two hour watering pause is triggered after every watering
cycle in order for the soil moisture sensor to record the soil
moisture.
Example:
Watering cycle = Prog

(Watering throughout the day)
Watering duration = 40 minutes.
Watering begins when the sensor registers dry (Sensor ON)
during the day (between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.) and ends up to
40 minutes later depending on the amount of moisture in the soil.
The watering duration is preset to 30 minutes at the factory.
Emergency program:
If no sensor is inserted in sensor-controlled watering mode or if the
connection cable is faulty, watering will take place every 24 hours.
The watering duration depends on the run time but is limited to a
maximum of 30 minutes.
