master synchronized Unit, an ‘m’ is  
displayed on the screen.

If you attempt to change a setting that would make the 
master/slave patterns incompatible, the Smart Interrupter 
emits a 2-second tone and the following screen is displayed. 

Pressing the OK button will allow the settings to be 
changed but with no further warnings being displayed, 
and synchronization may be lost. The unit will remain 
synchronized if any other button is pressed or 5 seconds 
have elapsed.

If you attempt to switch off a Smart Interrupter that has 
been synchronized with a serial lead the following screen 
is displayed accompanied by a warning beep. If you select 
Yes and press OK the unit will switch off. If you select No 
and press OK the unit remains 
switched on and synchronized. 

If synchronizing a non-GPS version and a GPS version use 
the synchronization cable method to synchronize units. Using 
the GPS antenna to synchronize a GPS Smart Interrupter 
overrides cable synchronization.

Operating the Smart Interrupter (GPS version)

Note: Use this method when using the Smart Interrupter with 
the SCM.

The GPS Smart Interrupter can be individually synchronized. 
The unit will synchronize and stay in synchronization as long 
as the antenna is plugged in to the GPS antenna socket 
on the Smart Interrupter, has a clear view of the sky, and 
is receiving a GPS signal. Synchronization is automatically 
updated every 30 minutes.

Note: If the unit has not been used for some time (over 4 
weeks) it may take several minutes for the Smart Interrupter 
to obtain a GPS signal. This is normal and does not require 
any user action. 

GPS operation symbols are:

 

GPS standby-GPS asleep (no action required)

 

GPS searching

 

Timer active
