11. Manual Program-Independent On / Off Operation
11.1 Manual Watering Time (RUN TIME) The Water Computer can be operated manually at any time by pressing the man On / Off key 4. Pressing the key once opens the water flow. 0:30 RUN TIME appears in the LCD display. i.e. the watering time (RUN TIME) is 30 minutes. When the opening time (30 mins.) is over the valve closes. Setting at the Factory For safety reasons, the opening time is preset at the factory to 30 minutes but can be interrupted at any time by pressing the man On / Off key. Individual Setting In addition to the opening time of 30 minutes set at the factory it is also possible to set an individual opening time. 1. Press the man On / Off key. Valve opens. 2. Provided that RUN TIME is flashing the opening time can be changed as required from 0:00 to 0:59 using the L key. Note : If RUN TIME B is set to 0:00 the valve closes and remains closed even if the man On / Off switch is pressed (childproof). Changes to the opening time are saved, i.e. the changed time is valid for all manual value opening times in the future. 11.2 RESET Return to RUN TIME (factory preset) With RESET (setting all program data to zero) i.e. simultaneously pressing the L and O.K. keys for 2 seconds, the manual opening time of 30 minutes is reset. 11.3 Manual Opening / Closing of the Valve If the valve is opened automatically it can be closed prematurely at any time without altering the program data (starting time, watering time and watering days) by pressing the man On / Off key 4. If the valve was opened manually and a programmed watering starting time overlaps the manual opening time, the programmed starting time is suppressed. Example : The valve is opened manually at 9:00 am, the opening time is 30 minutes. A program with a starting time (START TIME) between 9:00 and 9:30 will in this case not run.

If the valve has been opened by the program, it can be closed at any time without altering the program data (starting time, watering time, and watering days) by pressing the man On / Off key 4.

9. Read / Change Program

You can run through the program levels to check the data you have entered by repeatedly pressing the Menu key and select and check the program steps by pressing O.K. Note : Values for watering days must be set again when passing them using the O.K. key. Old values are deleted ! You can change the watering programs as described under Programming.
10. Important Operating Information
With overlapping programs and identical watering days, the 1st watering starting time has priority and other programs are not initiated. Example : Program Watering starting time 4 : : 30 Watering duration 1: : 40 Watering days Mo Tu. X X X
The first program is run on Monday, the 2nd program is cancelled.

12. Battery

12.1 Status Indicator If the battery voltage falls below a certain level the Batt. indicator appears E. It is possible to initiate watering manually even if the battery capacity is too low (valve no longer opens), but programmed watering times, however, are not initiated. Even if the battery capacity is too low to run a program, if the valve is open it will be closed. The battery voltage is tested during the opening pulse. In this way you can test the capability of the battery at any time. To do this, simply press the On / Off key 4. If the valve opens and the Batt. indicator does not appear then the battery does not have to be changed. 12.2 Changing the Battery If the battery is changed within 1 minute the data you have entered is saved (program saved). When the battery is removed the display goes off and programs cannot be run while the battery is being changed. When the battery has been changed we recommend you check the data as described in Read / Change Program. If it takes longer than a minute to change the battery or if the battery power was already so low that there was no longer any opening pulse, the Water Computer must be manually reset (all program data set to zero). To do this, simultaneously press the L and O.K. keys. All the symbols appear on the LCD display. You must then reprogram the Water Computer. The current date / time which were previously displayed are saved.

.To prevent water penetrating the battery compartment, the Water Computer may only be installed in a perpendicular position with the sleeve nut pointing upwards.Program the Water Computer with the tap turned off. In this way you can avoid getting wet when trying out the manual On / Off function. You can remove the control unit from the housing to program the Water Computer.Only use the Water Computer outdoors. Warning ! The Water Computer must not be used indoors.The Water Computer must be stored in a dry place away from frost before the frosty season begins.The cover provided for the operating display must be used as shown in Fig. B. To protect the operating display against the weather the cover must be flipped over when you have finished programming the computer. Stick the programming help provided on the inside of the display cover.At high temperatures (over 60 C at the display) the LCD display may extinguish. This does not affect the program in any way. When the computer cools down the LCD display illuminates again.The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 C.The minimum operating pressure is 1 bar, the maximum operating pressure is 12 bar.Check the filter in the sleeve nut sary.
13. Notes on Safety and Operation
J regularly and clean if neces-
For safety reasons only a 9 V alkali-manganese battery (alkaline) type IEC 6LR61 must be used.
.Avoid tensile strain. Do not pull the hose connected to the Water Computer.Only use clear fresh water.
.The battery must be exchanged in time to prevent the Water Computer failing due to a low battery when you are away for longer periods of time. Make sure that the time the battery has been in operation and the time you are planning to be away does not add up to more than a year.The functional safety of the Water Computer depends on the capability of the battery. The Water Computer will only run for approx. a year if the alkali-manganese battery has a nominal voltage of at least 9 V. Check the battery before you buy it.

