USEFUL INFORMATION
What are the features required for the Bluetooth®product to work?
Smartphone or tablet running Android 4.3 or greater with Bluetooth
Smart 4.0 or greater. Apple iPhone or iPad running iOS 9.0 or greater
with Bluetooth Smart 4.0 or greater.
Why my station does not start? on each station, you must be put a
duration and assigned it to a program (Aor B or C). If several stations
are assigned to the same program, they will start one after the other.
Why my Program B does not start? If the start time of the Program
Ais the same time than the Program B, the two programs will be
executed one after the other in the order A and then B.
What is the output P? You can connect on the Poutput a master
valve or a pump. The output will automatically start 2s before each

How does the rain sensor work? The rain sensor when it is
connected instead of the yellow wire (see wiring step for each model)
aects all the 3 programs. If it rains and the rainsensor is active,
programs Aor B or C will not start. It is necessary to wait until the
probe has dried to see the programs restart. The manual control «All
stations» does not take into account the condition of the rain sensor.
What is the Water Budget? The Water Budget adds a % of time to the
duration of each station. It is typically used when changing seasons (for
example summer to automn, or spring to summer).
Ex: If you entered Station 1 = 1h on Program A and Station 2 = 0h30
on Program A, then enter a Water Budget 120 % for Program A.
When the Program A starts, the stations 1 and 2will be increased by
20%, (ex 1h12 for Station 1 and 0h36 for Station 2).
How can I restart the initialization procedure (for example : change
the router acces point) ? To reset a device or restart an initialization
procedure, simply unplug and reconnect the power supply.
If my device does not have no power, do I lose programs?
Programs are never lost, they are saved in a memory.
I would like to resume the programming from the beginning, how
to do? If you want to resume programming, go to the application,
enter the product and then open the p Parameters and select «Clear
programs and durations».
