Troubleshooting - Hozelock 2214 Bedienungsanleitung

lights or other bright lights that come on during the night as
these might interfere with the recorded light levels and cause the
controller to come on at the wrong time.
Ideally, you should not set up your controller in a heavily shaded
passageway or behind buildings where light levels remain low
all day long. Do not position the controller inside buildings such
as garages or sheds where it will not receive natural daylight to
function correctly.
The controller is designed to be positioned directly underneath an
outdoor tap. Do not position the controller on its side or lying on the
ground whereby rainwater cannot flow away from the product.
1 hour delay
(when using 2 Sensor Controllers together)
If you install two Sensor Controllers you might want to stagger the
start times to prevent pressure loss when two appliances are used
simultaneously – for example sprinklers.
Remove the delay plug from the storage location on the back of
the control panel (Fig. 2) and fit the plug on the location below the
batteries.
With the plug inserted the one hour delay affects all automatic
watering. The delay period of one hour cannot be changed.
Manual operation (water now)
You can turn on the water controller at any time by pressing the
Water Now button.
6
Water now function
Press Once 10 minutes watering
30 minutes watering
Press Twice
60 minutes watering
Press Three times
Cancels Water Now
Press Four times
The LED light will come on to indicate you have turned the controller
on and will start to flash when the valve has opened. Depending on
the mode selected the lights will count down as the time lapses; So
if you press the button 3 times to water for 60 minutes, after the
first 30 minutes the top light will stop flashing and the bottom two
lights will continue to flash.
If you decide to stop manual watering at any time simply press on
the Water Now button until all the green lights stop flashing. You
will hear the motor operate the internal valve turning the water off.
How do I cancel an automatic watering operation
The button can also be used as a manual override to cancel
any current automatic watering operation that has started. The
schedule will then resume.
Note: To protect battery life the water controller can only be turned
on and off a maximum of 3 times in one minute.
Battery Level Check
(Press And Hold Down The Water Now Button)
3x Green Lights Battery level is Excellent
2x Green Lights Battery level is Good
1x Green Light Battery level is ok but consider replacing
them soon
1x Red Light Battery level is low - replace the batteries
now
Failure prevention mode
A built in safety feature detects when the battery levels have
dropped to a level that could fail whilst the valve is open and result
in wasting water. The safety mode prevents the controller from
turning on until the batteries have been replaced. The LED indicator
light will flash red when the failure prevention mode has been
activated. The Water Now function will also not operate until the
batteries have been replaced.
This product is not designed to be used in sub-zero (frost)
temperatures. During winter months drain any remaining
water out of your timer and bring it indoors until the next
watering season.
