claber Aquauno Video-6 Plus Automatic Water Timer User Manual
INSTALLATION
Connect the timer to a tap and connect it to the system. Do not install the water timer inside valve boxes, below ground level or indoors. Do not use the water timer with chemicals or liquids other than water. Do not use the water timer with operating pressures lower than 0.5 bar (7.3 psi) or higher than 10 bar (145 psi).
FITTING THE BATTERY
Press the two side buttons to open the timer and insert a new, branded 9V
alkaline battery. Important: remember to turn on the water tap.
As soon as the battery is connected, the display switches on, the valve runs a
test cycle and the timer is set to 00:00.
SETTING THE TIME
Press the middle ENTER button; “OK” will show on the screen to indicate that
you can now enter the time. Press one of the arrows to set the time. Press and
hold the arrow to speed up programming. Once you have entered the time, press
ENTER to confirm.
PROGRAMMING
The timer can be used to set six daily irrigation cycles. Note: all programmes
are set in the same way. Programmes must be entered in chronological order,
within a 24-hour timeframe. The timer automatically advances by 1 minute with
respect to the set time, both when OPEN and CLOSED. Note: if the
symbol is flashing, this means
the timer is waiting for a command. Press any button.
SETTING THE FIRST IRRIGATION CYCLE
Opening. After setting the time, press the right arrow to open the page
for programme 1. The time 00:00 will show, preceded by a 1 (for programme
1). Press the middle ENTER button. You will see “OK” on the screen, meaning
the opening time can be set using the arrows (e.g. 05:00). You will see a 1
(for programme 1) at the top of the screen. Confirm the time by pressing
ENTER.
SETTING THE FIRST IRRIGATION CYCLE – Closing. Press the right arrow to go
to the page “CLOSED”. The timer automatically suggests a closing time 1 minute
after the opening time set (e.g. opening at 05:00, suggested closing time
05:01). The time has a 1 before it (for programme 1). Press ENTER. You will
see “OK” on the screen, meaning the closing time can be set using the arrows
(e.g. 05:20). Confirm the time by pressing ENTER. To set the opening and
closing times for the other programmes, repeat the procedure above.
WEEKLY PROGRAMMING
Press the right arrow to open the weekly programming page. Press ENTER to
select the days on which you want to irrigate. Use the arrows to position the
cursor under the day you want to enable or disable and press ENTER.
Note: day 1 is the day the timer is set for the first time and is used as
a reference. Example: If Thursday = day 1 and the intention is to skip
watering on Friday, the day to deselect is day 2. Position the cursor under
EXIT. Press ENTER to exit the weekly programming page.
MANUAL PROGRAMMING. Use the right arrow to open the manual programming
page. Manual programming is useful for running an additional irrigation cycle,
without deleting the programmes set. The timer automatically sets an
irrigation run time of 15 minutes. Press ENTER. Use the left arrow to start
irrigating. To interrupt the cycle before the end, press the right arrow and
then ENTER. Use the right arrow to return to the initial page (day/time.
DELETING A PROGRAMME. To delete a programme, go to CLOSED mode for the
programme you want to delete. Press ENTER, then press the two arrows together.
RESETTING THE TIMER. To fully reset the timer, press and hold the two arrow buttons together for at least 10 seconds, until 00:00 shows on the display.
RAIN SENSOR. You can connect the Rain Sensor (code 90915) to the timer by
replacing the existing bridge connector installed with a specific connector.
Irrigation will not start if the Rain Sensor container is full (at least 5 mm
of rainfall). If there is an irrigation cycle in progress, this is stopped
within a minute of the container being filled.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the filter at the end of each season and check it regularly. Turn off
the water tap and loosen the screw collar, turning anticlockwise. Loosen the
3/4″ screw collar of the tap connector, turning clockwise. Remove the filter.
Rinse the filter clean under running water. After washing, reassemble all
parts as before. To clean the internal components properly, please see the
diagram showing the mechanical parts to be disassembled/ reassembled at the
end of the season.
At the end of the season, before the winter frosts, disconnect the timer from
the tap, remove the battery and store the timer in a sheltered place, away
from damp, where the temperature does not fall below 3°C.
