- Press the OFF button on the remote. When the OFF button has been sucesfully paired the indicator will flash 3 times, turning off after the third flash.
- To completely clear all paired remotes, press the button 8 times.
- The unit will only operate with remotes which have a separate ON and OFF button; single button remotes are not compatible.
Adjusting or Removing the Off Delay
- The unit is supplied with a 10 second off delay. This means that when the OFF button is pressed on any remote, the extractor will run for a further 10 seconds from this time.
- The purpose of an extractor off delay is to clear before it shuts down.
- The delay can adjusted to between 0.1 seconds and 3 hours using the dials on the timer.
- With the power disconnected, use a small screw driver to adjust the dials to acheive the required off delay.
- The bottom dial selects the function of the timer, and is supplied set at D (delay off).
- The top dial selects the maxium time.
- The middle dial allows finer a time applied. 1=10%, 5=50% e.g.:
- To select 10 seconds, turn the top dial to 10s and the middle to 10.
- To select 30 seconds, turn the top dial to 1m and the middle to 5 e.g. it operates at 50% of the selected 1m.
- To select the shortest possible delay of and the middle to 1.
- If an off delay is not required and even 0.1 seconds is too long, the delay can be removed completely by turning the bottom dial to B. With this function you must also select 1s on the top dial and 5 on the middle dial. The time set in the B function is the length of the off pulse sent to the DoL starter, not the off delay. Failure to adjust the time when using function B may result in an excessively long off pulse, preventing the extractor from being started until the end of the pulse.
