About the TEMPUS Controller Memory

When not powered due to power outages or when the programming module has been
removed from its back module, the TEMPUS controller:
• permanently retains the programmed watering schedule;
• keeps the clock active for 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 24 VAC 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 programming module while not powered by the
24 VAC.
Back-up power is fully discharged
When the TEMPUS 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 TEMPUS controller is ready
to control your sprinkler system automatically.
