Automatic speakers with electronic ignition are convenient and practical to use. You do not depend on the availability of electricity, for this the manufacturer installed batteries. They provide the necessary charge to ignite the burner. If you are tired of constantly monitoring the charge and changing elements, we offer a good alternative - a power supply for the gas column.
How to replace batteries with a power supply
The installation of gas equipment makes life easier, especially if you do not need to manually start it every time. To do this, manufacturers have developed battery ignition. All that a user needs is to open a hot tap and enjoy the benefits of civilization.
To understand how to install the unit instead of batteries, you need to understand how the ignition occurs. When you open the mixer in the line, the pressure rises, which affects the rubber membrane. It bends and pushes the stem, which opens the gas valve. So the fuel enters the burner.
At this time, the charging elements are triggered, sending current to the control module. The latter gives the spark plug command. So a spark is generated, the burner is ignited. To use the equipment without batteries, you need to connect the contacts of the power supply device to the wiring and power the element from the network.
In this case, the operation of the device will already depend on the availability of electricity. But if you work carefully, you can provide the ability to alternately connect the batteries.
Some users use speakers batteries. All that is needed to maintain operation is periodic charging. Then they can be used again.
How to connect with your own hands
If you want to buy a ready-made battery, in online stores you will find a wide range. There are products from different manufacturers, including Chinese. The latter are cheaper in cost, but not so effective in work.
Immediately you need to determine the capacity of the unit. It should not be more than the voltage of the batteries, otherwise the equipment will not stand. The column uses two batteries, each of which has a capacity of 1.5 volts. Count on 3 Volts.
The characteristics of the network installation are as follows: connection to 220 V, 3 V at the output and a power of 550 MPa.
If you want to make sure that the parameters match, use a multimeter. It is necessary to measure the current in the piezo ignition circuit, so attach the probes to the contacts. After, measure the voltage of the unit, which should coincide with the previous value.
You are a jack of all trades, do you want to make an element with your own hands? Then you will need:
- two terminals "father-mother";
- soldering iron;
- insulating tape;
- at voltages above 3 volts a stabilizer is required;
- wire when lengthening.
How to make a home-made refinement on the Neva model? Here is an example:
- Remove the battery compartment. To do this, press it with your hand until it clicks. He should move out of the case.
- Turning off the wiring, remember where the plus and minus are, or mark with a marker.
- Cut off the plug from the unit wires.
- Using a soldering iron, connect the male connector to the wires.
- Disconnected wires in the column have “mother” terminals. Therefore, connect them with the "dad."
- All terminals are wrapped with electrical tape or heat shrink.
It remains to connect the product to the network and open hot water. Is there an ignition? So, everything is fine, the work was successful. If you wish, you can redo and use the batteries again by connecting the wiring to their compartment.
Do not forget to install a stabilizer between the column and the unit if the voltage is more than 3 Volts.
We hope that our recommendations will be useful to home masters to improve the operation of the water heater. In the video you will see with your own eyes the sequence of works:
