Beregeningsbesturing Gardena Classic 6030

The GARDENA Classic Irrigation Control System 6030 enables automatic control of up to six irrigation zones and is intended for larger pop-up sprinkler installations such as the GARDENA Sprinkler System. It is suitable when available water is insufficient to operate all zones at once or when different planting areas require different watering routines. Each channel can be scheduled independently to provide tailored irrigation. The unit supports connection of up to six 24 V irrigation valves (Art. No. 1278-20), features manual start for immediate watering, and is suitable for indoor and rain-protected mounting, for example in a garage.

Advantages

Automatic and time-saving irrigation ensures reliable watering even when nobody is present, allowing efficient management of multiple irrigation circuits. The large, clear display simplifies programming by guiding users step by step. Each valve supports up to three independent watering programs, with selectable watering days and cycles and flexible run times from 1 minute to 3 hours 59 minutes. When used with a GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor, the system can suspend automatic irrigation depending on soil moisture, saving water.

Key specifications

• Number of controllable zones: up to 6
• Valve compatibility: 24 V irrigation valves (Art. No. 1278-20)
• Programs per valve: 3 independent programmes
• Watering duration range: 1 minute to 3 hours 59 minutes
• Manual start: yes
• Soil moisture sensor compatibility: yes (interrupts automatic irrigation based on soil moisture)
• Intended installation: indoor and rain-protected areas

How to use

Install the controller in a protected indoor location and connect up to six 24 V irrigation valves according to the wiring instructions. Use the large display and guided menu to assign valves, select watering days and cycles, choose one of three programmes per valve, and set required watering durations between one minute and 3 hours 59 minutes. For immediate operation, activate the manual start function. If water-saving control is desired, connect a GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor to suspend automatic cycles when the measured soil moisture indicates watering is not required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, plan irrigation zones so that each valve serves areas with similar water requirements, use the soil moisture sensor to avoid unnecessary watering, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for valve wiring and indoor mounting.
