NOTE:
The WPX can be mounted on a DC latching
solenoid using the included solenoid bracket,
or on a wall using the optional wall-mount bracket
(Model: 9VMOUNT).
Batteries
The Rain Bird WPX uses two alkaline 9-Volt batteries to operate. Your
controller will function using either one or two 9-Volt batteries. Under
normal conditions, the expected life is 1 year for a single battery and
two years when using two 9-Volt batteries.
Replacing Batteries
1.
Remove the battery compartment cap.
2.
Install one or two 9-Volt alkaline batteries on the battery clips pro-
vided.
3.
Re-install the battery compartment cap.

prematurely.
