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 cells, we offer a good alternative – a power supply for a geyser.
How to replace batteries in a power supply
Installing gas equipment makes life easier, especially if you do not need to manually start it every time. For this, manufacturers have developed a battery-powered ignition. All the user needs is to open a hot tap and enjoy the benefits of civilization.
To understand how to install a block instead of batteries, you need to figure out how ignition occurs. When the mixer is opened, the pressure in the line increases, which affects the rubber membrane. It bends and pushes out the stem, which opens the gas valve. This is how fuel enters the burner.
At this time, the charging cells are activated, sending current to the control module. The latter gives the command to the spark plug. This creates a spark and ignites the burner. To use the technique without batteries, you need to connect the contacts of the power device to the wiring and power the element from the mains.
In this case, the operation of the device will already depend on the availability of electricity. But if you carry out the work carefully, you can provide the possibility of alternately connecting the batteries.
Some users use batteries for the speaker. All it takes to keep it running 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, you will find a wide range in online stores. There are products from different manufacturers, including Chinese ones. The latter are cheaper in cost, but not as efficient in operation.
Immediately you need to decide on the capacity of the block. It should not be more than the voltage of the batteries, otherwise the equipment will not withstand. The column uses two batteries, each of which has a capacity of 1,5 volts. Together count on 3 Volts.
The characteristics of the network installation are as follows: connection to 220 V, 3 V output and power 550 MPa.
If you want to make sure that the parameters match, use a multimeter. You need to measure the current in the piezo ignition circuit, so attach the probes to the contacts. Then measure the voltage of the block, which should match the previous value.
Are you a jack of all trades, 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;
- extension wire.
How to make a homemade revision on the Neva model? Here’s an example:
- Remove the battery compartment. To do this, press it with your hand until it clicks. It should pop out of the body.
- When disconnecting the wiring, remember where the plus and minus are, or mark with a marker.
- Cut off the plug from the wires of the unit.
- Using a soldering iron, connect the male connector to the wires.
- Disconnected wires in the column have “mother” terminals. Therefore, connect them with “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 desired, you can remake and use the batteries again by connecting the wiring to their compartment.
Do not forget to install a stabilizer between the speaker and the unit if the voltage is more than 3 Volts.
We hope that our recommendations will be useful to home craftsmen to improve the operation of the water heater. In the video you will see with your own eyes the sequence of work:
