3.5.1. KIT mode
The pump keeps the installation pressurised; when there is demand for
water the pump starts up, stopping when there is no longer any water
consumption.
The start-up pressure is set to 2 bars.

3.5.2. Automatic mode

In automatic mode the pump starts up and stops when so indicated by
any of the four sprinkler programmes.
When a sprinkler zone is activated the pump begins to operate as in KIT
mode, which means that if for any reason the solenoid valve of the
sprinkler zone does not open the pump would stop when it detected that
there was no water consumption.
When there is a sprinkler zone activated, this is indicated as follows:

3.5.3. CHECK mode

This mode of operation is used to check correct sprinkler installation.
When this operational mode is selected the pump starts up and sprin-
kler zone 1 is activated for 10 minutes; it then passes to the second
zone and so forth until it reaches the fourth zone; when all the zones
have been sprinkled it returns to the mode of operation it was in before.
Use the 'OK' key to activate the next sprinkler zone.
Use the '+', '-' keys to increase or decrease each zone's sprinkling time,
which by default is 10 minutes per zone. The minimum time is 1 minute
and the maximum 99 minutes.

3.7. Programming the automatic programmes
There are four programmes, each of which has the start time and the
sprinkling time of each sprinkler zone, while the day of the week on
which it is to be activated can also be set to include one day or several
days. A programme which has no day activated is a deactivated pro-
gramme, while a sprinkler zone with a time of '--' means that that zone
will not be activated in that programme.

All the programmes are stored in a special memory which retains the
programmes even during very lengthy power cuts.

menu, follow the steps below:
• Select the programme number, using the '+','-' keys to choose the des-
ired programme and 'OK' to validate.
• Enter the programme start time, beginning with the minutes and follo-
wed by the hours; use the '+','-' to adjust the value and 'OK' to confirm.

The sprinkling time for each station can be set between 1 and 99 minu-
tes, a zero value being indicated by the "--" sign, which means that the
station will not be activated.
• Enter the days of the week on which the programme will be active.
• Use the '+' key to confirm the day which is flashing and move on to the
next one.
• Use the '-' key to delete the day which is flashing and move on to the
next one.
• Use the 'OK' key to confirm the active days which will all be flas-
hing, and if they are correct press 'OK' again and the programming
will be completed. If you wish to adjust the days again, press any
other key.
Active days
Programme no.
If two or more programmes overlap, so that one sprinkling starts when
another is activated, the second one will be placed in a queue and will
activate when the first finishes.
For the automatic programmes to activate, the programmer has to be
set to AUTO mode of operation.
3.8. Protective mechanisms
The circuit is capable of detecting various types of errors, which will be
displayed on screen with the following codes:
• 1 : Indicates that the solenoid valve of zone one is short-circuited.
• 2 : Indicates that the solenoid valve of zone two is short-circuited.
• 3 : Indicates that the solenoid valve of zone three is short-circuited.
• 4 : Indicates that the solenoid valve of zone four is short-circuited.
