trouble-free operation, it should not be exposed to mechanical vibrations, dusty conditions, corrosive
sprays or condensing humidity.
• Controller relays are plug-in type; SPDT dry contacts (unpowered) with LED indication when N/O
contacts are energized. Contacts are 10 AMP @ 120VAC/240VAC/28VDC and 1/3 HP @ 120VAC.
• To install unit, open front cover, remove (2) screws on right side of inside front panel and swing panel to
left. Locate upper screw keyhole and two lower screw holes.
• For convenience, mount unit so LCD display is at eye level and fasten with #10 sheet metal screws or
other suitable fastening devices.
• Connect 120VAC(*) power (dedicated), SEE DIAGRAM INSIDE FRONT DOOR. POWER FEED IS
BROUGHT TO RIGHT HAND CORNER TERMINAL BLOCK.
• CONNECT LOAD WIRES to lower terminal board. LED will light indicating “ON” between C and N/O, if
programmed to be ONor by manual override. See Figure 2 as typical.
• If remote override is to be used, connect remote override (2 wires per channel for appropriate loads) to
terminal block in top left side inside panel. Use a momentary push-button (bell-type button) — one wire to
load, one to common.
DO NOT CONNECT ANY POWER TO THESE TERMINALS.
• When unit is first powered battery is not connected. The unit will prompt you to
PRESS BATTERY
SWITCH — THEN PRESS ENTER.
• Locate the slide switch next to battery on circuit board (see drawing located inside front door) and slide it

2. If remote overrides are used, make sure these unpowered wires are not run in the same conduit as
the load wires or supply voltage for the controller.
3. Controller must have its own dedicated 120VAC(*) power source; i.e., NO OUTLETS OR OTHER
LOADS ATTACHED TO THE SAME SUPPLY SOURCE COMING FROM YOUR BREAKER PANEL.
