1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Water Timer
The GARDENA Water Timer is intended for private use in
domestic and hobby gardens, exclusively for outdoor use,
to control sprinklers and irrigation systems.
The GARDENA Water Timer must not be used for industrial
purposes or in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuffs,
easily flammable and explosive materials.

Putting your Water Timer into operation:
To prevent water entering the device, the
Water Timer must only be mounted in a
perpendicular position with the sleeve nut
pointing upwards.
After you have selected the watering program,
the Water Timer opens at the selected starting
time. To avoid getting wet when operating the
Water Timer, connect the hose or turn off the
tap before selecting the program.
Alternatively, the control unit can be removed
for programming.
The max. temperature for the water is 40 °C.
vOnly use clear fresh water.
3. Function
The GARDENA Water Timer allows you to set different watering
cycles for different watering times independent of whether you
are using a sprinkler, a sprinkler system installation or drip-head
watering system to irrigate your garden.
Your Water Timer will water your garden completely automatically
according to the program you choose. You can set the timer to
water your garden early in the morning or late at night when water
evaporates the least, or while you are away on holiday.

4. Putting Your Water Timer into Operation
1. Turn battery cover 1anticlockwise and remove battery
holder 2.
2. Insert 4 x LR-6-AA (Mignon) alkaline batteries 3in the battery
holder.
Ensure that polarity is correct (+/-).
3. Insert the battery holder 2in the correct position and close the
battery cover 1.
Both LEDs are illuminated for 2 seconds and the Water
Timer performs a self-test. The valve is closed automati-
cally during this process.
Make sure you exchange the batteries at the right time to prevent
the Water Timer failing due to low batteries when you are away for
longer periods of time.
Make sure that the time the batteries have been in operation and
the time you are planning to be away does not add up to more
than 1 year.
Even if the batteries are almost empty, the Water Timer ensures
that an open valve is always closed.
If both LEDs flash, the batteries are flat and must be replaced.

– or –
place rain sensor (with extension cable if necessary)
outside the watered area.
2. Insert the sensor in the sensor connection 7of the Water
Computer.

On especially dry days the programmed watering cycle is
sometimes insufficient. You can then turn on your water
timer manually.
The program you have set remains unchanged.
1. Insert programming card 8in the card slot of the Water Timer.
2. Keep red button pressed for 3 seconds.
The valve opens for 30 minutes regardless of the program set.
On rainy days the programmed watering cycle is often un-
necessary. You can therefore stop the programmed watering
cycle (bad-weather function). The program set is retained on
the programming card in this case.
Manual watering remains possible.
1. Push watering cycle slide to prog off.
2. Transfer program
(see Programming the Water Timer) .

previously has to be set again and the program has to be transfer-
red
(see Programming the Water Timer) .
