1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Watering Controller

The watering controller is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

This Watering Controller is part of a garden irrigation system.

Recommended accessories: the watering valve (24V) Art. 1278,

the valve boxes Art. 1254 / 1255 and the connection cable

Art. 1280 and the cable clips Art. 1282.

These products allow you to set up fully automatic irrigation

systems, which can be designed to cater for varying water

requirements of different plant areas and ensure that the entire

system functions correctly in case of insufficient water supply.

Compliance with the operating instructions provided by GARDENA

is a prerequisite for proper use of the Watering Controller.

Please note

2. Safety Instructions

Watering Controller:

The Watering Controller must only

be operated with the 24-V (AC)

power supply unit provided.

vProtect the 24-V (AC) power supply unit

from moisture when connected.

The Watering Controller (without power supply

unit) is splash proof.

vAvoid, however, spraying the Watering

Controller directly with water.

To prevent loss of data if a power failure

occurs, only use a 9 V alkaline battery

IEC 6LR61 to buffer data. We recommend

using batteries manufactured by Duracell

and Energizer (do not use rechargeable

batteries).

tery to prevent loss of data if a power failure occurs.

1. Raise cover 1and pull downwards.

2. Insert the cable of the power supply unit into the 24VAC

terminals and screw tight.

The wiring diagram is located inside the cover

3. Insert cables for the valves (e. g. 7-wire GARDENA connection

cable Art. 1280 for up to 6 valves) in the clips with the numbers

and Cand screw tight. (see also

“

Connect valves

”

4. If necessary, insert the sensor cable (e. g. GARDENA moisture

sensor Art. 1187 ) in the sensor connection 3.

5. If you intend to use the master channel (e. g. Art. 1273), insert

the cable for the master channel into the terminals labelled

Connecting your

Watering Controller:

Master Channel:

Connecting valves:

The GARDENA extension modules Art. 1277 with 2 channels are

available as an optional extra. Up to 4 expansion modules can be

connected and in this way 12 channels can be controlled via the

base unit.

1. Break off bar 4from the watering controller (or already con-

nected expansion module).

2. Insert connection links 8into the watering controller (or an

expansion module already connected) and push the expansion

module on.

3. Secure expansion module via the clamps 9.

4. Connect the expansion module cable 5using the connector 6

(if connecting another expansion module, connect the expan-

sion modules using the expansion module connector 7).

The expansion modules are detected immediately by the

watering controller when connected.

5. Push on cover of watering controller and the expansion module.

The master channel is a channel that can be operated at the same

time as other channels. This is important, for example, if you want

to use a pump to supply your irrigation system with water and if

the pump should always be activated each time an irrigation valve

is activated. The master channel closes 20 seconds before the end

of the program so that the system is not under pressure.

The pump can be operated, for example, using the GARDENA

Pump Control Art. 1273 that is connected to the master channel.

Labelling the valves:

1Label the valves (1

6), so that the channels (1

4) of the

Watering Controller and the channels (5and 6) of the

expansion module can be clearly assigned to the valves.

Connecting the valves to the Valve Box:

2Connect one cable of the valve V1 to the cable terminal 1of

the valve box.

3Connect the other cable of the valve V1 to a cable terminal C

of the valve box (All 4 cable terminals Care interconnected

and equivalent to one another).

4Connect one cable of the valve V2 to the cable terminal 2of

the valve box.

5Connect the other cable of the valve V2 to a cable terminal C

of the valve box.

Other valves can be connected similarly to

and

Connecting the Watering Controller to the Valve Box:

6Connect a cable terminal Cof the Watering Controller to a

cable terminal Cof the valve box. Both cable clips Care

connected to each other and equivalent.

7Connect the cable terminal of channel 1to the cable terminal 1

of the valve box.

8Connect the cable terminal of channel 2to the cable terminal 2

of the valve box.

Other channels can be connected similarly to the channels

and

Connect extension module:

Example: with 2 valve boxes V3

(Art. 1255)

Cable cross-section of the connection cable:

The maximum permissible distance between the Watering

Controller and the valve depends on the cross-section of the

connection cable. For a distance of 30 m, the cross section is

0.5 mm2and 0.75 mm2for a distance of 45 m. No more than

3 valves must be in operation at the same time.

The GARDENA connection cable Art. 1280 is 0.5 mm2in size

and is 15 m long. The connection cable can be connected so

that it is watertight using the cable clip Art. 1282.

VIf using the expansion module 2040:

Hold the drilling template supplied against the wall and mark

the holes with a pen.

1. Screw the mounting plate 8for the watering controller (and,

if applicable, the mountings for the expansion modules) to

the wall.

2. Hook the watering controller (with expansion module, if appli-

cable) from above into the mounting plate 8so that its back

is against the mounting plate (and into the mountings for the

expansion modules if applicable).
