Getting To Know The Transmitter
The Sidekick FM transmitter is
designed to allow the user to operate
one valve/station at a time, making it
ideal for the irrigation maintenance
professional to use for one time
maintenance, seasonal start-ups and
blowouts. To operate the transmitter
the user selects the number of the
valve/station using the keypad followed
by pressing the “ON” button of the
transmitter. The transmitter sends a
proprietary PDTFM signal to the
Receiver turning “ON” or “OFF” a
selected valve as well as the Pump
Start/ Master Valve Station of the
receiver automatically.
When not in use the transmitter reverts to a standby mode,
which is designed for minimal power consumption to extend the
life of the battery. Once any key has been pressed, power is
automatically restored for ten seconds to allow commands to be
sent to the receiver. The Transmitter is designed to operate using
a 9 VDC Alkaline battery.
NOTE: Batteries such as general-
purpose 9 VDC batteries will lower the performance of the
transmitter.
Remove the battery door (cover) on the
underside of the transmitter to replace the
battery
Transmitter requires one
9V alkaline battery.
