Hey guys,

It's my understanding that the two advantages of the new solenoid are: greater tolerance on IP deviations, and lower power consumption. How does this translate, i.e.

1) How long is the battery expected to last? The manual (I think) says 17 hours or so (I get about 15). What should it be now?

2) How large is the IP tolerance? Is the IP still set to (if I recall) 7.5 bar? +/- how much would still be OK?

3) Is there any other advantage? Do we have any numbers on MTBF's both with this one and the old one?

Thanks,

Andrew
