Battery Installation & Armchair Programming
Installing a 9V battery (user-provided) serves two important
functions: first, it enables the Rain Dial-R to be fully programmed
prior to installation, and second, it keeps the control module
synchronized with current time and date during a main power
interruption lasting more than 24 hours .
Note: The battery is not capable of operating the sprinkler valves.
Main AC power must be applied to the controller to enable operation.
The control module is designed to be easily removed for complete
programming in a more convenient setting, such as your favorite
armchair . To remove the control module, simply unplug the ribbon
cable connector from the printed circuit board, then carefully remove
the module from it's snap-in hinges . The Rain Dial-R features non-
volatile memory, which keeps the programming information intact,
even if the battery dies or is disconnected .
