GARDENA 1197 Water Distributor Automatic Instruction Manual
Translation of the original instructions from German.
Please read these operating instructions carefully and observe the information
they contain. Use these operating instructions to familiarize yourself with
the product, the proper use and the safety instructions.
For safety reasons, children and young people under the
age of 16, as well as people not familiar with these operating instructions,
should not use this product. Persons with reduced physical or mental abilities
may use the product only if they are supervised or instructed by a responsible
person. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
product. Never operate the product when you are tired, ill or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine.
Where to use your GARDENA Water Distributor automatic
Correct use:
- In use with the GARDENA Water Computer Art. 1892, the Water Distributor automatic provides fully automatic control of 2 to 6 watering channels.
- It is suitable for private use in the home- and hobby garden exclusively outdoors for controlling sprinklers and irrigation control systems.
- Use of the Water Distributor automatic is particularly recommended if the water pressure is insufficient for simultaneous operation of irrigation accessories or -systems, or if several plant areas with varying water requirements are to be fully automatically irrigated.
- The Water Distributor automatic can be operated fully automatically in combination with a GARDENA Water Computer, or manually by opening / shutting the water tap.
- To operate the Water Distributor automatic correctly, these operating instructions must be followed.
Please note
**DANGER ! Physical injury!
The Water Distributor may not be used for industrial use or in connection with
chemicals, food or easily flammable or explosive materials.**
Safety instructions
The Water Distributor automatic may be positioned at a maximum of 1.5 m lower than the highest connected accessory.
The minimum water pressure for secure switching operation during irrigation is 1 bar. If too many devices are connected to one line, the pressure may fall below 1 bar and will be insufficient for proper operation. To increase water pressure, we recommend the GARDENA Tap Connector Art. 2801 / 2817 with ³⁄₄” hoses on the inlet side.
Due to the switch mechanism of the Water Distributor, there may be drop formation during further switching at the outlets.
Please note: on completed irrigation, the higher-lying connecting device empties over the lowest-placed device.
For water containing sand, a pre-filter must be used.
The Water Distributor should not be connected to Pressure Tank Units as these present too large pressure fluctuations.
Functioning is only guaranteed with Original GARDENA accessories.
The individual outlets can only be operated one after the other.
For secure switching function of the Water Distributor, the minimum water discharge quantity is 20 l/h. E.g. for control of the Micro-Drip System, a minimum of 10 two litre Drip Heads is required.
The Micro-Drip Master Unit may not be installed on the inlet side of the Water Distributor.
Danger!
Small parts could be swallowed during assembly and there is a risk of
suffocation from the poly bag. Keep infants away during assembly.
Assembly
Assemble mounting plate:
With the mounting plate 1 , the Water Distributor can be mounted on the ground or on a wall (inlet on top).
- Using the mounting plate 1 , mark the drill holes and drill the 4 holes.
- Screw the mounting plate tight with 4 screws 2 (not included).
Lock Water Distributor:
- From above, move the Water Distributor on the mounting plate 1 until it locks into place.
Unlock the Water Distributor:
- Press the release button R and pull the Water Distributor upwards.
Initial Operation
Connect Water Distributor:
Inlet side:
- Remove the rubber seal 4 from the Tap Connector 3 and replace with the filter 5.
- Screw the Tap Connector 3 onto the connection on the inlet side 6 and connect with a hose to the Water Computer or water tap.
Outlet side:
2 to 6 outlets may be used. Outlets 1 and 2 must always be used. The outlets 3 to 6 can be switched on using the flow levers 8. 5 Tap Connectors 3 and 3 end caps 7 are included. Outlets not being used must be closed with an end cap 7.
Setting flow lever On / Off:
- Open protection cover 9.
- Set flow levers 8 for used outlets (e.g. 3 and 4 ) on On.
- Set flow levers 8 for not-used outlets (e.g. 5 and 6 ) on Off.
- Close protection cover 9 and lock-in.
