Holiday schedules and dates will remain in timer memory until
deliberately cleared. For those Holidays whose dates vary from
year to year, you must manually revise the start and stop dates (in
SET UP review) annually. Holidays may not be programmed to
end before their start date and must end by Dec. 31.

The 

OK

key must be pressed after   

each complete entry; pressing it

advances you to the next data prompt. The 

OK

key is similar to

an Enter key. After okaying a switching time, the timer automa-
tically prompts for the alternate switching activity; i.e. Off after
On, On after Off (except after a pulse or interval entry). Pressing
the 

OK 

key without making another switching time entry alter-

nates the On/Off prompt, allowing a succession of Off or On
events. 

OK

is the

final step

after programming all steps and

enabling circuits for each switching time/type. 

CLEAR

clears the last digit entered; additional digits are cleared

from the display each time 

CLEAR

is pressed. 

CLEAR

is also used

to clear an error code or message and return the display to the
same data that appeared before attempting to 

OK

the data.

While in Review pressing 

CLEAR

deletes the displayed data from

the program for the load(s) selected with 

Enable

. Press 

REV

to

continue Review.

COPY

allows you to use the same schedule for groups of days

other than those available on the keypad (

WKDYs, WKNDs

or

ALL

). Simply press 

COPY

after entering a schedule for a specific 

day, and at the 

DAY

prompt key in the day you wish to copy to.

You may also copy a day that was previously programmed by
pressing that day’s key, pressing the 

OK

key, then the 

COPY

key.

The display will show the selected day followed by 

COPY

. Now

key in the day you wish to copy to and press 

OK

to confirm. 

Select and 

OK

additional copy to days as required. Four rules

need to be followed when using 

COPY

1) You cannot copy to a day that has already been programmed.
2) You cannot copy from a day which has already been copied to.
3) You cannot copy to or from a day group.

OK

CLEAR

COPY

HELP

4) The 

COPY

feature copies the programmed schedules of all the

circuits of the copy from day to the corresponding circuits of 
the copy to day regardless of the positions of the circuit 

Enable

switches. Individual circuit schedules may not be copied 
independently.

HELP

provides help messages specific to each step in 

SET UP

and

PROGRAM

. If you make an error, it will be indicated in the 

LED

display with an error code. (See Error Messages at the back of this
booklet, or press 

HELP 

to scroll the message across the display.)

Pressing any key or allowing the message to finish returns the display
to the same point you were at before the error was made. 

LOAD CONTROLS

There are two controls and an LED indicator for
each load. 

Enable/Disable

activates automatic

switching of the load by the time switch, enables
the override function in 

RUN

mode and selects

circuits being programmed in 

SET

mode.

The

ON/OFF 

key manually switches the load independently of the

time switch and cancels any previously initiated activity, including

PULSEs, INTVLs

(Intervals) or override intervals. The 

ON/OFF

key

does not interfere with events that occur after its use. The 

ON/OFF

keys and LEDs will operate the loads and indicate status regardless of
the position of the 

RUN

/

SET

switch. When timer power is restored

after a power interruption, all loads will initially be Off. The timer
then restores any enabled loads to their programmed status as of mid-
night (12:00 AM) of the present day. For this reason, for On periods
that include midnight, if load operation is desired immediately after
power restoration, use a redundant 

On 

set point at each affected

midnight (12:00 AM) to guarantee predictable catch-up.

If more than one load is scheduled to turn

On, 

the soft start feature

will turn them 

On 

successively at 15 sec. intervals. Therefore, it is

generally advisable to put lighting loads on low-numbered circuits to
hasten their turn-on after power is restored. All same-scheduled loads
turn Off simultaneously at the scheduled time. If a soft start is not 
desired, program those loads using 
interval or pulse.
