Installing the Battery
The Field Transmitter is powered by a 9-volt
alkaline battery (not included), type 6AM6
(international standard) or type 6LR61
(European standard). We recommend that you
use a high-quality alkaline battery, such as
Energizer. A high-quality battery will last one
year.
To install the battery:
1. Remove the screws that secure the battery com-
partment cover.
2. Remove the battery connector from the battery
compartment and attach the battery to the con-
nector.
3. Insert the battery and connector into the battery
compartment.
When the battery is properly
connected, the start-up display
appears as shown.
4. Reinstall the screws that secure
the battery compartment cover.
The Field Transmitter can now be programmed.