Connect used / not-used outlets:
- Screw Tap Connectors 3 o nto the used outlets (e.g. 1 to 4 ).
- Close not-used outlets (e.g. 5 and 6 ) with end caps 7.
- Connect used outlets 1 to 4 with the devices.
Important:
The flow levers (On / Off) must match up with the outlets (used / not-
used).
The programmed numbers of the Water Computer must match up with the outlets in
use.
Operation
Set open outlet on the Water Distributor:
Behind the viewing window 10, the currently open outlet is shown. If irrigation is to be done (manually) through a different outlet, or if the open outlet does not match up with the programmed of the Water Computer, the desired open outlet can be selected with the dial disc 11.
- Press dial disc 11 until the desired open outlet (e.g. 3) is shown in the viewing window 10.
With Water Computer:
When using a GARDENA Water Computer Art. 1892, “Menu: Water Distributor automatic“ should be used. Here, the 5 min. pause between programmed required for secure further switching is automatically considered.
- Set the programmed (irrigation times) for the outlets in use.
- Press dial disc 11 until the open outlet in the viewing window 10 matches the desired programmed of the Water Computer.
Example for 4 used outlets and the use of “Menu: Water Distributor automatic” with the Water Computer 1892:
In this example, irrigation is made through the used outlets 1 to 4.
Programmed Outlet

Fr| Sa| Su
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| 5: 00| 0 : 30| X| | | | X| |

| | | | | | |
Between each programmed, a minimum of 5 min. pause is automatically considered. If the irrigation days are not identical for all days (e.g. Programmed / Outlet 2), irrigation is made for 30 seconds at not-used outlets. This ensures that the Water Distributor further switches on to the next programmed outlet (e.g. on Monday from Outlet 1 to Outlet 3).
Discontinue operating irrigation:
If “Menu: Water Distributor automatic” is activated then operating irrigation can be discontinued through the Man. button on the Water Computer, without disturbing the matching of the programmed to the open outlets.
- Press Man. button on the Water Computer during irrigation. Irrigation will be discontinued and the Water Distributor switches to the next outlet in use, the Water Computer switches to the next programmed.
With Moisture Sensor:
The Moisture Sensor Art. 1188 may only be used together with the Water Computer Art. 1892 and operating “Menu: Water Distributor automatic”.
If the Moisture Sensor signals sufficient moisture, the “Menu: Water Distributor automatic” shortens irrigation to 30 seconds so that the Water Distributor will further switch to the next outlet in use. Without “Menu: Water Distributor automatic” irrigation would not be carried out. Matching of the programmed to the outlets in use would thereby be lost.
- Please follow the operating instructions of the Water Computer.
Putting into Storage
Storage / storage during winter:
ATTENTION ! A Water Distributor may be damaged as the
product is not frost-resistant!
- Protect the Water Distributor against frost.
- Loosen connections.
- If required, unlock Water Distributor and remove from the mounting plate.
- Store Water Distributor in a dry, frost-protected place.
The storage location must be out of reach for children.
Maintenance
Clean filter and viewing window:
Regularly check the filter.
- Unscrew Tap Connector 3.
- Remove filter 5 and clean.
- Screw Tap Connector 3 with filter 5 back on to the connection on the inlet side 6.
- Press catch 12 on viewing window 10 upwards, remove viewing window and clean it.
- Refit viewing window **10.
**
Rinse Water Distributor:
A dirty Water Distributor can affect the switch mechanism. We recommend
rinsing the Water Distributor once a year.
- Set all flow levers on On and remove the end caps.
- Open the water tap or set Water Computer to manual irrigation.
- After 30 sec., press dial disc so that next outlet will be rinsed out.
- Repeat Number 3 for all outlets.
Troubleshooting
ATTENTION !
If the programmed are not correctly matched to the outlets then significant
damage can result through over-watering or drying-out as the programmed will
then be carried out through the incorrect outlets!
- Make sure that the programmed are correctly matched up to the outlets.
