No Power? No Problem Battery Zone Easily Upgrades A Solenoid Valve to Automatic ControlIrrigation Problem SolversRain Bird® adapterIrritrol® and Toro® and others adapterInstalling new irrigation or adding a valve in a place where power isn’t easily accessed? Battery Zone is the easy solution that provides economical battery-powered control of standard irriga-tion solenoid valves. No need to run new power wires through the landscape. The Battery-Zone is also ideal for retrofitting manual systems to automatic operation, or working around existing bad wiring.The Battery Zone installs quickly: just thread off the existing solenoid, and then thread on the solenoid from the Battery Zone. Adapters are provided to fit popular brands. The Battery Zone uses two standard 9-volt alkaline batteries to power the controller’s display and to actuate automatic and manual cycles. In a typical application, the battery will last for at least one full irrigation season. Use of off-the-shelf 9-volt lithium batteries is optional and would extend the normal battery life to multiple seasons. • Fully submersible and waterproof, ideal for installation in humid valve boxes. Meets IP68.• A protective rubber cap prevents debris from accumulating on the face and buttons.• Includes 9 volt latching solenoid compatible with popular brands of valves including Irritrol®, Lawn Genie®, Hardie® Toro®, K-Rain®, Nelson®, Orbit®, and Rain Bird®. For use with other brands of valves, you’ll need to purchase a 9-volt DC latching solenoid from that brand which can then be connected to the Battery Zone controller. Note: The Battery Zone only operates 9 volt dc latching solenoids, do not attempt to connect to standard 24 volt ac solenoids.• Simple programming: choose days of the week, enter start time and zone run time. Up to 2 starts per day.• Drip irrigation compatible: run time from 1 to 360 minutes.• Easy manual operation.• Rain off /system off mode.• Wire leads can be extended for installation up to 100' from valve.• Low battery alert.
