Horstmann Channel Plus H27ZXL User Instruction

FULLY PUMPED OR GRAVITY SYSTEM

The installer will have set the programmer to suit the installed system. If this is a Fully pumped
system this will allow independent control of Zone 1 and Zone 2, however on a Gravity system Zone 1
and zone 2 are linked so that it is not possible to use Zone 2 independently. This will allow only one
common time setting for both Zone 1 and Zone 2.
The programmer is fitted with a non-rechargeable, long life battery, which will maintain the
programmed time settings for a minimum of ten months with the supply disconnected.
THIS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO COVER POWER INTERRUPTIONS DURING THE LIFE OF THE UNIT.
During power interruptions the display will be blank, after 3 days the current time of day will be lost.
If the programmer is not to be used for a long period of time, the switch on the rear of the unit
should be returned to the BATTERY OFF position. These are both to prolong the battery life.
