Difficulty in
• The two most common mistakes are forgetting
Programming
to press

after each time entry and
forgetting to select a load with the
Enable
switch. You cannot program switch times
(PROGRAM)
unless you select a load using the
Enable
switches. Pressing the
HELP
key
when an error (ERR--) message appears will
explain the error and may offer
recommended action.

Problem
Solution(s)
• This timer provides an automatic 15 sec. delay
between successive circuits when programmed
to switch at the same On time. Use the Inter-
val or Pulse features to eliminate if required.
NOTE:
ASTRO
switching times change daily
according to changing Sunrise and Sunset.
Consider fixed times with this in mind, e.g. a
fixed
Off i
ntended to end an Astro On would
be ignored if sunset moves beyond the fixed
Off t
ime. The fixed event should be scheduled
to occur outside the range of the Astro event,
or an Astro Pulse should be considered.
NOTE: Override intervals are not ended by
scheduled events; they can only be ended by
timing out, by power interruptions, or by
pressing the ON/OFF key.

NOTE:
Override intervals or pulses are not
ended by scheduled OFF events; they can only
be ended by timing out, by power interruptions,
or by pressing the
ON/OFF
key. At the
termination of an override interval or pulse, the
load may be on or off. If the override interval or
pulse was initiated via the front panel
ON/OFF
key, the load will normally be off at the end of
the override interval or pulse; the load will
remain on only if an ON set point has occurred
during the override interval or pulse. If the
override interval or pulse was initiated via the
remote override connector, the circuit will
revert to its normally programmed condition at
the end of the override interval or pulse.
