7. Open the sensor array field case with a flat-bladed screwdriver and apply one of the
power options indicated below.
If you have a solar-powered system, connect the gel cell battery.
If you have a non-solar-powered system, decide whether you want to install
the power adapter OR the lithium battery (the two will NOT work in tan-
dem or as backup). Davis recommends the battery to ensure power during
storms. If used as the primary power source, one
fresh lithium battery
should provide about six months of service. Use two fresh lithium batteries
to double life (second is not provided).
Note: Be sure dip switch #4 is set to “Run” (rather than “Test”) so that the LED indicator will not
flash unnecessarily when not testing see “Testing Proposed Locations” on page 8 for instructions
on setting dip switches).
Once power is applied, the console should start reading the values of the
sensors installed in the sensor array.
