Labelling Irrigation Valves and Radio Switch

6.Labelling Irrigation Valves and Radio Switch

v Label the Irrigation Valves and Radio Switches using the stick- ers provided with the irrigation valves. Match them to the corre-

sponding channels on the control plan.

This ensures that the channels are assigned to the radio receivers and radio switches in a clear, unambiguous way. This is particularly important when you begin to use your irrigation installation again in the spring.

(For example: Sprinkler-System = channel 1, 2 and 3, Lightline = channel 5)

7. Operating the Control System

If you replace the batteries when the Control Unit is not connect- ed to the mains you will reset the unit. TIME and 0 for the hours flash on the display and you must enter the time and day (refer to section 7.2 Setting the Current Time and Day of the Week).

Before installing the batteries in the Radio Receiver and/or plugging the Radio Switch into the mains, you must activate the registering mode of the Central Radio Control Unit. The receivers are then registered automatically (refer to section 7.3 Registering Receivers).

You must also insert four 1.5-volt AA batteries in the Radio Receiver Art. 1244/1245 (see operating instructions for Radio Receiver). The Radio Switch Art. 1246 does not require batteries because it is connected directly to a mains socket.

(b)fasten the support to the wall.

Insert the batteries in the Central Radio Control Unit:

The Central Radio Control Unit is designed to be mains-operated.

The batteries prevent loss of data if a power failure occurs. The batteries have a limited working life if the Central Radio Con- trol Unit is disconnected from the mains power or if a power out- age occurs. In order to operate your Central Radio Control Unit without power from the mains, you must install four 1.5-volt alkaline

	(AA) batteries (do not use rechargeable batteries). These batteries
	are no longer used as soon as you connect your Control Unit to the
C	mains.
	1.	Slide out the cover B on the back of the Central Radio Control
		Unit and remove the battery pack C.
	2.	If necessary, remove flat batteries from the battery pack C
		and insert new batteries D in the correct position (pay attention
		to the +/ – markings on the battery pack and the batteries).
	3.	Fit the battery pack C the right way round in the Central Radio
		Control Unit (pay attention to the +/ – markings on the Central
		Radio Control Unit and the battery pack E).
	4.	Slide the cover B back into place and close the battery com-
		partment.
