MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
1.
Winterize System
For winter months, this mode allows you to preserve
your programmed schedules while the timer is not in
operation: turn the dial to Off. Before shutting it down
for the winter, be sure to drain all water from pipes to
prevent freezing and damage to system. When
restarting timer for the year, turn dial bock to Auto.
WARNING:
In areas prone to lightning storms, it is rec-
ommended to disconnect wires from the timer's termi-
nal screw strip and to unplug the transformer from the
outlet to protect the timer from lightning caused power
surges.
2.
Battery Back-UP
We recommend that you replace your battery every
year at the same time you change your fire alarm bat-
tery. If frequent power outages occur, you may need
to replace the battery more frequently.
