Nastavitev
1. Sestavljanje sistema
Connect the main pipe to the pump's outlet. Cut the pipe to desired lengths for each plant. Attach micro-drippers and flow control valves to the pipe using T-connectors, straight connectors, or cross connectors as needed. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. For easier assembly, soak the ends of the tubing in warm water for a few seconds before pushing them onto connectors.

2. Water Source and Pump Placement
Place the pump unit near your plants and ensure the water inlet hose with the filter is submerged in a water container (e.g., a bucket or bottle). The pump can be hung using the provided hook. Ensure the water source is stable and sufficient for your watering schedule.
3. Anti-Siphon Valve Installation
Install the anti-siphon valve on the main pipe, preferably above the water level of your reservoir. This prevents water from continuously siphoning out of the reservoir when the pump is off, which can lead to overwatering and water waste.

4. Napajanje
The system can be powered by 4 AA batteries (not included) or via the included USB cable. For continuous operation and as a backup, it is recommended to use both power sources simultaneously. Insert batteries into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity. Connect the USB cable to a 5V/1A power adapter (not included).

1. Setting Watering Schedule
Use the control panel buttons (OK, Up, Down) to set the watering frequency and duration. You can set the frequency from 1 hour to 7 days and the duration from 20 seconds to 30 minutes. The large LED screen provides a clear display of your settings.

2. Adjustable Water Flow
Each micro-dripper is equipped with a flow control valve. Rotate the blue valve to adjust the water output for individual plants, ensuring each plant receives the appropriate amount of water based on its type and size. The system supports watering up to 10 plants with a high flow rate of 24 liters per hour.

3. Ročno zalivanje
To manually water your plants without interrupting the preset schedule, press and hold the "OK" button. You can set the manual watering duration from 20 seconds to 30 minutes. This is useful for providing extra water when needed.

4. Delay Watering
If rain is expected or your plants do not require watering, you can delay the next scheduled watering cycle. This feature helps prevent overwatering and conserves water. The delay can be set from 1 to 24 hours.

5. Uporabniški vmesnik
The system features a clear LED display that shows important information such as remaining watering time, next watering time, low battery alerts, and water shortage alerts. This intuitive interface makes programming and monitoring simple.

Vzdrževanje
1. Čiščenje filtra
Regularly check and clean the filter at the end of the water inlet hose to prevent blockages and ensure optimal pump performance. Rinse the filter under running water to remove any debris.
2. Preverjanje puščanja
Periodically inspect all pipe connections and drippers for any signs of leakage. Tighten connections as necessary. If leaks persist, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and fully inserted into the connectors. Using plumber's tape on connections can help prevent leaks.
3. Zamenjava baterije
If using batteries, replace all 4 AA batteries when the low battery alert appears on the display. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
4. Zimsko skladiščenje
Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the system, drain all water from the pipes and pump, and store all components in a dry, frost-free location. This prevents damage from freezing water.
Odpravljanje težav
- Brez pretoka vode:
- Preverite, ali je rezervoar za vodo prazen.
- Ensure the filter is clean and not blocked.
- Verify that the pump is powered (check batteries or USB connection).
- Confirm the anti-siphon valve is correctly installed and not causing a blockage.
- Preverite, ali so cevi prepognjene ali zamašene.
- Puščanje vode:
- Ensure all pipe connections are tight and fully seated.
- Re-cut pipe ends if they are uneven or damaged, then re-insert firmly.
- Consider using plumber's tape on connections for a tighter seal.
- Črpalka se ne vklopi:
- Preverite nivo baterije in jo po potrebi zamenjajte.
- Ensure USB cable is securely connected to a working power source.
- If using a power bank, ensure it is not entering sleep mode and can provide continuous power.
- Neenakomerna porazdelitev vode:
- Adjust the individual flow control valves on each micro-dripper.
- Ensure the water source is positioned at an appropriate height relative to the plants to minimize pressure differences.
