3 Reduce Watering

You can reduce the durations set for all schedules 

at once in 10% increments, from 100% down  

to 10%. This saves you having to change each  

of the 6 schedules individually. 

Tip: Less watering is required in the spring and 

autumn than in the height of summer. Simply set 

the maximum watering duration for high summer  

as the default. Then reduce the watering duration 

for all schedules at once in convenient 10 % incre-

ments when there is less need for watering.  

Note: When you change the percentage, the dura-

tion is adjusted within the schedules and the 

“cloud” symbol appears. If the duration is not 

altered (= 100 %), the “sun” symbol is displayed.

Rain pause  

v

 (Fig. L):

1 Menu: Rain pause | 2 Pause / 3 days 

Pauses all watering operations without changing

days between 1 and 9. At the end of the pause,  

all schedules are reactivated.

Soil Moisture Sensor, Art. 1188 

(optionally available) 

v

 (Fig. D and N):  

1 Menu: Soil Moisture  Sensor 

Once the soil is sufficiently moist, a water-

ing operation is interrupted or a schedule is disa-

bled so that it cannot be activated. This does not 

affect active (manual) watering.

v

 (Fig. D and N): 

1 Connect soil moisture sensor

After a soil moisture sensor is connected, the 

 “sensor activated / deactivated” display will appear – 

this can take up to 1 minute. Select an option to 

activate/deactivate the sensor response. Use the 

switching point controller on the soil moisture sen-

sor to set the level of soil moisture that must be 

achieved before the sensor responds (see Opera-

tor’s Manual for GARDENA Soil moisture sensor).
