Power
|
Three standard AA alkaline batteries
Rechargeable AA-size 1.2-volt NiMH batteries may be used but will provide approximately half the run time stated for disposable batteries. |
|
LED Functions
|
Slow flash = normal run
Fast flash = flow fault
Double flash = low battery, approximately one-hour run time remaining
Flash every eight seconds = pump shutdown due to exhausted batteries
Indication of pump shutdown due to exhausted batteries will override all other indicators.
Four flashes every six seconds = pump shutdown due to flow fault
