Basic Operation

PT2724 controls two independently operated dry form “C” relays. Relays can be programmed to: turn on (latch), turn off (release latch) or pulse (momentary toggle) at a specified time and day (this is referred to as an event). Events are programmed via the push buttons and LCD display. Events may be programmed to occur on any day of the week at any time. In addition, events may be programmed as a block events that repeat at a specific time on two (2) or more consecutive days (i.e. MO-FR, SU-TH, etc). Multiple combinations of individual and block events may be programmed. Holiday exceptions are individually selected by date and will override all regularly scheduled events.

Output Relay Modes

Mode Status
Relay OFF De-energizes the relay until a relay ON event is detected.
Relay ON Energizes the relay until a relay OFF event is detected.
Disable Used to cancel an existing programmed event.
Pulse Momentarily energizes the relay for a selectable time period of 1 sec.

to 15 secs.

Time is displayed in 24 hr. military format.
