SECTION 3. TIMER PROGRAMMING
The built-in programmable digital timer is flexible and easy to setup. You can program up to 7 ON/OFF cycles for any individual day, or for every day of the week.
For instance, it would take one program to set the Powerbox to go on and off once per day, every day of the week.
1. Pop open the door of the Digital Timer with a small screw driver.
2. Ensure the ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the Digital Timer is set to the ON position.
3. Reset the Digital Timer by using a small paperclip to depress the recessed RESET button (small round hole).
SETTING THE CLOCK
4. The Digital Timer displays the time in 24-hour format by default following a reset. To change to 12-hour format, press
the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously and briefly (0:00 display = 24-hour format,12:00 display = 12-hour format).
5. Set the time using the HOUR and MIN buttons. If you have selected the 12-hour format, ensure that PM appears on the
screen when an afternoon time is displayed.
6. Set the day by using the DAY button.
7. Press one of the control buttons or close the Digital Timer door to return to normal operation.
PROGRAMMING THE DIGITAL TIMER
8. You can set up to 7 different programs with the digital timer. However, for a standard routine where the unit comes on and off at the same time every day, you
only need to set one program, and select all days of the week. To set a program, you need to enter its start time (ON) and its end time (OFF).
a. Pry the Digital Timer door open using a small screwdriver.
b. Press the PGM button once, and program number 1 (P1) and its On time (ON) will appear. -:-- will appear instead of the time if the program is not set (inactive).
c. Press the DAY button to select the day to which you want to apply the program. If you want to apply the program to every day of the week, press DAY until all the
days are displayed. This will count as only 1 program.
d. Press the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the ON time (time when you want devices to turn ON). If you have selected the 12-hour format, ensure that PM
appears on the screen when an afternoon time is displayed.
e. After you have programmed the ON time, press the PGM button briefly to display the OFF time (time when you want the devices to turn OFF).
f. By default, the same DAY(s) you selected for the ON time will be displayed for the OFF time.
g. Press the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the OFF time (time when you want devices to turn OFF). If you have selected the 12-hour format, ensure that PM
appears on the screen when an afternoon time is displayed.
h. To set another program, repeat steps (b) through (f). Programs that are not set will remain
inactive.
i. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.
SELECTING THE OPERATING MODE
9. The Digital Timer has 2 operating modes: manual (MAN) and automatic (AUTO). To switch modes, press and hold the switch door in for 3 seconds.
a. Manual Mode. The Digital Timer operates as a regular switch. Briefly press the switch door in to turn devices On of Off. The mode (MAN) and state (ON or OFF)
are displayed.
b. Automatic Mode. The Digital Timer follows the programmed schedule. The mode (AUTO), state (ON or OFF) and current program number are displayed. To
temporarily override the programmed schedule, briefly press the switch door. The new state (ON or OFF) will flash to show that this state is temporary. The
override remains in effect until you press the switch door again or until the beginning of the next program.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
BLANK OR FAINT TIMER DISPLAY: 1. Verify there is power to the unit. 2. Ensure the ON/OFF selector switch on the Digital Timer is set to ON. 3. Reset
the Digital Timer using a small paperclip. IF THE TIMER DISPLAY IS STILL HARD TO READ OR APPEARS FADED OUT: Verify that the neutral wire is properly
connected at the main panel and at the point where it connects to the Powerbox. This Powerbox requires a true neutral connection to function properly. If
you have verified that the neutral wire is properly connected, and the timer display still appears faint, the internal backup battery needs recharging. RESET
THE TIMER by pressing the RESET button with a paperclip. Now, leave the unit connected to the main power and leave the unit on for 90 minutes to give the
battery time to fully charge. Check the display again and it should appear normal.
PROGRAMS DO NOT RUN AS EXPECTED: Make sure the Digital Timer is properly programmed. Note that -:-- indicates an inactive program, 00:00 indicates
midnight. If the Timer has been configured for 12-hour format, check that PM appears on the left side of the screen when as afternoon time is displayed.
Make sure the timer is in AUTO mode.
CANNOT SWITCH BETWEEN 24-HOUR and 12-HOUR FORMAT: First, press one of the control buttons so that MAN or AUTO appears on the display.
TIMED OUTLETS DON’T WORK / WON’T TURN ON: Check that the main circuit breaker is turned on. Check that the recessed switch under the timer front
panel is switched ON. Check that the timer display reads ON. Check the main connection and ensure that all wires are connected properly.
