1. SAFETY
IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use
and keep for future reference.
Battery:
To ensure the Water Control runs safely, only
a 9 V alkaline manganese battery (alkaline) type
IEC 6LR61 must be used!
14
EN

CAUTION!
Rechargeable batteries should not be used,
otherwise the operating period of 1 year cannot
be guaranteed!
In order to stop the Water Control from failing because of
aweak battery if you are away for a long time, the battery
must be replaced when the battery symbol illuminates
yellow.
Regularly examine the batteries for damage.
Do not use damaged batteries.
Keep damaged batteries out of the reach of children.
Setting up:
The Water Control 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
Control 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.
The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C.
Avoid tensile strain.
vDo not pull the hose connected to the Water Control.
CAUTION!
If the control section is removed when the valve is open,
the valve remains open until the control section is reat-
tached.
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electromagnetic field while
it operates. This field may under some conditions
interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly
injure or kill, we recommend persons with medical
implants to speak with their physician and the medi-
cal implant manufacturer before you operate the
product.
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also
arisk that the polybag can suffocate toddlers. Keep
toddlers away when you assemble the product.
