Before You Start

1. Install the power supply

The ITP106 supports two power methods.

Battery Power

  • Make sure the battery cover is securely closed.
  • Remove batteries when the product is not used for a long period.
USB Power

Connect the included USB cable to a: DC 5V / 1A USB power source

USB power is recommended when available because it provides stable operation.

2. Position the pump correctly

The pump should be placed in a suitable position relative to the water container and plants.

Recommended:

  • Keep the pump close to the watering area.
  • Avoid excessive vertical distance.

The recommended height difference between pump and plants should not exceed: 8.2 ft (2.5 m)

3. Connect the irrigation tubing correctly

Basic connection:

Water Container
→ Filter
→ Pump Inlet
→ Pump Outlet
→ Anti-siphon Device
→ Tubing
→ Switch Valve
→ Micro Dripper
→ Plant Root Zone

4. Prepare the tubing before installation

If tubing is difficult to insert:

  • Place the tubing end into hot water for about 10 seconds.
  • Or apply a small amount of vegetable oil.

This helps improve connection.

5. Test the system before creating schedules

Before setting automatic watering:

  1. Press and hold the OK button to enter manual watering mode.
  2. Confirm water reaches the plants.
  3. Check all tubing connections for leaks.
  4. Adjust the watering schedule after confirming normal operation.
