SETTING SWITCHING TIMES

The mains electricity supply must be ON, the key inserted and turned to 
either the 

Set Programme

 position (Model 841) or 

Set Channel 1

 position 

(Model 842) before carrying out any operations detailed below.

Initially the display will show

 

E E E E

indicating that the memory is empty.

Since the timeswitch is capable of automatically carrying out up to 200 
switching operations it is recommended that the required programme be 
tabulated before setting is commenced, noting that the day number on 
display is the current day of the week. A table is provided for this purpose. 
In addition, facilities are provided to record the programme(s) entered on 
the enclosed card, which can be located adjacent to the unit if required.

It is not essential to key in the programme in sequence since it will 
automatically be sorted into chronological order.

To set a programme event:

First press the number key representing the day of the week to be 
programmed.

Secondly, key in the time using four numeric keypads in the range 0000 
to 2359.

Finally press   Enter   to enter the required event into the memory.

The unit will not allow the entry of a spurious day or time e.g. day 8 will not 
be accepted nor will a time entry of 3600. Depression of an out of range 
key will not register on the display; the LCD digit will blink but remain 
unchanged until an acceptable number is keyed.

Proceed with the programming of every event using the same entry 
sequence.

If an attempt is made to exceed 200 programme events then the display 
will show

 

F F F F

indicating that the memory is full.

If an incorrect key is pressed then press the   Cancel   key and re-commence 
the sequence.

If a programme event is repeated at the same time on different days then 
the keying may be simplifi ed as follows.

Key in the fi rst event using the normal entry sequence. Now simply key in 
the new day number and then   Enter   .

For Model 842 only:

 Having completed the programme setting for 

Channel 1, turn the key to Set Channel 2 and enter the programme required 
for this channel in the same manner.

Note: The 200 switching operations are able to be freely spread over 
both channels. If a common event time is required on both channels this 
represents only one switching operation.

The complete programme may be checked by the use of the

   Verify    key. Each press of this key will advance the programme by one 
event allowing a complete review in chronological sequence commencing 
from the day and time on display. If a particular day’s programme is to be 
reviewed then key the day number followed by

 

0 0 0 0

 & 

Verify

when the fi rst programmed event for that day will be displayed then 
proceed with repeated presses of the    Verify    key.

When re-programming one or more events, unwanted events 
must be cleared by advancing to the event in question using the    

  Verify   key as explained above and then clearing it by a single press on 
the   Cancel   key.

In the case of Model 842 both the Verify and Cancel functions apply only 
to the channel selected by the keyswitch at that time.

To clear the entire programme on both channels, press and hold down the   
Cancel   key for approx. 3 seconds until the display shows

 

E E E E

On completion of programming return the key to 

Run 

and the selector 

switch(es) to 

Auto

.

BATTERY RESERVE

The unit does not rely on the internal battery in order to work satisfactorily 
providing the mains power supply is connected to the unit. The battery is 
fi tted purely to memorise the Time of Day and selected Switching Times 
in the event of a power failure or disconnection of supply.

When the unit is fi rst connected it will require a minimum of 24 hours to 
become suffi ciently charged in order to perform this memory function. 
Thereafter the battery is automatically recharged.

If the mains power supply is lost, for any reason, the display on the unit 
will go out. The battery will maintain the memory for a period of up to 3 
months during this condition. When the power supply is restored, the unit 
will automatically switch on again and resume the set programme without 
any resetting being necessary.
