We recommend to connect the phase to earth to the
controller.
Optionally, a solar panel with its regulator can be insta-
lled to keep the battery charged with endless autonomy.
The solar panel charge requirements or the autonomy of
battery will be more defined by the power consumption
of solenoids and working hours per day of these solenoids
than the power consumption of controller itself.
The main characteristic of this latch solenoid is that it
consumes only during opening and closing operations.
Therefore, it does not consume power while the valves
are actuated (for practical purposes, there is no differen-
ce between operating for 1 hour or 20 hours).
The SLEEP function is a distinguishing feature of this
model. The controller becomes disconnected in order to
save energy. It is automatically activated for miliseconds
every minute to check if it has to do any operation.
As the 12 Vdc model, it does not have light screen and
turns into SLEEP mode for energy-saving reasons.
The 9 Vdc controller has quick connectors for the power
supply batteries and also for the 9 Vdc outputs.
Number of batteries is doubled to guarantee 3 months of
autonomy in normal working conditions.
This model is produced with standard 9 Vdc battery quick
connectors, but can also work with 12 Vdc batteries in
order to extend its autonomy.
The battery recommended by JIMTEN for this function
has a 550mAh charge.
The autonomy of a battery greatly depends on temperatu-
re and humidity conditions.
In case of automotive batteries, we recommend maintai-
ning the acid level.
During inactive periods, we recommend taking out the
battery and keeping it under ideal conditions
If the battery is recharged by solar panels, they must
be suitably maintained, by keeping them clean and well
oriented to assure that the battery is fully charged.
NOTE
12 Vdc controllers, for obvious energy-saving re-
asons, do not have light screen.
NOTE
We recommend using longlife well known brand
Ni-Cad batteries.
NOTE
Never program pauses lower than 4 seconds bet-
ween latch solenoid activation times since the
electronic condenser requires that minimum
time to accumulate the necessary power for acti-
vation/deactivation.
9 Vdc power supply (batteries)
There is a model of Filtmaster filter cleaning controller
that works with 9 Vdc batteries.
Unlike the previous controller models, it can only work
with two-wire latch solenoids (with invertible polarity).
