Battery Life

The 8014 is designed to operate on the factory installed

valve. Actual battery life will depend on the number of cycles

run per year, valve size, operating pressure, and temperature.

The battery is replaceable and is available as a service part.

Installation

Replace the AC solenoid and bleed collar (if one exists)

with the 8014 DuraLife battery operated controller. Do not

over tighten.

The 8014 DuraLife fits Nelson valve models 7900 1” series,

9000 1” series, 7951, 7952, 7953, and the 9500 1 1/2” and

2” series.

Connecting a Rain/Freeze/Wind Sensor (8014SR only)

The 8014SR is equipped to operate with any sensor with

normally-closed leads such as the Nelson 8501 Rain-Trip. To

install a sensor, connect the sensor wires to the two 8014SR

wire leads using the supplied waterproof connectors. Do not

strip the wires when using these connectors.

Note: If no sensor will be used the sensor leads of the

8014SR must be connected to each other for

automatic operation.

Protective Cover