14. Options

14.1 Anti-Theft Protection (Fig. D) To protect your Water Computer against theft, the GARDENA anti-theft protection M (1815 - 00.791. 00) is available at GARDENA Service. The bracket on the anti-theft protection is fitted onto the back of the unit. Note that the screw included cannot be loosened once it has been screwed in. The bracket can be used, for example, to attach a chain.
14.2 GARDENA Automatic Water Distributor (Fig. G) Function Connecting the GARDENA Automatic Water Distributor (Art. No. 1198) allows you to control up to 6 watering lines with the Water Computer Profi C 1060. This is ideal where there is an insufficient amount of water or where individual areas of the garden have varying water requirements. It allows all watering lines to be operated one after another. Programming Using the special function, your Water Computer Profi C 1060 is able to take into account the special requirements of the Automatic Water Distributor, Art. No. 1198, when programming. Please pay attention to the following information: Please RESET the computer before setting the special function (by simultaneously pressing the L and O.K. keys). Note : To ensure the Automatic Water Distributor switches safely there must be at least 30 minutes between the programs entered in the Water Computer. Include breaks. When you have confirmed the special function with O.K. and have entered the data for the first program (see Programming chapter) all the programmes which follow will be pre-programmed automatically. The pre-programming takes into consideration the 30 minute break required between the programs as well as a minimum watering time of 30 seconds (display: 1 min.). This watering time is required to allow the Automatic Water Distributor to switch to the next outlet and to ensure that the order of the watering programs to the appropriate watering line is retained. The watering days entered for the watering program are valid for all other watering programs. Error Message (ERROR) You can alter the watering starting times and watering times pre-programmed by the Water Computer to meet your personal requirements. However, if you do not take into account the break times mentioned above, any changes you make are not accepted and an error message appears on the display (ERROR). RESET Function Since it is very easy for watering times to overlap slightly, especially when the beginnings and ends of programs are very close together, it is sensible to RESET the Water Computer (simultaneously press the L and O.K. keys) and to re-enter the watering data to prevent an error message appearing. 20

On / Off-Prog. If the watering programs are switched off after you have confirmed the special function (status indicator on Off-Prog.) all the programs which begin in this time are shortened to the minimum watering time of 30 seconds (display: 1 min.) This ensures that the order of the watering programs to the appropriate outlet of the Automatic Water Distributor is retained. By briefly opening the water flow the outlets on the automatic water distributor are switched further so that when the watering programs are reactivated (status indicator on On-Prog.) the original order of the outlets for the required watering program is retained. Soil Moisture Sensor, Rain Sensor When using the Water Computer Profi C 1060 together with the Automatic Water Distributor (Art. No. 1198), Soil Moisture Sensor (Art. No. 1187) or Rain Sensor (1189) please note the following: If the special function is activated and the Soil Moisture or Rain Sensor indicates sufficient moisture, watering is interrupted. The watering time of following watering programs is shortened to 30 seconds (display: 1 min.) until the Soil Moisture / Rain Sensor allows the watering programs to be resumed. The watering time originally entered then begins. Shortening the watering time when the soil is sufficiently moist ensures that the automatic water distributor is switched to the next outlet and therefore ensures that the correct order of the watering program for the respective distributor outlet is retained. 14.3 GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor (Fig. E) Together with the GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor (Art. No. 1187) watering is controlled considering the soil moisture. Assembly The Soil Moisture Sensor is connected to the socket control unit (Fig. A).

