Setting Up Your Equipment for Operation
It is easy to put the system together and connect it up safely by follow-
ing these step by step instructions.
3.1
Install the Bat Box
Put up the bat box in the selected location. Whilst most users
will be erecting it outside, the box will operate just as effectively
inside. Bat boxes are normally sited high up on trees or on the
walls of buildings, so
please take particular care of your per-
sonal safety when working at height
up a ladder or platform,
as the bat box is heavy.
There are mounting holes in the corners of the box, and these
are designed for screws or nails, but you could drill additional
holes in the flanges above and below the box if required.
Run the cable (one end of which is attached to the Bat Box)
down the wall etc and into the building to the point where the
Temperature Controller is to be situated. If you need to run it
through the wall of a building, we suggest drilling a 20-22 mm
diameter hole.
The flexible conical grom-
met (which is already fitted
to the cable), is designed to
be fitted (from the outside)
to the hole through the wall
to ensure the cable is a
snug fit and stop draughts
rain etc. Slide it along the
cable to fit. If you don’t need to use the grommet, it can be cut
off and discarded (but please be careful not to damage the cable
itself).
