Cleaning And Maintenance - hillvert HT-COSTIGAN-3600 Bedienungsanleitung

function properly (does not switch the device on and
off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off
using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should not
be operated and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the device from the solar panel before
making adjustments, changing attachments or
putting the device away. This preventive measure
reduces the risk of accidental activation.
d) When not in use, store in a safe place, away from
children and people not familiar with the device who
have not read the user manual. The device may pose
a hazard in the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Keep the device in perfect technical condition.
Before each use check for general damage and
especially check for cracked parts or elements and
for any other conditions which may impact the safe
operation of the device. If damage is discovered,
hand over the device for repair before use.
f) Keep the device out of the reach of children.
g) Device repair or maintenance should be carried out
by qualified persons, only using original spare parts.
This will ensure safe use.
h) To ensure the operational integrity of the device, do
not remove factory-fitted guards and do not loosen
any screws.
i) Do not move, adjust or rotate the device in the
course of work.
j) Clean the device regularly to prevent stubborn grime
from accumulating.
k) The device is not a toy. Cleaning and maintenance
may not be carried out by children without
supervision by an adult person.
l) Do not handle or hang the device holding it by the
cables or hoses.
m) It is forbidden to use the device for pumping
contaminated water (e.g. with oil, small particles,
abrasive solids, etc.)
n) Do not use the device for pumping salty water,
caustic substances, flammable liquids, etc.
o) Do not use the device at temperatures below zero
degrees Celsius. Frozen water will damage the
device.
p) Do not start the device if it is not filled with water.
q) Mount the solar panel so as to protect it against
accidental damage (e.g., as a result of a fall or
impact).
ATTENTION! Despite the safe design of the device
and its protective features, and despite the use of
additional elements protecting the operator, there
is still a slight risk of accident or injury when using
the device. Stay alert and use common sense when
using the device.
3. USE GUIDELINES

a) Carefully unpack all the device components.
b) Install the device in working position on the wall.
c) Connect the water level sensor cable (N) to the
corresponding socket (C3) on the control unit.
d) Cut off about 20 centimetres from hose (A). The
D
trimmed section will be used to make hoses (A1) and
(A2).
e) Cut the hose (A1) to the correct length (taking into
account the distance between the control unit and
the water tank). Connect the water filter (F) to the
hose (A1).
f) Connect the other end of the hose (A1) to the
appropriate connector on the control unit (C1).
g) Place the filter (F) and the water level sensor (E) in the
water tank.
h) Connect the hose (A2) to the connector (C2) on the
control unit.
F
i) Attach the connector (I) to the free end of the hose
(A2).
j) Trim about 10 centimetres of the hose (B), thus
creating hoses (B1) and (B2).
k) Connect the hose (B2) to the connector (J) so that the
hose (B2) points upwards.
l) Attach the anti-siphon valve (L) to the free end of the
hose (B2).
G
IMPORTANT! The anti-siphon valve (L) must be raised
above the level of water outlets. The anti-siphon valve
(L) must be positioned with respect to the hose (B2) as
illustrated in the figure below!
L1 L2
L1. Anti-siphon valve (L) inlet
L2. Anti-siphon valve (L) outlet
m) Connect a hose (B1) to the free end of the connector
(J).
n) Cut the length of the hose (B1) to make supply of
water to the plant possible.
o) Attach the connector (I) to the end of the hose (B1).
p) Place the support (H) next to the plant and place the
water supply hose (B1) on the support (H) to make
irrigation possible.
r) Attach the hose (B3) cut to the appropriate length
from the remaining length of hose (B2) to the end
of the connector (I) pointing down. Adjust the length
according to needs and to the height of the support
(H). Connect the spray nozzle (G) to the free end of
the hose (B3).
s) Repeat the process described in paragraphs m - p for
subsequent plants.
t) Insert the stopper (K) at the end of the hose (B2).
u) Connect the solar panel cable (M) to the socket (C4)
on the control unit.
3.3. DEVICE USE

3.3.2. OPERATION/SPRAYING TIME SETTINGS
Plant spraying time is adjusted by means of the timer knob
(1). Selection of the appropriate mode starts the operation
of the device, accounting for the following time intervals.
• T – Test mode. The green LED (2) will light up. The
device will work until the battery is discharged.
• 0 – Switch. The device stops, the diode (2) goes out.
B2 J
• 1-6 – Spraying time. Choosing an appropriate value
indicates the device operating time for which it will
start again after each 12-hour cycle, respectively: 30
seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 8 minutes,
and 12 minutes. The green LED (2) is on.
Example: Setting the timer knob (1) to „3" means
that the device will automatically start spraying for 2
minutes every 12 hours.
Discharged battery
If the battery is discharged, turn the spraying function off
by setting the timer knob (1) to „0" and leave the solar
panel in a sunny place for at least 6 hours to recharge the
battery.
No water in the tank
If the diode (2) on the control unit (C) starts flashing red
and the watering is switched off, it means that there is not
enough water in the supply tank. In order to restore the
proper operation of the device, refill the water tank.
PLEASE NOTE! When the LED (2) blinks alternately, i.e.,
green and red, it means that both problems described
above have occurred at the same time!

3.4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

a) Use only non-corrosive cleaners to clean the surface.
b) Never spray the device with water.
c) The device must be regularly inspected to check its
technical efficiency and spot any damage.
d) Use a soft cloth to clean the solar panel.
e) Regularly clean the solar panel to optimize the cell
charging.
