Things you should know about programming events

– You can repeat the ON and OFF programming procedures for up to 7 events.
– In order to use programmed times, MODE must be set to AUTO or RDM
– ON / OFF button overrides the current programmed events.

WARNING

While setting events, the timer may prematurely turn on the load, if you press the MODE button. Three kinds of settings can cause the timer to work in an unexpected way:

– Do not set up events out of order. Be sure to set up events in progressive order of time (for example, 8:00pm ON, 9:00 pm ON, 10:00 pm ON — NOT 8:00 pm ON, 10:00 pm ON, 9:00 pm ON).
– Do not overlap event times (for example, 8:00 pm ON /12:00pm OFF, and 9:00 pm ON / 11:00 pm OFF).
– Do not set ON / OFF events within 30 minutes or less from one another if you are going to use the timer in the Random Mode.
The Random Mode interval is ± 15 minutes from the programmed times, and programs set too close together may overlap one another.

REVIEWING EVENTS PROGRAMMED

1. In the current time display, press the PROG (Program) button repeatedly to check your settings.
2. When finished, press the CLK button to return the display to the time of day

CLEARING (DELETING) AN EVENT

1. Press the PROG (Program) button as many times as necessary to locate the setting you want to clear.
2. Press and hold the MODE button.
3. Press the PROG button to clear the setting.
4. When finished, press the CLK button to return the display to the time of day.

OPERATING THE TIME SWITCH

Press the MODE button repeatedly to set the timer to Automatic, Random or Manual mode.

NOTE : For the time switch to run programmed events, it must be set to “AUTO” mode.

AUTO: runs all events automatically, according to the schedule you have set. The word “AUTO” appears in the display.
RDM (Random): runs all events in a RANDOM mode. This is a security feature in which ON and OFF times randomly differ ± 15 minutes of the programmed times, creating a more “lived-in” look. The word “RDM” appears in the display.

NOTE : DO NOT set the ON / OFF events within 30 minutes or less from one another if you are going to use this timer in the RANDOM MODE. The RANDOM MODE is ± 15 minutes of programmed times and may overlap one another, causing the timer to possibly not work as desired.

MANUAL: turns ON and OFF only when the user presses the ON or OFF button.
The display is blank, showing neither RDM or AUTO.

OVERRIDING TIMER SETTINGS

The ON / OFF button overrides the current programmed events.
To override the current program (either ON or OFF), press the ON/OFF button.

NOTE : If the timer is not in “Manual” mode, it will obey the next programmed event.
This allows the user to manually turn a light on and allow the program to shut the light back off at a preset time.

RESETTING THE TIMER

In case of an operational failure of the timer, insert a thin non-conducting object (like a wood toothpick) into the RESET orifice to clear all settings and restart.

If display screen is blank:

1. Connect timer to junction box.
2. Gently press the reset button until digital display appears.
3. Follow programming instructions.
