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), watering start-
ing time / duration and cycle by turning the pointer "of the con-
trol knob !to the correct time and pressing the OK button §.
The Water Timer opens at the starting time you have selected.
The 3 LEDs Time, Start Time and

Battery status display:
For functional safety reasons, only use a 9 V alkali-manga-
nese (alkaline) battery type IEC 6LR61.
The Water Timer will only run for approx. 1 year if the new
alkaline battery has a nominal voltage of at least 9 V.
vCheck the battery before you buy it.
To prevent water entering the battery compartment, 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.

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).
4. Putting Your Water Timer into Operation
1. Press the release button 1and remove the control unit 2from
the housing of the Water Timer.
2. Insert the battery 3in the battery
compartment.
Pay attention to the polarity
(+/ – markings).
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.
Inserting the battery :
Even if the battery is almost empty, the Water Timer ensures
that an open valve is always closed since less energy is re-
quired to close the valve than to open it.

33.3 mm (G1”) thread. The adapter supplied 5allows the Water
Timer to be connected to taps with a 26.5 mm (G¾”) thread.
