Introduzione
The RAINPOINT 2-Way Brass Irrigation Timer is designed to automate your garden and lawn watering, providing efficient and flexible control over your irrigation system. This manual will guide you through the installation, programming, and maintenance of your new device, ensuring optimal performance and water conservation.
Caratteristiche del prodotto
- Ingresso in ottone al 100%: Compared to plastic inlets, the RAINPOINT two-zone irrigation controller's brass inlet reduces thread wear and handles higher water pressures, ensuring a longer lifespan.
- Smart Dual-Zone Irrigation: The RAINPOINT irrigation controller features 2 independent outlets, allowing you to water two different areas from one faucet. Each zone can be set with different start times, durations (from 1 min to 3 h 59 min), and frequencies (every 1-12 hours or every 1-7 days). This helps you easily and efficiently manage your garden, yard, and lawn irrigation.
- Rain Delay and Manual Irrigation: This irrigation timer features a 24-hour, 48-hour, and 72-hour rain delay function which, when activated, skips the preset watering schedule and automatically resumes the normal schedule to prevent overwatering. With the 'Manual' button on the timer, you can water at any time (from 1 minute to 6 hours) without interrupting the preset watering schedule.
- Durevole e duraturo: Designed with a 360° swivel joint for tool-free installation and an integrated metal filter that supports water pressure up to 35 kg. The IP65 certified high-strength plastic casing and robust construction ensure durability. A sealing ring has been added to the battery cover to prevent water leaks.
- Protezione batteria scarica: The RAINPOINT irrigation controller features a 2.5-inch LED display for immediate monitoring of irrigation schedules and real-time battery status. If the battery is low, the timer valve automatically shuts off to prevent water waste and protect your landscape, ensuring peace of mind even when you are away.
