Installation. The valve box is to be installed outside, buried at ground level (1-2) or resting on the surface (3), ensuring
that the cover opening is free so that the valve inside the box can be programmed easily. If installed below ground, do
not place it in areas which are frequently walked over or passed over by mechanical means (eg. ride-on lawn mowers).

FITTING THE BATTERY. In order to operate the water timer requires two AAA (LR03)1.5V Alkaline batteries that
must be replaced with two new charged batteries at the start of each season and are sufficient for, at least the
entire irrigation.
To install or replace the battery, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the two screws on the valve box cover 1, remove them 2 and remove the cover 3.
- Unscrew the plastic cover on the water timer 4 and lift it up 5.
- Take out the water time 6.
- Unscrew the battery compartment plug 7, take out the battery-holder 8, and if present, remove the drained batteries.
- Fit the new batteries in the holder, observing the correct polarity 9.
- Replace the battery-holder into its housing 10 and screw down the plug checking that the seal is correctly
placed in its seat 11.
- Insert the water timer into its seat 12, screw the cover back on 13, close the valve box with its cover 14 and
secure it using the designated screws 15-16.

PROGRAMMING WATERING - Enabling programmes A and B and setting to off.
Activating/deactivating programmes A and B of the water timer is useful in managing:
- watering requirements based on the season: for example, programme A can be set for the summer - maximum watering requirements, and programme B for the spring - low watering requirements;
- simplified programming: if just one programme is sufficient for your watering requirements, it is possible to
eliminate the display of the pages of the other programme, simplifying setting operations for the programme
being used.
- setting to OFF: to temporarily stop watering without losing the programme settings, as described below.
The display normally shows the current TIME/DAY screen; press
to go into the time programming and press
it twice more.
Then press
to select which programme is to be enabled. The possible selections are 4
If programmes A and B are assigned on the same day, this could cause the simultaneous opening of the two
lines: the system does not have a sufficient flow rate, this could have a negative impact on the quality of the
watering.
Once the selection has been made, press
to confirm enabling of the programme/s displayed.
