Move the jumper on the lower bank (J6) from its resting position (P1) to P4.  This is 
the system configuration position.  Next, select the jumper position on upper bank J7 
to achieve the desired function.  Reference the table on page 20 for appropriate 
jumper position locations. 

  

Once the desired jumper position has been achieved, use the UP or DOWN push-
buttons to make changes.  Once the desired time delays have been set, move jumper 
back to resting position (P1) of the upper bank (J7).  If additional time delays are 
desired, move the jumper to the appropriate position and once again use the push-
buttons to set desired voltage to achieve desired time delay.
