The RF module is fully watertight and will function even when installed permanently under water at a depth of up to one metre (ingress protection IP68).

It can be installed in the open, or in a cup underground.

To ensure it is watertight, make sure that the control unit is aligned and inserted in the guides (3), and that the clear cover is fully screwed on right up to the seal, which must be correctly positioned.

The RF module can operate up to four 9V bistable solenoid valves. Connect the black wire to the negative pole (black wire) of each solenoid valve (common). Connect the red wire to the positive pole (red wire) of each solenoid valve.

Unscrew the transparent cover. Remove the control unit. Unscrew the battery compartment plug, take out the battery-holder, and if present, remove the drained batteries.

Fit the new batteries in the holder, observing the correct polarity. Retighten the cap, checking that the seal is positioned correctly in its seat. Align the control unit with the guide on the casing and fit it back into place. Retighten the transparent cover, checking that the seal is in its seat.

Warning: use branded AAA Alkaline 1.5 V batteries (not rechargeable) only.
Once the batteries are fitted, an initialization routine will start (display Leds light up in sequence, valves close in sequence).

Remove the cover on the back of the remote control and insert 2 branded alkaline AAA 1.5V batteries (not rechargeable).

N.B. Match up the poles as marked inside the compartment (++ - -).

30 seconds after having fitted the batteries, or pressed any of the buttons, the Leds on the panel will go out: to refresh the display, press any button.

The RF module can be programmed automatically using the RF remote control (code 8347 manages up to 2 RF devices/ code 8348 manages up to 6 RF devices), sold separately. Without the RF remote control, you can only irrigate manually.

The display provides information about all the programming pages in the order they appear: the arrows allow the user to scroll through the different pages. The OK key lets you access the EDITING of the parameter displayed.

Warning: a start time cannot be set for each individual line. Only the first start time is set. The other lines will come on one by one depending on the times selected for each of them. To set the other three start times, you need to add together the minutes entered for each line, plus one minute automatically calculated by the timer. Watering cycles continue in sequence (once line 1 is finished, line 2 starts and so forth).

The unit can control up to 4 irrigation lines. On the remote control, each line has two independent programmes, A and B. In both programmes up to 4 daily start times can be set in a 24-hour span. Each start time begins a watering cycle on all 4 lines, making each of them work one after the other for the run time set, which can be from a minimum of 1 minute up to a maximum of 60 minutes.

Warning: a start time cannot be set for each individual line. Only the first start time is set. The other lines will come on one by one depending on the times selected for each of them.
