Асноўныя характарыстыкі
- 180° Rotatable LCD Screen: The digital LCD screen can be rotated 180° for easy reading of measurements from any angle. The display automatically shuts off after 1 minute of inactivity or no water flow to conserve battery.
- Professional Water Loss Protection: Features an improved circulation speed flow impeller to minimize clogging and a built-in rubber ring with multi-layer threaded interface to prevent leaks.
- 4 Water Flow Measurement Modes: Provides real-time water flow measurement, last water consumption, total water consumption 1, and total water consumption 2. Total consumption modes can be reset by long-pressing the MENU button.
- High-Precision Hall Sensor: Equipped with a sensitive Hall sensor for quick and reliable measurements, accurate to ±5%.
- Ахова вады: Accurately measures water usage to prevent overwatering and reduce water bills.

Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі
Дысплей і кнопкі
The water meter features a digital LCD screen and two control buttons: a Direction button and a MENU button.
- Кнопка напрамкі: Briefly press to rotate the LCD screen 180° for optimal viewкут нахілу.
- Кнопка МЕНЮ: Press to cycle through different measurement modes. Long press to reset total consumption records.
Рэжымы вымярэнняў
The device offers four distinct measurement modes:
- Рэжым патоку: Displays the real-time water flow rate (e.g., GAL/Min or L/Min).
- Last Water Consumption: Shows the volume of water consumed during the previous watering session.
- Total Water Consumption 1 (TOTAL 1): Accumulates the total water consumption. This mode can be reset independently.
- Total Water Consumption 2 (TOTAL 2): Another independent accumulator for total water consumption, useful for tracking different periods or applications.
To switch between modes, briefly press the МЕНЮ button. To clear the record in TOTAL 1 or TOTAL 2 mode, long press the МЕНЮ button until the display resets.

Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне
- Уборка: Працярыце вонкавую паверхню лічыльніка вады мяккай губкайamp тканіна. Не выкарыстоўвайце абразіўныя ачышчальнікі або растваральнікі.
- захоўванне: When not in use, especially during winter or freezing temperatures, remove the water meter from the hose/tap. Drain any remaining water and store it indoors in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage.
- Замена батарэі: Replace the CR2032 battery when the display becomes dim or unresponsive. Follow the battery installation steps.
- Gasket and Filter Check: Periodically inspect the rubber gaskets and the included filter for wear or debris. Replace them if necessary to maintain a leak-free connection and accurate flow.
Important: Keep from freezing. The flow meter should be removed and stored indoors in winter seasons to avoid potential damage.
Ліквідацыю непаладак
- Няма дысплея / Цёмны дысплей:
- Check if the CR2032 battery is installed correctly with the positive (+) side up.
- Заменіце батарэю на новую.
- Пераканайцеся, што вечка батарэйнага адсека шчыльна зачынена.
- Няправільныя паказанні:
- Ensure the water meter is installed correctly and the flow direction is consistent.
- Check for any blockages or debris in the meter's inlet or outlet.
- Verify that the water flow rate is within the specified operating range (0.13-12 GAL/Min or 0.5-45.5 L/Min). Very low flow rates might not be registered accurately.
- Уцечка вады:
- Пераканайцеся, што ўсе злучэнні надзейна зацягнуты.
- Check the rubber gaskets (washers) at the connections for proper seating or damage. Replace if worn.
- Apply Teflon tape to threaded connections if leaks persist.
- Display Not Rotating:
- Ensure you are pressing the "Direction" button firmly.
