8. Changing the Battery
A
To ensure the Water Timer runs safely, only a 9 V alkali­manganese battery (alkaline) type IEC 6LR61 must be used.
.Make sure you exchange the battery at the right time to prevent
the Water Timer failing due to a low battery when you are away for longer periods of time. Make sure that the time the battery has been
in operation and the time you are planning to be away does not add up to more than a year.
.The functional safety of the Water Timer depends on the capability of
the battery. The Water Timer Electronic does not have a battery status display (acoustic or visual). The Water Timer Electronic will only run
for approx. a year if the alkali-manganese battery has a nominal voltage of at least 9 V. Check the battery before you buy it.
Programs do not run while the battery is being changed. For notes on changing the battery see “Inserting the Battery”.
9. Notes on Safety and Operation
.To prevent water penetrating the battery compartment the Water
Timer must only be mounted in a perpendicular position with the sleeve nut pointing upwards.
.The Water Timer opens as soon as you have selected the watering
program. To avoid getting wet when operating the Water Timer the hose should be connected or the tap turned off before selecting the program. Alternatively, the control unit can be removed for operation.
.The Water Timer must only be used outdoors.
Warning! The Water Timer must not be used indoors.
.The Water Timer must be stored in a dry place away from frost
before the frosty season begins.
.The max. temperature for the water flow is 40 °C. .The minimum operating pressure is 1 bar, the maximum operating
pressure is 12 bar.
.Check the filter in the sleeve nut
7
regularly and clean if neces-
sary.
.Avoid tensile strain. Do not pull the hose connected to the Water
Timer Electronic.
.Only use clear fresh water.
10. Anti-Theft Protection (Fig. D)
