The  ESP-TM  controller  is  factory-supplied  with  a  3-Volt 

lithium  coin  cell  backup  battery,  which  is  wrapped  in  a 

protective  insulator  strip  in  the  battery  drawer.  This  battery 

is  designed  to  maintain  program  information  for  several 

days  without  power.

If  electrical  power  to  the  ESP-TM  remains  uninterrupted, 

the  lithium  coin  cell  will  last  well  over  one  year.  However, 

long  or  frequent  power  interruptions  will  use  up  the  battery 

much  faster.

To  activate  this  battery,  remove  the  lower  face  panel  on  the

controller  and  remove  the  plastic  insulator  strip  from  the  battery.

Make  sure  battery  drawer  is  completely  closed,  then  reinstall

the  lower  face  panel.  See  page  25  for  complete  instructions.

  plug  the  external  transformer  into

If  your  transformer  has  just  two  wires  go  to  step  2.

If  not,  connect  the  green  ground  wire  (which  is  the

longest  wire)  to  the  ground  screw  located  just  below

and  to  the  right  of  the  lower  wall  mounting  screw.

If  your  transformer  has  just  two  wires

then  a  ground  wire  is  not  necessary.

See  Note

Connect  one  pre-stripped  transformer  wire  to  each

of  the  flip  strip  terminals  labeled  24VAC.  Connect

either  wire  to  either  terminal;  polarity  of  these  wires

is  not  important.

into  an  electrical  outlet  until  all  other  connections  have

been  made.  In  addition,  connect  the  wires  from  the

transformer  to  the  ESP-TM  flip  strip  BEFORE  plugging

in  the  transformer.
