4. Nastavení a instalace
4.1. Instalace baterie
The programmer requires one 9V alkaline battery (not included) for operation. A fresh battery is typically sufficient for an entire season.
- Gently unscrew and remove the top programmer unit from the valve body by turning it counter-clockwise.
- Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the programmer unit.
- Vložte novou 9V alkalickou baterii a dbejte na správnou polaritu.
- Carefully reattach the programmer unit to the valve body, aligning the threads and turning clockwise until secure. Ensure the seal is properly seated to maintain IP68 rating.
Figure 2: Battery Installation. This diagram illustrates the steps for removing the programmer unit, inserting the 9V battery into its compartment, and reattaching the unit to the valve body.
4.2. Fyzická instalace
The solenoid valve can be installed directly onto a tap or a water outlet. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Ensure the flow direction indicated on the valve body (marked 'FLOW') matches the water flow.
- Above Ground Installation: Connect the 1-inch F (26-34 mm) input thread to your water source and the output thread to your irrigation line. Hand-tighten or use a wrench gently to ensure a leak-free connection.
- Podzemní instalace: The valve is IP68 rated and can be installed in a cockpit or valve box for protection. Ensure the valve is placed on a bed of gravel for drainage and that the valve box allows for easy access for maintenance.
