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 ELC74 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.
