Setting Operating Mode
The time switch can be set to one of three operating modes: AUTO (default setting), ENERGY SAVER or MANUAL. Once operating
mode is selected the time switch setup is complete.
NOTE: If no scheduled events are programmed, only MANUAL mode is available.
In AUTO mode, the time switch follows the user-programmed events and the circuit turns ON and OFF at the programmed time(s).
•
To place in AUTO mode, press MODE and advance until the
AUTO
icon appears on the display.
•
In AUTO mode, pressing an ON/OFF button temporarily overrides the current state of the circuit. The time switch returns to the
normal schedule at the next programmed event.
In ENERGY SAVER mode the time switch operates similarly to AUTO mode with the following exceptions:
•
The ON/OFF buttons manually activate the circuit for only a 2-hour period.
•
When a 2-hour period is active, pressing ON/OFF extends the active period by 2 hours.
•
Pressing and holding (for 3 seconds) the ON/OFF button will turn OFF the circuit.
For ENERGY SAVER mode, press the MODE button until the
AUTO
icon on the display flashes.
In MANUAL mode the time switch does not follow any programmed events and only activates the circuit when the ON/OFF button is
pressed.
•
For MANUAL mode, press the MODE button until the
MANUAL
icon appears on the display.
Deleting (Clearing) an Event

Clearing Time Switch Memory
During a “Clear Time Switch Memory” operation, the time switch resets all programmed settings to their factory default value. The
following occurs:
•
After a brief period of time the time switch model number appears, followed by the USB Boot Loader version, EE Boot Loader
version, the firmware revision and finally the Reset Reason Code.
•
MEMCLR is displayed followed by DONE when the operation is completed.
To perform a “Clear Time Switch Memory” operation do the following:
1.
Press and hold ENTER/NEXT.
2.
While pressing and holding ENTER/NEXT, press and release the RESET (round) button. Do not release ENTER/NEXT.
3. Continue to press and hold ENTER/NEXT until
MEM CLEAR
then
DONE
briefly appears.
Writing Time Switch Program Data to a USB Memory Stick
The time switch has the capability to copy its programmed data (event schedules, holidays, output configuration, DST on/off setting,
DST rule setting and geographical location) to a USB memory stick. Follow these steps to transfer all programming from the time
switch to a USB memory stick:
1.
Press MODE to advance until

is displayed. Press + or - to increment/decrement the schedule number on the display (01-99).
5.
When the desired number is displayed, press ENTER and this will write the data file to the USB memory stick. The file name will
be
SCHEDLxx.TXT
where xx is the schedule number selected in the previous step.
6. After the file is written

is shown on the display.
7.
Remove the USB memory stick and the time switch will advance to the next mode selection. If all procedures are completed,
press MODE repeatedly until back to the operating mode selection (AUTO, ENERGY SAVER, MANUAL).
