Follow these steps to set up your drip irrigation system:

1. Cajin Controller: 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. Haɗa Mashigar Ruwa: Attach the water inlet filter to the controller's inlet port. Place the filtered end into your water reservoir.
4. Install Anti-Siphon Valve: 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. Sanya Emitters: 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. Tsarin Gwaji: Once assembled, perform a manual watering cycle to check for proper water flow and any leaks. Adjust emitters as necessary for even distribution.
