Follow these steps to set up your drip irrigation system:

1. கட்டுப்படுத்தியை சார்ஜ் செய்யவும்: Before first use, fully charge the controller using the provided USB cable. The charging indicator will show status.
2. Position the Controller: Mount the controller in a location where the solar panel receives direct sunlight for several hours daily. Ensure it is close to your water source (e.g., a water reservoir).
3. நீர் நுழைவாயிலை இணைக்கவும்: Attach the water inlet filter to the controller's inlet port. Place the filtered end into your water reservoir.
4. ஆன்டி-சிஃபோன் வால்வை நிறுவவும்: Connect the anti-siphon valve to the controller's outlet port. This prevents water from flowing back into the reservoir.
5. Lay Out Tubing: Connect the main drip tubing to the anti-siphon valve. Route the tubing to your plants, securing it with stakes as needed.
6. உமிழ்ப்பான்களை நிறுவவும்: Cut the main tubing at desired points and insert T-connectors or directly attach distribution lines. Place drip emitters near the base of each plant. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
7. சோதனை அமைப்பு: Once assembled, perform a manual watering cycle to check for proper water flow and any leaks. Adjust emitters as necessary for even distribution.
