
Ideally, you should not set up your controller in a heavily shaded
passageway or behind buildings where light levels remain low
all day long. Do not position the controller inside buildings such
as garages or sheds where it will not receive natural daylight to
function correctly.
The controller is designed to be positioned directly underneath an
outdoor tap. Do not position the controller on its side or lying on the
ground whereby rainwater cannot flow away from the product.
1 hour delay
(when using 2 Sensor Controllers together)
If you install two Sensor Controllers you might want to stagger the
start times to prevent pressure loss when two appliances are used
simultaneously – for example sprinklers.
Remove the delay plug from the storage location on the back of
the control panel (Fig. 2) and fit the plug on the location below the
batteries.
With the plug inserted the one hour delay affects all automatic
watering. The delay period of one hour cannot be changed.

You can turn on the water controller at any time by pressing the

button.

The LED light will come on to indicate you have turned the controller
on and will start to flash when the valve has opened. Depending on
the mode selected the lights will count down as the time lapses; So
if you press the button 3 times to water for 60 minutes, after the
first 30 minutes the top light will stop flashing and the bottom two
lights will continue to flash.
If you decide to stop manual watering at any time simply press on
the Water Now button until all the green lights stop flashing. You
will hear the motor operate the internal valve turning the water off.
Note: To protect battery life the water controller can only be turned
on and off a maximum of 3 times in one minute.
How do I cancel an automatic watering operation
The
button can also be used as a manual override to cancel
any current automatic watering operation that has started. The
schedule will then resume.
