1. Make sure unit is grounded (earth ground).
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 unit.
3. Controller must have its own power source, i.e., no outlets or other loads
attached to the same supply source as the controller. Supply wire (hot) must be
run separately from load wire. Do not jump H terminal to load side. Controller
shall not be placed in any other enclosure other than its’ own or warranty will be
void
. Consult factory for outdoor applications.
4. The controller is to be installed where temperatures do not exceed 120°F or
below 32°F. For trouble free operation it should not be exposed to vibration,
dust, corrosive sprays or condensing atmospheric conditions.
5. Control relays are SPDT dry contacts (unpowered) with LED indication when
relay is energized (when common and normally open close).
6. To install unit open front cover to the left and lift off to remove.
7. Make sure to mount unit so that it is at a convenient eye level for viewing
display and operating key board.
8. Place unit at desired location and mark center of key hole on back of enclosure,
using #10 sheet metal screws or other suitable fastening device.
9. Hang enclosure by key hole, locate lower left and right mounting holes and
fasten using 2 additional screws.
10. A. Use knockouts on bottom of enclosure for conduit connections.
B. Do not run any wires from the back of the board.
11. Connect all your load wires and identify them on the supplied schedule sheet.
12. Connect your dedicated 120 VAC line to the left hand side of your terminal
board marked Hot and Neut.
Note. Be sure unit is grounded.
(Convenient
ground terminal is located at the bottom back of the case.)
Do not jump H to any other terminal.
13. Slide Battery Switch to “ON”.
The controller is now ready for scheduling.
Please refer to the users instruction portion of this manual for scheduling
instructions.
Please see additional instructions provided to change from standard to automatic

KEY FUNCTIONS
BATTERY SWITCH
Slide to “ON” before any scheduling is made.
RUN-SET Slide Switch
Allows the user to choose in the RUN MODE the function
that will be reviewed. In the SET MODE the MODE
SELECT key will allow the user to step through or choose
the functions to be set or changed. i.e. Schedule, Astro, etc.
Appropriate light indicator will allow the user to know what
function is being accessed.
REVIEW
In the RUN MODE, the REVIEW KEY serves to review the
functions available in the unit by stepping through it. In the
SET MODE, the REVIEW KEY serves to display the entries
that may be either left alone or deleted.
DELETE
The SET MODE allows the user to DELETE any entries
while reviewing.
ADVANCE (ADV)
In the SET MODE, the ADV KEY serves as a cursor in
order to move through the information displayed in the front
panel. It is a “STEP” key that allows you to move through
the different data that was entered, such as channels, time
of operation, days of the week, etc.
ENTER
Sets the information being entered into the unit’s memory.
PROGRAMMING SUMMARY
RUN MODE
Displays the current time (AM/PM format only), day of
week, and channel status as per schedule. In this mode,
the user can review all the following menus without
accidental modification:
YEAR DATE TIME
HOLIDAY
SCHEDULE
OVERRIDE
ASTRO
SET MODE
In the SET MODE, flashing LED’s guide user at the
appropriate times, to enter, change, review or delete
data in the five modes listed above. A flashing
channel LED, for example, is asking the user to enter
a new channel # or use the one that is flashing. Also,
a pair of flashing colons are asking for data entry into
display which could be year, date, time, etc. This
feature is the keynote to programming the unit.
Another feature is that any new entry or changes
(note that data entry/change is possible in the SET
MODE) will become active only when the SET/RUN
switch is moved from SET to RUN position. However
any existing entries would continue to be executed
while the SET/RUN switch was in the SET position.
After setting schedules and other data the SET/RUN
switch is moved to the RUN position. The unit will
then execute the true status of the circuits and no
manual ON/OFF is necessary.
The same will happen when the user sets a new
time; the circuit status would be current immediately.
(Look back feature).
Any time a key is pressed an audible signal is
generated (one beep). Every time the entry or
information is entered into the unit’s memory a
double beep signal will be generated. Errors will
generate a multiple-beep signal.
In order for any channel to execute its schedule, the (ONAUTO-OFF) switch must be in the AUTO POSITION.

