പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The Melnor 101 Flowmeter Water Timer operates mechanically, requiring sufficient water flow to function correctly. It measures water in hundreds of gallons.

1. വെള്ളം ഓണാക്കുക: Fully open your water spigot.
2. Set Desired Volume: Rotate the dial on the timer to the desired volume in gallons. The timer typically allows settings for hundreds of gallons (e.g., 200, 300, 400 gallons).
3. ജലപ്രവാഹം: Water will begin to flow through the timer. The internal mechanism will count down the set volume.
4. യാന്ത്രിക ഷട്ട്-ഓഫ്: Once the set volume of water has passed through the timer, the device will automatically shut off the water flow.
5. പുനഃസജ്ജമാക്കൽ: To use the timer again, simply reset the dial to your desired volume.

കുറിപ്പ്: The timer requires a minimum flow rate to operate accurately. If the water flow is too low, the counting mechanism may not engage or may be inaccurate.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

• Timer not counting down or shutting off:
  • Ensure the water spigot is fully open.
  • Verify that there is sufficient water flow and pressure. The mechanical mechanism requires a certain flow rate to operate.
  • Check for blockages in the hose or timer.
• Leaks at connections:
  • Tighten all connections securely by hand.
  • Inspect rubber washers for proper seating or damage. Replace if worn.
  • നൂലുകൾ വൃത്തിയുള്ളതും അവശിഷ്ടങ്ങൾ ഇല്ലാത്തതുമാണെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
• Inaccurate water measurement:
  • Ensure a consistent and adequate water flow rate. Fluctuations in pressure can affect accuracy.
  • Check for any internal blockages that might impede the flow sensor.
