3. Function
The GARDENA Water Timer electronic 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 electronic 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.
You simply program the time (to the nearest hour), day, watering
starting time / cycle / days and duration by turning the pointer B
of the control knob Ato the correct time and pressing the
OK button C.
The Water Timer opens at the starting time you have selected.
The 2 LEDs Time and Day flash to indicate that the battery is flat.
vReplace the battery (see 4. Operation “Inserting the Battery”).
The functional safety of the water timer depends on the capability
of the battery.
If you change the battery the program is not saved. You must
reprogram the Water Timer (see 5. Operation).

3. Re-attach the control unit 2to
the housing.
Make sure you exchange the battery
at the right time to prevent the Water
Timer failing due to a low battery
when you are away for longer periods
of time.
Make sure that the time the battery has been in operation and the
time you are planning to be away does not add up to more than
a year.
Even if the battery is almost empty, the Water Timer ensures
that an open valve is always closed since less energy is requi-
red to close the valve than to open it.

To protect your Water Timer against theft, the GARDENA Anti-
Theft Protection Art. No. 1815-00.791.00 is available from the
GARDENA Service.
1. Fasten the bracket 7to the back of the Water Timer using
the screw 8.
2. The bracket can be used to attach a chain, for example.

the soil moisture or rain sensor in the watering program.
If the soil is moist enough, the program will be stopped, or the
program will be prevented from starting. Manual operation via
On/Off is unaffected by this.

b) place rain sensor (with extension cable if necessary)
outside the watered area.
2. Insert the sensor in the sensor connection 9of the Water
Timer.
