Connecting the Battery

The SVC uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to operate the valve and program the controller. The life of the battery is determined by the number of valve actuations, however, under normal conditions the battery should provide at least one full year of service.

NOTE: The SVC has non-volatile memory which allows for the battery to be removed without losing any program information.

To install the battery:

  1. Unscrew the rear half of the SVC body to gain access to the battery compartment.
  2. Snap the battery into the battery holder.

NOTE: The battery holder is designed so that the battery can only be inserted one way.

  1. Make sure no water is inside the battery compartment. Screw the SVC body halves together to seal the compartment.
