Automatic Voltage Detection
The DDCWP has an automatic voltage detection circuit. Before an
irrigation start is initiated, this circuit checks battery voltage to insure that
there is sufficient voltage remaining to shut the solenoids off. If there is not
sufficient voltage, the program is cancelled and the low battery icon is
turned on in the LCD display.
About the DDCWP memory
This controller is equipped with "on board" back up battery that will keep
the program memory for a few months in case power is not available. The 9
volt battery will turn on both displays and programming is possible. Do not
remove batteries for winter months as program loss can occur.
Maximum Wire Runs for DDCWP Controller
With battery voltage at 9V DC and 7 Bars (105 PSI) of pressure at the
valve, these are the maximum wire runs for an 8 station DDCWP.

Programming Lock Out Feature
The DDCWP can be locked so that unauthorized programming can not
occur. In the AUTO RUN position, press both +/ON and -/OFF buttons and
hold for 5 seconds. The DDCWP will be "locked" in the AUTO RUN posi-
tion. Repeat this sequence to "unlock" the DIAL button.
