1. General
We presume that you are experienced in the eld of irrigation. We have therefore kept these instructions
brief and included only the information that it is imperative for you to have to use this product.
Any warranty claims can be accepted only if the sprinkler is used in accordance with these operating
instructions and if any defect emerges within the warranty period.
We reserve the right to make changes in line with technological advances, including without prior notice.
2. Safety
ese operating instructions contain some fundamental instructions that must be followed when
installing, operating, servicing and maintaining the sprinkler. It is therefore imperative that these
instructions are read by the tter and the relevant specialised sta / operators prior to installation and
commissioning.
Attention must be paid not just to the general safety information set out in this ‘Safety’ section, but also
to the special safety instructions included in the other sections.
2.1. Use of symbols in these operating instructions
Where failure to follow safety information can place individuals at risk, such information is specically
marked in these operating
instructions with the general danger symbol:
!
Warning of potential hand injuries

2.2 Proper use
e sprinkler is used for the even distribution of water onto lawns, green spaces and sports elds laid with
natural or articial grass. e water should be pre-cleaned and free of any coarse or brous contamination.
e water and ambient temperatures must be below the limits specied in the technical data.
2.3 Clearly improper use
• Operation of the pop-up sprinkler by unauthorised personnel (if the control unit is freely accessible).
• Operation of the sprinkler with the sector to be watered wrongly set, e.g. as the result of vandalism.
is can result in the jet of water being directed to the side away from the grassed area.
2.4 Safety information
!
Read the operating instructions, especially the safety information, before starting any work
on or with the sprinkler.
e specic safety instructions appear at the start of each section.
2.5 Dangers of failing to observe safety instructions
Failure to observe safety instructions can result both in people being placed at risk and in damage to the
environment and machine. Failure to observe safety instructions can lead to the loss of any rights to claim
compensation.

5. Assembly, set-up and installation
5.1 Hazard warnings
!
If any impurities get into the sprinkler, it is possible that the sprinkler could be destroyed
and that tters could be injured. Flush out the line thoroughly before connecting the water
supply.
!
Any unexpected emergence of a jet of water can lead to serious injury.
Make sure that the installation has been fully completed before turning on the water supply.
5.2 Installation instructions
• e thread connection on the pop-up sprinkler is 1½" NPT.
• For the thread seal, use hemp and sealing compound, e.g. Fermit Spezial or teon tape.
• e pop-up sprinkler should be tted in accordance with the 'Triton-L pop-up sprinkler installation
diagram' (see next page). In order to avoid any load pressure on the main line, you should denitely
use a exible connection.
• Providing a drainage pit directly connected to the drainage, as shown in the installation diagram, is
strongly recommended.
• For screwing in the connection joint the housing or housing edge of the pop-up sprinkler can be
rmly held or clamped.

5.5 Cabling
e laid 2-core cable is installed for the electrical connection of the TS120 impact sprinkler.
e cable is pulled through the right or left opening on the bottom of the housing into the
cable compartment.
e DBR/Y-6 cable connector kit (article no.:
ZH90032) for connecting the control cable to the
coil tted inside the sprinkler.
Open the cover of the cable compartment and
connect the solenoid cable. Please use the DBR/Y-6
connector kit for the connection.
Possible location
for pulling in the control cable
into the sprinkler

10
Put back the cables into the cable compartment
and close the cover.
e electrical connection is thus not exposed to the
soil, but is instead protectively integrated inside the
sprinkler and accessible again at any time.
is simplies any search for faults and any
maintenance work can be carried out at any time
without any earthwork.

6. Commissioning and Operation
6.1 Potential danger
!
When it starts up, the impact sprinkler rises up out of the housing and builds up full
pressure within about 5 seconds. The jet of water emitted can cause injury. For this reason
the following guidance must be followed when commissioning and operating the sprinkler:
• When the sprinkler is being operated in automatic mode,
there must be nobody present in the area.
• Operating personnel must not stand in the direction of the sprinkler’s jet.
!
If the sprinkler is not installed ush with the ground, people may be injured by a fall as a
result of stumbling or tripping. Therefore check prior to commissioning and regularly during
ongoing use whether the sprinkler cover shuts ush with the surrounding ground.
!
The sprinkler must not be operated without a closed cover for the cable compartment.
During operation the sprinkler head props itself against the edge of the cover and cannot
rotate freely without the cover.

