Remote" Programming; Installing The Battery - Toro ECx User Manual

"Remote" Programming

The ECx timer features the ability to be fully programmed
before installation. Installing its 9-volt battery brings the
ECx to life, so you can program your new timer while in
the comfort of your home.

Installing The Battery

The ECx can use either type of 9-volt battery: Alkaline or
rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd). The Alkaline bat-
tery provided will keep the timer's clock and programma-
ble memory functioning for about 72 hours and should be
replaced every year. A fully-charged NiCd battery will last
about 24 hours, but is continuously recharged to provide
service for many years.
If your home has frequent power interruptions, installing a
rechargeable NiCd battery is recommended.
Note: The battery does not supply power to operate the
zone control valves; power from the transformer must be
supplied.
1. Slide the lower housing cover toward the bottom of
the timer to remove. Locate the battery clip and attach
it to the battery terminals.
2. Insert the battery into the timer housing as shown in
Figure 1.
3. Slide the battery switch (7) to the left for Alkaline or
right to activate the NiCd battery charging circuit.
See Figure 2.
