I have a brand new 1892 Gadena Master and an 1197 Automatic Water Distributor.
When I go through the visual setup instructions, I get to Exhibit O, Step 3. The "Start Hour" is 00 and highlighted. I spin the dial (in either direction) and the start hour never changes. (In Exhibit O, Step 3, it shows the start hour at "05" so, presumably one is meant to be able to start the watering at any time of day).
If I push the button, the "Start Minutes" are 00 and highlighted and I can change them perfectly fine as well as complete the setup instructions. But, for now all of my 6 zones are starting between midnight and 1AM.
And, yes, I can "fool" the timer by changing the time of day to make my start hour be 7AM (or whatever), but with 6 zones and the built in 5 minute forced break between zones that means all of my watering needs to be done in that hour whether it's midnight or 7AM and that's not acceptable.
Probably user error on my part...but I can't figure it out. Gardena customer service has no idea either. I think with a little push they'll replace the unit, but figured I'd try and suss out what's happening with the experts first.
Thanks in advance.
