Yearly Programmer for Heated Bat Box - ABS/Plastic - L15.6 x W9.5 x H5.5 cm
This small accessory is designed to convert our Heated Bat Boxes into programmable heated bat boxes. It is easily installed in a few minutes and then the dates for switching the heater on or off can be set. Once set, the heater will come on and off on the same set dates every year.
Installation of the plug and play Yearly Programmer is easy, doesn't require any tools or particular expertise, and only takes a few moments. It is first connected to the Heated Bat Box (it goes inside the building next to the temperature controller in the cable going to the bat box, and simply uses the existing connectors). The current time and date then needs to be set, and the dates set for switching on and off.
The device will then switch the bat box heater on and off on the same dates every year.
The Yearly Programmer draws power for switching from the temperature controller, and it retains the time and date settings using a small internal battery. This means it does not require a separate power supply and it avoids needing additional cables. It does not need an electrician to install it. The bat box's temperature controller continues to regulate the temperature inside the bat box, and the protection against electric shock provided by the RCD plug (which is part of the Heated Bat Box) also covers the Yearly Programmer.
