Installation
-
Find a location where the LCD display is visible, and the buttons accessible. Mark the location.
-
Connect the wires (see Overview, Terminal Layout Chart, pg. 2 and Basic Wiring, pg. 4).
-
Connect a 12~24 VAC or 10~48 VDC power supply to the power input terminals, 1 and 2.
-
Connect the 12VDC battery backup to the backup battery input terminals 3 (+) and 4 (–) if desired (not included).
-
Connect the devices that are being controlled to the outputs of relays 1 and/or 2 as well as any other devices being connected.
NOTE: To protect the relay, you must install a 1N4004 diode—with the cathode (striped end , not included) wired toward the positive side—in parallel with the power supply and as close to the lock as possible for DC powered locks unless your lock has a diode built in. AC powered locks and electromagnetic locks require a varistor/MOV (05D390K or similar, not included) wired in the same location if the lock does not have one built in (all SECO-LARM electromagnetic locks have built-in protection). Failure to use these as directed will void the warranty. -
Close the case and mount the unit to the location marked above.
Basic Wiring
NOTES
- When connecting to a backup battery, the battery voltage must be 12VDC ONLY.
- Only a battery can be connected to the backup battery input. Do not connect a power adapter.
- When its optional N.O. switch is activated, the first person-in (first-man-in, FM) function suspends the timer operation. If the corresponding relay is turned on before first-person-in is activated, the relay remains on until the first-person-in switch is deactivated. Once deactivated, the timer will turn on the last programmed function prior to the first-person-in activation
Sample Application
- An RF receiver can be used to trigger the egress wirelessly. The receiver’s COM terminal is connected to a ground and the N.O. terminal is connected to the timer’s egress input. A second output on the RF can be connected to the first-person in (first-man-in, FM) terminal.
- A compatible RF transmitter can then be used to trigger the egress, via the RF receiver and the first person-in (first-man-in, FM) function. 3A gate operator connected to the relay output is triggered and opens a gate.
Programming Introduction
A convenient feature is the ability to program it before installation. The EEPROM memory stores and protects programming instructions even during a power failure and the super capacitor, after a full charge (about 24 hours), will preserve the date and time for 7~10 days after power is lost.
Programming is easier and faster if you know exactly how you want to use the timer and have a good understanding of the functions it has.
Programming Recommendations
- It is recommended that you follow the programming instructions in the order given as this will make the installation easier.
- Determine which relays will operate the devices that will be controlled.
- Determine whether two relays will be used in tandem.
- Using a separate piece of paper, write down your programming notes.
- a. Any events that can be block coded. i.e., events that occur in a pattern.
- b. All the events you want to program, as well as their duration (up to 60 per relay).
- c. Any holiday you wish to program to override the programmed events.
- Decide whether you want to use a PIN code or not. See Programming a PIN Code on pg. 10.
LCD Display
Besides the obvious text entries, there are some abbreviations or icons that
should be noted.
- Indicates backup battery is charging
- Indicates Daylight Savings Time is activated
- Return to parent menu
- Indicates device is locked with PIN code
NOTE: OFF or ON in the top right corner of the screen refers to the relay status. OFF means that neither relay is triggered. If either relay is on, the display will change to ON.
Programming Buttons
Programming is accomplished with two buttons.
- SEL – The Select button is used to navigate the menu to select the function to be programmed.
- ENTER – When a choice has been selected, the Enter button is used for changing and confirming an option. Pressing once will change to the next option. Pressing and holding will cycle ahead rapidly, handy for number options when you need to skip much further ahead.
Programming Menu Flow Chart
When you first apply power to the timer, you will see a startup screen for
about 3 seconds followed by a home screen showing the day and time (which you
will set later). Repeatedly pushing the SEL button will then rotate you
through the basic programming menus as shown below.
Screen Readout | Description |
---|---|
Set Events | ENTER to set timed events (up to 60 per relay) |
including event number, relay number, how the relay will operate, and the day
and time the event is scheduled. Block programming for events is also
available.
S e t H o li d y| ENTER to program a
holiday event, i.e., a day when the normal operation of the timer should be
suspended.
S e t P i n C o d e| ENTER to set
a PIN code to secure the timer from unauthorized tampering (optional,
4-digits, factory preset = 0000).
