Back of Timer with Terminal Labels
This timer replaces obsolete electromechanical timers in a variety of older
battery chargers.
Note that the installation of this timer is not a direct “bolt-in”
replacement.
Some modification of the charger cabinet may be necessary (e.g.- drilling
holes), as well as a basic electrical knowledge and skill level.
Basic electrical tools are necessary. A multi-meter may also be required.
Timer Terminal Connections
There are 3 push-on, ¼” terminals and 1 loose wire for the electrical
connections to this timer. Your application will dictate the connection method
of the loose wire – it may use a wire nut (wrapped in electrical tape), or a
crimped terminal to properly connect.

Timer Circuit Function
Terminal 5 and the loose wire are the AC input required to run the timer,
usually from the AC power cord.
Terminal 4 is the AC output to supply the charger with power – usually sending
the timer-controlled AC current to the transformer or rate select switch.
Current flows when the timer is in an “ON” position – either while counting
down or in the HOLD position.
Terminal 6 is not used.
Panel Mounting Instructions
If it is necessary to drill or punch holes to mount the timer, the template at
left may be used to mark the cabinet for drilling or punching. The panel will
need two holes, in accordance with the diagram. The timer knob stem fits
through the 3/8” hole, and the smaller 3/16” hole accepts the anti-rotation
locking pin on the timer body. (Dial label 609063 is used for this horizontal
screw configuration. Order separately, or in kit 697203.)
An optional orientation is to rotate the template 90 degrees counter-clockwise
to mark and drill the holes. This places the OFF position at approximately 11
o’clock from the stem.
(Dial label 609064 is used for the vertical screw configuration. Order
separately, or in kit 697203.)
