BACKUP BATTERY
Your timer requires a CR2032 Lithium battery to maintain your
program in case of an AC power loss.
Tip:
The Battery should be replaced every year, to avoid loss of
programming.
BATTERY WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep
batteries away from children.
This product contains a lithium coin cell battery. If a new
or used button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the
body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to
death in as little as two hours. Always completely secure
the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does
not close securely, stop using the product, remove the
battery, and keep it away from children. If you think the
battery might have been swallowed or placed inside any
part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. The
battery should be disposed of properly and kept away from
children. Even used batteries may cause injury.
Note:
A battery alone will not operate the valves in your sprinkling
system. The sprinkler timer transformer must be connected to an
AC line voltage source.

to a “Pump Start” relay, replacing the “Backup Battery” or for
