READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL TIME SWITCH. SEE WARNING ON FRONT PANEL – Failure to comply with

instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage.

INSTALLATION:

UNIT IS TO BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN

1. To access mounting holes and terminal blocks, open enclosure door (hinge on left) and internal circuit board mounting plate (hinge on right.)

2. Mount the enclosure at eye level using screws or other suitable fastening device. Bring supply and load wires in through bottom or side knockouts. USE TOP KNOCKOUTS FOR LOW VOLTAGE WIRING ONLY.

3. Reinstall unit by reversing step #1 above and connecting wires to units as per suggested wiring diagrams at back of manual.

4. Remove battery insulator. Unit should be programmed with AC power. Do not program under super cap back up power.

Programming Overview:

The order of the program headers and steps is as follows: TIME - set time, date, daylight savings time dates CONF - 12/24 hour format, stagger up, durations 1-4, duty cycles 1-4 ASTR - sunrise, sunset, latitude, hemisphere EVNT - on, off, durations 1-4, duty cycles 1-4 INPT - conﬁgure inputs EVNT SENS - sensor events HOL - set holidays

In all modes use the NEXT key to advance to the next item to be programmed or reviewed and the PREVIOUS key to go back to the previous item. Use the + and keys to modify the current (ﬂashing) item.

RUN key to end and PROGAM key to start

The OVERRIDE mode is only accessible from the RUN mode.

After pressing the PROGRAM key, the ELC78 and ELC712 will continue to control the outputs based on the events that were operating at the time the PROGRAM key was pressed. The control will not check for new events until it has gone through a status update. The control remains fully functional after pressing the

REVIEW key, provided the REVIEW key was not pressed

while in the programming mode. During operation, the

control will be in the RUN mode.

0.0 INITIAL POWER-UP OR RESET

The control will display MEM CLR (memory clear). This is only accessible once. It indicates that the memory has been cleared.

Use the NEXT key to begin set-up.

0.1 CONTACT OPERATION

Toggle between MAINTAIN (maintained) or MOMENTARY operation using the +/- key.

Note: The ELC 78 & ELC712 will normally be conﬁgured as maintained. The momentary option is intended for use with latching relays.

An EL78 conﬁgured as momentary will only have 4 channels. Relays 1, 3, 5, & 7 will provide a one second ON pulse for channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Relays 2, 4, 6, & 8 will provide a one second OFF pulse for channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

An EL712 conﬁgured as momentary will only have 6 channels. Relays 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 will provide a one second ON pulse for channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Relays 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 will provide a one second OFF pulse for channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.

Use the NEXT key to continue set-up.

0.2 CLOCK FORMAT

Toggle between 12 HR (AM/PM) or 24 HR (00:00 23:59) clock format using the +/- key.

Press the PROGRAM key to begin programming steps in the TIME header.

1.0 TIME MODE

This mode is used for setting time, date and daylight saving time.

Use the NEXT key to begin programming.

1.1 SET CLOCK

Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Use the NEXT key advance to the next ﬂashing item.

Set current hours, minutes, seconds, and day of week.

1.2 SET DATE

Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Use the NEXT key advance to the next ﬂashing item.

Set current month, date, and year.

1.3 SET DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Use the NEXT key advance to the next ﬂashing item

If NO daylight savings adjustment needed, press the PROGRAM key to bypass and go to next mode.

If daylight savings adjustment needed, select YES with + or – keys.

Set SPR (spring) dates by choosing Month (MAR), day (SUN), and week (2). Set FALL dates by choosing Month (NOV), day (SUN), and week (1).

Press the PROGRAM key to go to next mode.

2.0 CONF MODE

Conﬁguration mode is used for changing the clock format, selecting stagger up, setting the lengths of the 4 durations and for programming the on/off times of the 4 duty cycle patterns.

Press the PROGRAM key to bypass and go to next mode. Press the NEXT key to go to the ﬁrst setting.

2.1 SET CLOCK FORMAT

Use the NEXT key skip clock format. Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Set 12 HR (AM/PM) or 24 HR (00:00-23:59) clock

format. Use the NEXT key advance.

2.2 SET STAGGER START-UP

Use the NEXT key skip stagger. Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing NO to the

stagger time. The following stagger-up selections are available: NO = not used

00.05 = 5 seconds

00.15 = 15 seconds

00.30 = 30 seconds

01.00 = 1 minute

05.00 = 5 minutes

10.00 = 10 minutes

15.00 = 15 minutes Note: The selected stagger up time between channels

occurs at scheduled ON events, after a power outage, and after a status update.

Use the NEXT key advance.

2.3 SET DURATION LENGTH (SIGNAL) AND DUTY CYCLE

Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Use the NEXT key advance to the next ﬂashing item.

Program dUR1 (ﬁrst duration 0:00.01) hour, minutes, or seconds and continue to set each of the durations (dUR2 – dUR4.)

Note: These durations are programmable from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.

Program dCF1 (ﬁrst duty cycle OFF time) hours, minutes, or seconds, then program dCN1 (ﬁrst duty cycle ON time) hours, minutes, or seconds to complete the pair. Continue for each of the duty cycles (dCF2 – dCF4).

Note: The off cycle is programmable from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. The control will not allow an off cycle of 0:00.00. A duty cycle event will always start with the off cycle.

Press the PROGRAM key to go to next mode.

3.0 ASTR MODE

The Astro (astronomic) function provides a means for controlling lights based on the changing sunrise and sunset times throughout the year without use of a photo control. The Astro feature does not turn loads on or off. Between sunrise and sunset the load(s) are not allowed to be on. An event must be programmed to allow the load(s) assigned to Astro to turn ON (see section 4.0.)

Press the PROGRAM key to bypass and go to next mode. Press the NEXT key to go to the ﬁrst setting.

3.1 SET ASTRO TIMES

Look up today’s sunrise and sunset times before starting. Also, to determine your location latitude use the map below.

Note: Offset Feature - program today’s sunrise/sunset times with the desired offset ﬁgured in. The control will automatically update the sunrise/sunset times each day. The allowable ranges are 10 - 70 North and 10 70 South.

Use the + and - keys to modify the ﬂashing item. Use the NEXT key advance to the next ﬂashing item.

Program RISE (sunrise) hour and minutes and SET (sunset) hour and minutes.

Program LATT (latitude).

Assign Astro function to each channel using the + and keys to select YES for the ﬂashing channel number.
