Installation & operating instructions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS PRODUCT.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING NOTICES MAY RESULT
IN INJURY OR PRODUCT DAMAGE
General information
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE
HOZELOCK WEBSITE.
This product meets the requirements of IP44 and therefore can
be used in exposed weather conditions.
This product is not suitable for supplying drinking water.
Threaded water connections are suitable for hand tightening
only.
This product can be fitted to mains water supply.
This product can be fitted to outdoor water butts or tanks that
have an inline filter fitted before the controller.
Installing the batteries
You must use Alkaline batteries – alternatives will result in
incorrect operation.
1Remove the front panel as shown (Fig. 1), gripping the recessed
part and pulling towards you.
2Insert 2 x 1.5v AA (LR6) batteries (Fig. 1) and replace the
controller front panel.
IMPORTANT: Rechargeable batteries must not be used.
3Replace batteries each season. (max 8 months use, used twice a
day)
4When batteries are installed the motor will operate the internal
valve to check that it is ready for use and the batteries installed
have enough charge to safely operate the valve
5If the LED indicator flashes red, the batteries need to be
replaced.
Connecting the Sensor Controller Plus to the tap
1Choose the correct tap adapter. (Fig. 3)
2Using the correct adapter(s), attach the controller to the tap and
tighten firmly to avoid leaks. Do not use a spanner or other tool
to tighten as this might damage the threads. (Fig. 4)

3Turn on the Tap.
How to set up the Sensor Controller Plus -
automatic watering
Sunrise and Sunset is the best time to water your garden to avoid
evaporation and leaf scorch. The Daylight sensor automatically
adjusts the watering schedule to coincide with the changing time
for sunrise and sunset.
Cloudy or overcast mornings and evenings might cause a slight
delay to the watering times, but these are not significant to have
any adverse effects on your garden.
1Rotate the control dial to select from the 3 marked sections –
Sunrise (once a day), Sunset (once a day) or Sunrise and Sunset
(twice a day). (See Fig. 5)
2Choose from the required watering durations – 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 or
60 minutes of watering.
How to set the daily watering schedule
If you do not want to water your garden every day you can set the
water timer to water every 2, 3, 5 or 7 days (once a week). To set the
watering intervals rotate the top dial to the required setting: (Fig. 6)
Please note: If you change the watering interval the internal
memory is updated with your new setting at the next sunrise.
If you have turned the dial anti-clockwise (increasing the number of
watering days per week) and the water timer was due to water the
following day, then the next watering will occur on the following day
and will continue to water according to the new setting of the dial.
If the water controller was due to water every 5 days and was due to
water in 4 days but you then set the dial to water every 2 days, the
controller would decrease the interval to the new 2 day interval at
the following sunrise. This means you will not need to wait for the
previously set 5 day interval to fully lapse once the dial has been
reset to a more frequent interval.
If you have turned the dial clockwise (decreasing the number of
watering days per week) the controller will wait until the previously
set watering day interval has lapsed before commencing to water at
the new longer interval.
How do I water once a week on a specific day

How to turn off the Sensor Controller Plus
If you do not want the controller to automatically come on turn the
rotary dial to the “OFF” position. You can still use the button to
manually water your garden.
Initial synchronisation period
When you install new batteries there is a 6 hour lockout period to
prevent the controller from watering while you are setting up your
system. After a 24 hour cycle of Sunrise and Sunset the controller
will be synchronised with the changing light levels. You can
manually water your garden using the button during the 6 hour
lockout period.
Positioning your Sensor Controller Plus outdoors
It is important that your water controller is in an outdoor location.
Do not point the control panel directly towards outdoor security

6
lights or other bright lights that come on during the night as
these might interfere with the recorded light levels and cause the
controller to come on at the wrong time.
Ideally, you should not set up your controller in a heavily shaded
passageway or behind buildings where light levels remain low
all day long. Do not position the controller inside buildings such
as garages or sheds where it will not receive natural daylight to
function correctly.
The controller is designed to be positioned directly underneath an
outdoor tap. Do not position the controller on its side or lying on the
ground whereby rainwater cannot flow away from the product.
1 hour delay
(when using 2 Sensor Controllers together)
If you install two Sensor Controllers you might want to stagger the
start times to prevent pressure loss when two appliances are used
simultaneously – for example sprinklers.
Remove the delay plug from the storage location on the back of
the control panel (Fig. 2) and fit the plug on the location below the
batteries.
With the plug inserted the one hour delay affects all automatic
watering. The delay period of one hour cannot be changed.
Manual operation (water now)
You can turn on the water controller at any time by pressing the
Water Now button.
Water now function
Press Once 10 minutes watering
Press Twice 30 minutes watering
Press Three times 60 minutes watering
Press Four times Cancels Water Now
The LED light will come on to indicate you have turned the controller
on and will start to flash when the valve has opened. Depending on
the mode selected the lights will count down as the time lapses; So
if you press the button 3 times to water for 60 minutes, after the
first 30 minutes the top light will stop flashing and the bottom two
lights will continue to flash.
If you decide to stop manual watering at any time simply press on
the Water Now button until all the green lights stop flashing. You
will hear the motor operate the internal valve turning the water off.
Note: To protect battery life the water controller can only be turned
on and off a maximum of 3 times in one minute.
How do I cancel an automatic watering operation
The button can also be used as a manual override to cancel
any current automatic watering operation that has started. The
schedule will then resume.

Battery Level Check
(Press And Hold Down The Water Now Button)
3x Green Lights Battery level is Excellent
2x Green Lights Battery level is Good
1x Green Light Battery level is ok but consider replacing
them soon
1x Red Light Battery level is low - replace the batteries
now
Failure prevention mode
A built in safety feature detects when the battery levels have
dropped to a level that could fail whilst the valve is open and result
in wasting water. The safety mode prevents the controller from
turning on until the batteries have been replaced. The LED indicator
light will flash red when the failure prevention mode has been
activated. The Water Now function will also not operate until the
batteries have been replaced.
This product is not designed to be used in sub-zero (frost)
temperatures. During winter months drain any remaining
water out of your timer and bring it indoors until the next
watering season.
