Frequently asked questions

How is Tempus™ diferent from other competitive products?

Aside from the intelligent key features of Tempus™ DC, it is available in 2 versions – the NO LCD and WITH LCD versions so customers still have the flexibility of programming it using the app or manually. Also, our screen is the biggest in the LCD version which provides better visual for those who prefer seeing the program on display.

When do I program the controller, before or after installation?

Either will work because the controller has permanent memory retention so it won’t lose the program even if it’s turned off or when you take out the battery.

Will the controller stop working if it is subjected to extreme temperatures?

Tempus DC can operate between -10ºC to 50ºC and is 100% waterproof.

How many controllers can be linked to one phone?

No limitation.

When connecting a pump to the controller, does this require a AC or DC latching pump start relay?

Yes, a DC latching relay. In order to command a pump with the Master Valve output, you need to use a module to convert the 9V pulse into a ON/OFF relay command (ex. DC latching relay).

Is the Tempus DC compatible with a solar or a battery-recharging of this type?

No, being a DC operated battery controller, Tempus DC does not have this option.
