Inngangur
The DIG ECO1ASV.075 is an innovative single-station irrigation controller designed for efficient water management. This unit is powered entirely by ambient light (solar energy), eliminating the need for batteries or external AC power. It comes pre-mounted on a 3/4-inch anti-siphon valve, making it suitable for both drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. The integrated anti-siphon valve includes flow control and internal/external bleed features, crucial for protecting your household water supply from contamination. Its patented photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system ensure reliable operation in various light conditions, providing continuous power to the controller.

Uppsetning og uppsetning
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your ECO1ASV.075 controller. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight.
- Undirbúa síðuna: Choose a location that receives adequate ambient light throughout the day for the solar panel. The valve should be installed above the highest sprinkler head or emitter in the zone to ensure proper anti-siphon function.
- Tengjast við vatnsveitu:
- Identify the inlet (upstream) and outlet (downstream) ports on the anti-siphon valve. Arrows on the valve body typically indicate flow direction.
- Connect the inlet side of the valve to your main water supply line (e.g., garden hose, PVC pipe).
- Connect the outlet side of the valve to your irrigation system (drip line or sprinkler manifold).
- Use appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) on all threaded connections to prevent leaks.
- Tryggið eininguna: While the valve provides a stable base, ensure the entire assembly is securely positioned to prevent accidental damage or dislodgement.
- Upphafsgjald: Allow the unit to sit in ambient light for at least 2-3 hours before initial programming to ensure the internal energy management system is sufficiently charged.

Notkunarleiðbeiningar
The ECO1ASV.075 controller features a simple interface for programming your irrigation schedule.
Stjórnartengi
The controller has an LCD screen and seven buttons:
- LCD skjár: Sýnir núverandi tíma, stillingar forritsins og stöðu.
- Hnappar: Used for navigation, setting values, and manual operation. Refer to Image 2 for button layout.
Programming Your Schedule
Follow these steps to set up your watering program:
- Activate Screen: Touch any button to activate the LCD screen if it is off.
- Stilla núverandi tíma: Navigate to the time setting mode (consult the quick guide on the controller's cover or full manual for specific button presses) and set the current time.
- Set Watering Start Time: Choose the desired time for your irrigation cycle to begin.
- Set Run Time: Program the duration of each watering cycle. The controller allows run times from 1 minute up to 5 hours and 59 minutes, adjustable in 1-minute increments.
- Stilla vökvunartíðni: Select how often the irrigation cycle should repeat (e.g., daily, every other day, specific days of the week).
- Vista stillingar: Ensure all settings are saved before exiting the programming mode.
Handvirk notkun
To manually turn the water on or off, or to initiate a manual watering cycle:
- Locate the manual operation button (often indicated by a water drop or 'ON/OFF' symbol).
- Press the button to cycle through manual options (e.g., manual ON, manual OFF, manual cycle).
- Confirm your selection. The valve will open or close accordingly.
Viðhald
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your DIG ECO1ASV.075 controller.
- Þrif á sólarplötum: Periodically wipe the solar panel on top of the controller with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. A clean panel ensures maximum light absorption and power generation.
- Valve Inspection: Annually inspect the anti-siphon valve for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
- Vetrarvæðing (ef við á): In regions with freezing temperatures, disconnect the unit from the water supply and drain all water from the valve and irrigation lines to prevent freeze damage. Store the controller in a protected, non-freezing environment.
- Fjarlæging rusl: Ensure no debris obstructs the valve's internal components or the anti-siphon mechanism.
Úrræðaleit
If you encounter issues with your ECO1ASV.075 controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Vandamál | Möguleg orsök | Lausn |
|---|---|---|
| Controller screen is blank or dim. | Insufficient ambient light for charging. | Move the unit to a location with more direct or consistent ambient light. Allow several hours for charging. |
| Valve does not open/close. | Low power, solenoid issue, or debris in valve. | Ensure controller is charged. Check solenoid wire connection. Inspect valve for debris and clear if necessary. |
| Vatn lekur úr loka. | Loose connections, damaged O-rings, or debris in valve seat. | Tighten all connections. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. Flush the valve to remove debris. |
| Program not running as scheduled. | Incorrect programming, low power, or manual override active. | Verify program settings (start time, run time, frequency). Ensure controller is charged. Check if manual override is active and deactivate it. |
