ESP-BAT-BT – Quick Start Guide

Install and setup BAT-BT battery powered Bluetooth Irrigation controllers.

Connect to Valves

Connect the station wires to DC latching solenoids (e.g. TBOSPSOL) as shown. Doing this first will give you the opportunity to hear the solenoid “chatter” after the batteries are installed. This way you can confirm the batteries are in good health, and installed correctly.

Insert Batteries

The BAT-BT is powered by 4 x LR6 (“AA”) Non-rechargeable, alkaline batteries. To insert the batteries:

1. Remove the battery cap (a)
2. Remove the battery holder (b)
3. Place the batteries in the holder being careful to install them with the correct polarity (+ / -)
4. Re-insert the battery holder into the device spring side first
5. Replace the battery cap

Mount in Valve Box

The BAT-BT should be installed in a valve box using one of these 3 methods:
A. Mounting Peg: The BAT can be hung using the mounting hole.
B. Cable Tie: Use the provided cable tie to strap the BAT mounting hole to the valve box locking ring or a drilled hole.
C. Screw Mount: The BAT can also be hung from a screw using the mounting hole.

Connection Strength

Install the BAT-BT as close to surface level as possible to optimize Bluetooth® signal strength and range.