SETTING THE SCHEDULES
Be sure battery switch is ON.
It is advisable to first layout schedules on the schedule
sheets supplied.
IMPORTANT: TO SET DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME,
PLEASE SEE ADDENDUM ON PAGE 7 AND EXECUTE
PRIOR TO SETTING SCHEDULES..
If the unit was started for the first time or if memory is
empty, the display shows a flashing SUN 12:00.
If the unit display shows a specific time indicating it retained
old time and data, then proceed with DATE TIME SET or
press the reset button to rid the unit of all data and start
fresh. (See page 1 — clear all memory.) Use a ballpoint
pen or end of a paper clip. Press gently.
Move the SET/RUN switch to the SET position. Be sure
battery switch is on.
YEAR DATE TIME SET
Press MODE SELECT until YEAR DATE TIME LED is lit
constantly (no flashing). The colon will be flashing and 4
zeros (00:00) will be displayed. Sequence of entries should
be: YEAR, MONTH/DATE, TIME. Each one is considered a
partial entry — together, they constitute a complete entry.
YEAR 1 9 8 6 — Press ADVANCE
MONTH/DATE 0 9 1 7 — Press ADVANCE (Correct day
is lit now)
TIME 0 8 1 5 — Press AM or PM, then press
ENTER (you will hear a double beep)
PM is on lower left screen, use AM/PM to change.
When no light is on, it indicates AM time.
YEAR DATE TIME SET LED is flashing again.
NOTES
If an error is made while entering one of the partial entries
(e.g., you keyed in the year 1925 but ADV is yet to be
pressed), just key in the correct year and press ADV.
TIME is the final partial entry in this sequence and the
ENTER key should be pressed. If ADV is pressed, year will
appear again. At this point, year can be changed or, simply
by pressing ADVANCE, MONTH/DATE could be brought on
the display and changed. Similarly by repeatedly pressing
ADVANCE any partial entry could be brought back and
changed. But always press ENTER at the last partial entry.
Time of Day is last partial entry.
HOLIDAY SET
1 Block Holidays
Press the MODE SELECT key until the HOLIDAY
LED is lit constantly (no flashing). The display will
show BLn and the BLOCK 1 LED will be flashing. If
you want to program the block, press ENTER.
The display will show 00:00 and the colon will be
flashing. The BLOCK 1 LED will be lit along with the
START-DATE LED. Use the numbered keys to
program the start date for the block (Month & Day).
Press ADV.
The display will show the same as before except that
the END DATE LED will be lit instead of the START
DATE LED. Program the end date for the block
(Month & Day). Press ENTER.
The same block number will be displayed along with
its flashing LED. Select the next block number to be
programmed and proceed as before. (You can
program up to 8 blocks.)
NOTES: If you do not want to program any more
block holidays, press ADV while the block number is
being displayed and the unit will go to the Single-Day
Holiday scheduling screen. (See Below)
Block dates can not overlap one another. An error
beep will sound. For example, if January 15th - 25th
is one block, you cannot begin another block from
January 20th to February 5th.
2 Single-Day Holidays
Press the MODE SELECT key until the HOLIDAY
LED starts to flash. Press the key once more and the
HOLIDAY LED is constantly lit.
The display will show BLn and the BLOCK NUMBER
1 LED will be flashing.
Press the ADV key to pass block programming and
go to single day holiday programming. The display
will show 00:00 with the colon flashing.
Use the numbered keys to program the date. Press
ENTER. Continue in the same manner to program up
to 40 other dates.
Press the MODE SELECT key when you have
entered the last date.
NOTES: Once you have passed the block holiday
section, you will not be able to program more block
holidays unless you use the MODE SELECT key to
enter the Holiday mode again.
A block holiday with the same start and end date will
be treated as a single day holiday. For example, if
you are out of single day holidays you can use a
block for December 25 - December 25.
All holidays (single and block) are selected when
“HO” is selected in the schedule mode.
Holidays may be entered in any order; unit will place
them chronologically. Up to 40 Holiday dates and 8
blocks may be set a year in advance.
