INSTALLATION - Sostituzione batteria. To operate, the water timer uses mainly solar energy. To turn on the
backlit display or when there is not enough solar energy (for example, after a few days of rain), the back-up AA
1.5 V (LR6) Alkaline battery will automatically be used to ensure correct operation of the water timer.
The “sun” symbol on the display:
- if this symbol ashes, it indicates there is not enough light (therefore the water timer will be battery operated)
- if this symbol remains active, it indicates that there is sucient light (therefore the water timer will operate on
solar energy).
If the battery used is new and the water timer is installed correctly, he life cycle of the battery will be approximately 4 years (or until the expiry date if this is less than 4 years).
The life cycle of the battery therefore depends on:
- environmental conditions (number of sunny/rainy days);
- where the water timer is installed;
- how often the backlit function is used.
The water timer is protected against reverse polarity of the battery and automatically checks the battery level.