S e t T i m e| ENTER to set both the current
day and time (using 24-hour, military time format).
Set DST| ENTER to enable/disable Daylight Savings Time – Disable
(Standard time) or Enable (Add 1hr)
S y s t m T e s t| ENTER to show the
current status of both relays, whether on or off and to test the operation of
each relay.
S e t D i s p l y| ENTER to adjust the
contrast of the display using relative numbers 00~09.
Set Tandem| ENTER to enable or disable the two relays to trigger
together in tandem.
C l r M e m o r y| ENTER to clear all
programmed items except the PIN code from the memory. You will be required to
confirm yes or no.
E x i t| ENTER to exit programming mode and return to the
home screen.
Programming
The basic steps for programming are as follows.
- Go to the menu for the feature you wish to program by pressing the SEL button.
- Press the ENTER button to enter that menu.
- The first programming option will be flashing. Press the ENTER button to change that option and press the SEL button to move to the next option and repeat.
- Move to the Return icon and press the ENTER button to save your changes and exit to the home screen.
NOTES:
• In the instructions below, the PIN Code will be assumed to be disabled. If
enabled, you’ll need to
enter your PIN code before beginning programming.
• Holding the ENTER button down will cause it to quickly move through the
options
Setting the Display Contrast
NOTES
- The contrast is represented relatively from 00~09 (default, 00). Continuing to press ENTER after reaching 09 will start the cycle over at 00.
- The display contrast can also be set at any time by pressing and holding the SEL and ENTER buttons at the same time. The screen contrast will gradually adjust. If you continue to hold them, the contrast settings will cycle back to 00 and start over. When it reaches the level that you desire, release the buttons.
Setting the Day and Time
NOTE: The time is displayed in 24-hour, military format where 1:00 PM is written as 13:00:00.
Programming Events
NOTE : Relay operations are Dis (shunt), ON, t=x (momentary, where x=01~99 seconds), or OFF.
Programming a Holiday Event
NOTES
- In programming holidays, 00 is equivalent to “disable.”
- Note that holiday events are for 24-hour periods beginning at midnight and cannot be limited to certain hours.
- On a holiday, the lower portion of the timer display will alternate between the date and >HOLI.
Programming Daylight Savings Time
NOTE: DST options are as shown below.
- Disable – Standard time
- Enable – Adds one hour
Programming a PIN Code
If you forget the PIN Code, proceed as follows to unlock the timer and enter programming mode.
- Turn off power to the timer and disconnect the backup battery.
- Power up the timer and immediately press and hold the ENTER button for at least 3 seconds, until the lock icon disappears from the display. This returns the PIN code to 0000.
- Proceed with programming as usual.
Programming Relays in Tandem
Performing a System Test
NOTE: Performing the system test on a relay toggles that relay based on its current state. If the relay is currently ON, pressing ENTER to test will toggle it OFF and vice versa. If currently OFF, it would toggle to ON.
Clearing the Memory
Smart Charging
The timer’s smart charging feature controls charging so that the battery is only charged when necessary to prolong the life of the battery and ensure that a battery is not overcharged.
When a backup battery is connected, the timer will automatically detect it and start charging if the battery voltage is less than 11.5V. However, if a battery’s voltage is too far below that level, the timer will not charge the battery to avoid a potential unsafe condition.
Charging will stop when the battery voltage reaches 12.8V and will remain on standby until the battery voltage again falls below 11.5V or after 2 weeks, whichever comes first. Checking Power Input and Backup Battery Level
Checking Power Input and Backup Battery Level
To check the power input and backup battery level, from the home screen, press
the ENTER button.
To check the power input and backup battery level, from the home screen, press the ENTER button.
The power input voltage will be shown as Pv=xx.x where xx.x represents the current input voltage.
The current backup battery level will be shown as Bv=xx.x or Bv xx.x, where xx.x represents the current battery voltage and indicates that the battery is currently being charged.
Troubleshooting
My backup battery is not charging|
- Ensure all battery connections are correct and tight.
- Press the ENTER button from the home screen to show the “power input and battery level” screen to confirm that the battery is connected but not charging.
- Note that the battery will stop charging when the battery reaches 12.9 V and will not resume charging until the battery’s voltage falls below 11.5V or after 2 weeks, whichever comes first
