SETTING THE EVENT TIMER
Note:
If you become lost while setting any of the numbers, the settings operate the same as the display set.
In other words, if any numbers are missed the first time around, they will repeat again by holding in the
pushbutton. Also, the power key can be cycled on and off to start over from the beginning or the key
chain remote option allows you to advance or reverse all numbers using both of its buttons.
As an example, let’s set the sign to operate only during normal to high traffic hours (for conserving the battery)
to run daily from 5:30 AM to 11:45 PM. The current time is 8:17 AM. These would be the programming steps:
Turn power on. After the brightness number changes, push the button and stop on “ST”, the“Set Time”
mode. Push the button until the display shows “EN” (Enable):
1. Wait five seconds for “OH” (“ON” Hour) to display.
“OH” displays. Push the button to see 05 (hours) on the display
2. Wait five seconds for “OM” (“ON” Minute) to display.
“OM” is displayed. Push the button to see 30 (minutes)
3. Wait five seconds for “FH” (“OFF” Hour) to display.
“FH” is displayed. Push the button to see “23” (11PM)
4. Wait five seconds for “FM” (“OFF” Minute) to display.
“FM” is displayed. Push the button to see “45” desired time
5. Wait five seconds for “HR” (Current Hour) to display
“HR” is displayed. Push the button to set “08”
6. Wait five seconds for “MN” (Current Minute) to display
“MN” is displayed. Push the button to set “17”

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your FAST–18T will run for 7-10 days between charges. For optimum results, turn off the power and charge the
unit when not in use. Do not allow the battery to drain completely. The FAST–18T comes equipped with an
internal waterproof battery charger (charger manufacturer may vary). Remember that the plug is located on
the side of the enclosure underneath a weatherproof cap next to the “On/Off” switch. Position the trailer near a
standard electrical outlet and connect using a heavy gauge extension cord.
Note:
A charging extension cord is not supplied. DO NOT use light duty extension cords as they are electrically
unsuitable and may present a risk of fire or produce an electric shock. To avoid this, always use a
standard Heavy-Duty #16 wire-gauge extension cord no longer than 25ft. A longer distance requires a
heavier wire gauge cord.
The charger is completely automatic and may be left connected to both AC power and to the battery that it is
charging for long periods of time. However, it is best to periodically check both the battery and the charger for
normal operation during these extended charging periods.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The batteries included with your trailer are a marine grade“sealed” AGM battery. If
lead-acid replacement batteries are ever used (NOT RECOMMENDED), be sure to vent
the enclosure when charging to prevent buildup of hazardous gases. Ensure charger is
charged to the appropriate charge cycle for the different battery chemistry.