Programmed watering time
Budget-Function (% Run-Time) : The times of all stored watering programmes can be reduced centrally in intervals of 10 %, from 100 % down to 10 %, without having to change each interval programme. This is ideal if you wish to water your garden less in the Autumn than in the Summer.
1. Press man. On / Off-key to open the valve manually (or to close an open valve). R U N T I M E and the watering time in minutes (set to 30 minutes in the works) flash for 5 seconds on the display. 2. Whilst the watering time in minutes is flashing, the watering duration can be modified with the -key (between 0 : 00 and 0 : ) (example: minutes). The valve is opened. 3. Press man. On / Off-key to close the valve early. The valve is closed. The amended manual opening period is stored, i.e. each time the valve is opened manually in future the modified opening period is preset. If the manual opening period is amended to 0 : 00 , the valve is closed and also remains closed after the man. On / Off-key is pressed (child lock). If the valve has been opened manually and a programmed start of a watering period overlaps the manual opening period, the programmed starting time is suppressed. Example : The valve is opened at 9.00 a.m. manually, the opening period is 30 minutes. A program with a start time (START TIME) between 9.00 and 9.30 a.m. will not be undertaken in this case. 17

If a program has already been set on one of the 6 program memory settings, this can be modified without having to compile it from the beginning again. 1. Press Menu-key twice. Program memory setting 1 flashes. 2. Press O.K.-key to move to the next program step or modify program data with the -key and confirm with the O.K.-key. The valve can be opened or closed manually at any time. A program-controlled open valve can also be closed early without changing the program data (start time, watering duration and watering days).

Manual operation :

The factory settings are restored. v Press -key and O.K.-key simultaneously for 2 seconds. All the LCD symbols are displayed for 2 seconds and the display moves to the normal display. All the program data are set to zero. The manual watering period is set to 0 : 30 again. The time and day of the week are retained.
6. Automatic Water Distributor (optional)

Function

Connecting the GARDENA Automatic Water Distributor (Art. No. 1198) allows you to control up to 6 watering lines with the Water Computer C 1060 profi. Each of the 6 watering lines can only be actuated once a day. This is ideal where there is an insufficient amount of water or where individual areas of the garden have varying water requirements. It allows all watering lines to be operated one after another. Using the special function, your Water Computer C 1060 profi is able to take into account the special requirements of the Automatic Water Distributor, when programming. If program data have already been inserted beforehand, a RESET must be undertaken before the special function can be set. v Keep -key and O.K.-key pressed simultaneously for 2 seconds. To ensure the Automatic Water Distributor switches safely there must be at least a 30 minute break between the programs entered in the Water Computer. When you have confirmed the special function with O.K. and have entered the data for the first program (see 5. Programming ) all the programmes which follow will be pre-programmed automatically. 19

Important notes :

If no entry is made during programming for a period of more than 60 seconds, the normal display reappears.

Programming

With overlapping programs and identical watering days, the 1st watering starting time has priority and other programs are not initiated. Example : Program PROG Starting time START TIME Watering time RUN TIME Mo Watering days / Watering cycles Tu We Th Fr Sa So 2 nd 3 rd

Special function

4 : : 30

0: : 00

The first program is run on Monday, the 2 nd program is cancelled. 18
The pre-programming takes into consideration the 30 minute break required between the programs as well as a minimum watering time of 30 seconds (display: 1 min.). This watering time is required to allow the Automatic Water Distributor to switch to the next outlet and to ensure that the order of the watering programs to the appropriate watering line is retained. The watering days entered for the watering program are valid for all other watering programs.
By briefly opening the water flow the outlets on the Automatic Water Distributor are switched further so that when the watering programs are reactivated (% Run-Time) the original order of the outlets for the required watering program is retained.

Soil Moisture Sensor / Rain Sensor
Error message ( E R R O R )
You can alter the watering starting times and watering times pre-programmed by the Water Computer to meet your personal requirements. However, if you do not take into account the break times mentioned above, any changes you make are not accepted and an error message appears on the display ( E R R O R ). Since it is very easy for watering times to overlap slightly, especially when the beginnings and ends of programs are very close together, it is sensible to RESET the Water Computer and to re-enter the watering data to prevent an error message appearing. If the watering programs are switched off after you have confirmed the special function (status indicator on Off Prog.) all the programs which begin in this time are shortened to the minimum watering time of 30 seconds (display: 1 min.) This ensures that the order of the watering programs to the appropriate outlet of the Automatic Water Distributor is retained.
When using the Water Computer C 1060 prof together with the Automatic Water Distributor, Soil Moisture Sensor (Art. No. 1187) or Rain Sensor electronic (Art. No. 1189) please note the following : If the special function is activated and the Soil Moisture or Rain Sensor indicates sufficient moisture, watering is interrupted. The watering time of following watering programs is shortened to 30 seconds (display: 1 min.) until the Soil Moisture / Rain Sensor allows the watering programs to be resumed. The watering time originally entered then begins. Shortening the watering time when the soil is sufficiently moist ensures that the automatic water distributor is switched to the next outlet and therefore ensures that the correct order of the watering program for the respective distributor outlet is retained.
