1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Irrigation Valve
This Irrigation Valve, in conjunction with the Programming Unit
1242 and the Control Unit 1250 or with the Central Radio Control
Unit 1243 and the Radio Receiver 1244 / 1245, forms part of a
watering system for your garden.
1242 1250
1243 1244 / 1245
The Watering Valves are intended solely for outdoor use for fully
automatic control of individual irrigation systems. It is a benefit
to arrange a watering system into separate sections in case
of varying watering needs for different plant areas or if there is
insufficient water available for simultaneous operation of the
entire watering system.
The Irrigation Valve is installed upstream in the watering system
(e. g. Pop-up Sprinklers; Micro-Drip-System), for example, in the
ground.
Compliance with the enclosed operating instructions provided by
GARDENA is a prerequisite for proper use of the Irrigation Valve.
The Irrigation Valve must only be used in conjunction with the
Control Units / Radio Receivers approved by GARDENA.
2. For Your Safety
v Pay attention to the safety notes on the valve box.
Warning !
V Please read the operating instructions before using the
Irrigation Valve for the first time.
Winter Storage
V Before the frost period starts : see point 7. Protection
against Frost, “Winter storage”.
v Please observe the notes on safety in the operating instruc-
tions.
V In the case of dirty, sandy or contaminated water, the
GARDENA Central Filter Art. No. 1506 must be installed
upstream in the watering system.
The function of your watering system depends on the available
water pressure. Therefore, care should be taken not to overlap
watering cycles of the various watering circuits and to ensure
that the watering circuits you have planned will be supplied with
sufficient water at an adequate pressure.
Please refer to the planning instructions in the packaging of Pop-
up Sprinklers or the special brochure entitled “Watering Systems
– Sprinkler System Planning Guide” available from GARDENA.
