About the LIFE Plus
Controller Memory
When not powered due to power outages or when the Control Module has been
removed from its Back Module, the LIFE Plus Controller:
• permanently retains the programmed watering schedule;
• keeps the clock active for the Back up time (up to 24 hours).
Back up time
How long the time keeping lasts depends on:
• how long the back-up power has being fully charged by the 24V a.c. power.
30 min charge is enough for 1 hour back up time, while 3 days guarantees the
maximum back up time.
• The programming activities on the Control Module while not powered by the 24V
a.c.
Back-up power is fully discharged
When LIFE Plus Controller is powered again after the back-up power was fully
discharged, the controller will resume normal operation starting at the time the
power became fully discharged. Current date and time must be set.
This permanent memory feature enables your landscape to continue being watered
with your programmed watering schedule if a prolonged power outage occurs while
you are away. Just set the current time and date and the LIFE Plus Controller is ready
to control your irrigation system automatically.
Note: after a long period without being powered or the first time the Life Plus
Controller is Powered with its Control Module installed, for best use allow 5 to 10
minutes for back-up power to charge itself before removing the Control Panel from
its Back Module.