6.2 Commissioning
a) Check electrical function:
Before any water supply to the sprinkler is opened, activate the coil by means of the controller. If you
hear a ‘clicking’ sound from the coil, the electrics are working properly. (e click is produced by the
movement of the armature.)
b) Ensure that <Manual opening> is set to AUTO (turn screw for <Manual opening> as far as it will go
to the left). is setting ensures that after water is supplied the sprinkler closes if it has no power.
c) Slowly open supply of water to the valve until operating pressure is built up.
It is possible that the sprinkler will briey open, but should then automatically close after at most
30 seconds.
d) Once the water supply has been opened and max. operating pressure has been reached,
check sprinkler and connection for leaks.
e) Check that sprinkler is working properly: Open sprinkler using <Manual opening> by moving the
screw for <Manual opening> into the position between AUTO and OFF (approx. 1 rotation).
Sprinkler head rises and starts to rotate.
!
Do not stand in front of the nozzle opening!
f) Close <Manual opening> and put into AUTO position (see point 6.2b).
Sprinkler must stop water ow within 30 seconds.
g) Keep repeating steps ‘e’ and ‘g’ until the sprinkler is working faultlessly.
h) Check once again that it works correctly when activated electrically from the controller.

6.3 Setting the sector
With this impact sprinkler the sector setting is innitely variable.
You can adjust the area to be watered by pulling or pressing on the relevant end of the top
or bottom spring stop.

7. Decommissioning and preparing for winter
For decommissioning please turn o the water supply and electricity supply of the pump.
During times of possible frost please ensure that there is no standing water in the sprinkler.
e TS120 impact sprinkler has an automatic emptying system.
e sprinkler has a discharge valve and can thus be emptied by gravity. To do this, the water is let out at
the deepest point of the main pipe, as a result of which the sprinkler empties itself. (Deep point emptying)
e remaining water does not any causes in the event of freezing.
WARNING!
Electrically activate the solenoid several times so that any residual water
is pushed out of the coil cavity.
During the winter we recommend activating the coil for approx. 1 minute
twice a week.
For springtime commissioning, see section 6.2.

8 Maintenance and repair work
!
An unexpected jet of water can cause serious injury. Prior to any maintenance or repair
work ensure that the water supply is securely turned off.
8.1 Maintenance
• Clean out the inside of the sprinkler housing using an industrial vacuum cleaner or similar
(as necessary).
• Cut sprinkler housing free of any overgrowing grass. It makes sense to carry out these jobs prior to
spring commissioning.
• Regularly check that the sprinkler is ush with the surface, especially in the case of natural grass.
8.2 Changing the nozzles
Please us the socket wrench for changing the nozzle.
Use SW10 for the driving nozzle and SW26 for the main nozzle.
8.3 Changing the nozzles
e sprinkler module needs to be taken out of the housing in order to carry out the repairs described
below.
• Lift the cover and secure the insert, with a
screw driver against snapping back. en clip

be necessary in order to take o the valve.

17
8.4 Removing the Valve Insert
• Fitting the valve using valve lifter RT17843 (TC version RT17845).
• Prior to tting, check valve for any damage to the membrane.
• Check for any dirt and clear away.
• Screw the valve insert with the stainless steel disc onto the valve lifter.
e chamfered surface of the stainless steel disc must point to the valve insert.
• In order to make tting easier, the valve insert can be slightly lubricated with oil or grease.
• Insert the valve down into the guide housing by applying some gentle taps.
• Using pliers RT17844, now t the retaining ring into the groove provided for it above the thrust
washer.
WARNING! The sprinkler insert is tted in reverse order.
