GARDENA Water Control Master
Translation of the original instructions.
For safety reasons, children and young
people under 16 as well as anyone who is
not familiar with these operating instruc-
tionsshould not use the product. Persons with
reduced physical or mental abilities may use the
product only if they are supervised or instructed by
a responsible person. Children must be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the product.
Never operate the product when you are tired, ill or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine.
Intended use:
The GARDENA Water Control is intended for private
use in domestic and hobby gardens, exclusively
for outdoor use, to control sprinklers and watering
systems. The Water Control can be used for auto-
matic watering during holidays.
DANGER! The GARDENA Water Control must
not be used for industrial purposes or in
conjunction with chemicals, foodstuffs, easily
flammable and explosive materials.
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 9V alkaline manganese battery
(alkaline) type IEC 6LR61 must be used!
EN
17

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 flashes.
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.
At high temperatures (over 70 °C at the display)
the LCD display may extinguish. This does not
affect the program in any way. When the com-
puter cools down the LCD display illuminates
again.
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 reattached.
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 medical 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 tod-
dlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the
product.

3. FUNCTION v(Fig. F)
The Master Water Control offers two options
for watering your garden automatically on
a timer:
• Water 1 area of a garden with a water line
e.g. using a sprinkler, the GARDENA Micro-Drip-
System or the GARDENA Sprinklersystem
– or –
• Operate 2 ‒ 6 water lines one after another
using the GARDENA Automatic Water
Distributor, Art. 1197, see Fig. O (optionally
available). Each line can be activated up to
once a day.
You can change the settings or move to the next
setting by turning the knob. You can confirm the
respective input by pressing the rotary knob.
Pressing the knob for longer than 3 seconds locks
or unlocks the display. If no more changes are
made to the settings, the LCD display switches off
after 5 minutes to save energy. To reactivate the
display, actuate the rotary knob. The default display
appears.

vated or deactivated by pressing on/ off (see fig. H).

3Reduce Watering
You can reduce the durations set for all schedules
at once in 10% increments, from 100% down
to 10%. This saves you having to change each
of the 6 schedules individually.
Tip: Less watering is required in the spring and
autumn than in the height of summer. Simply set
the maximum watering duration for high summer
as the default. Then reduce the watering duration
for all schedules at once in convenient 10 % incre-
ments when there is less need for watering.
Note: When you change the percentage, the dura-
tion is adjusted within the schedules and the
“cloud” symbol appears. If the duration is not
altered (= 100%), the “sun” symbol is displayed.
Rain pause v(Fig. L):
1Menu: Rain pause | 2Pause / 3 days
Pauses all watering operations without changing
the set schedules. You can select any number of
days between 1 and 9. At the end of the pause,
all schedules are reactivated.

Soil Moisture Sensor, Art. 1188
(optionally available) v(Fig. D and N):
1Menu: Soil Moisture Sensor
Once the soil is sufficiently moist, a water-
ing operation is interrupted or a schedule is disa-
bled so that it cannot be activated. This does not
affect active (manual) watering.
v(Fig. D and N): 1Connect soil moisture sensor
After a soil moisture sensor is connected, the
“sensor activated/deactivated” display will appear –
this can take up to 1 minute. Select an option to
activate/deactivate the sensor response. Use the
switching point controller on the soil moisture sen-
sor to set the level of soil moisture that must be
achieved before the sensor responds (see Opera-
tor’s Manual for GARDENA Soil moisture sensor).

GARDENA Automatic Water Distribu-
tor, Art. 1197 (optionally available)
v(Fig. O): 1Menu: Water Distributor auto-
matic
This menu allows you to control up to
6water lines with the Automatic Water Distributor.
This includes a necessary minimum pause of
5minutes between the outlets and a minimum
watering duration of 30 seconds (display: 1 min).
This time ensures reliable switch-over to the next
outlet and makes sure that the schedules and
outlets are correctly linked (for details of the com-
missioning process, see the Operating Instructions
for the Water Distributor).
2Select amount of active water lines
You can select any number between 2 and 6.
Seal any outlets on the Water Distributor that you
do not need with end caps and move the setting
lever to the “OFF” position.
3Create schedules 1 ‒ 6:
When prompted to do so, enter watering schedules
L1 – L6 on the display. For this, use the standard
method for entering schedules based on the start
time, duration and frequency.
Note: Schedules are not allowed to overlap. If you
enter a schedule that overlaps with the next one,
the start time of the next watering operation will
be postponed and a pause of 5 minutes will be
inserted between the operations.
• Start times: Define the start times for the water
lines in chronological order. This makes it easier
to calculate and suggest the next possible start
time.
• Duration: The total watering duration for all outlets
– including the necessary pauses – must not
exceed 24 hours.
• Frequency: Different weekdays can be selected.
Note: To ensure correct switch-over and correct
linking of the schedules and outlets, any outlets
that are not scheduled to operate on a particular
day will still be activated for a period of 30 sec-
onds on the day concerned.
• Reduction in the number of outlets: If the number
of outlets is reduced, the superfluous channels
will be deleted. For example, if the number of
outlets is reduced from 5 to 3, the settings for
no. 4 and no. 5 will be deleted.
• Active (manual) watering: To activate a watering
operation manually, press . Please note that
a minimum duration of 30 seconds and a pause
of at least 5 minutes must be observed.
4Sensor per line (optional)
• If a soil moisture sensor is connected, you have
the option of activating/deactivating it for each
individual outlet. If the sensor is deactivated for
a particular schedule, watering will always take
place based on the schedule.
