Initial Setup
The following sections provide instructions for the initial setup of the time switch.
Setting The Output Configuration
The time switch output configuration enables users to control multiple loads simultaneously (SIM), independently (IND), or with a
2-second pulse (PUL). Output circuits are configured in pairs; circuits #1 and #2 first, followed by circuits #3 and #4.
In PUL mode, an ON event or manual override, causes circuit #1 to turn ON for two seconds, then OFF. An OFF event, or manual
override, causes circuit #2 to turn ON for two seconds, then OFF.
NOTE:
The output configuration setup can only be accessed at initial startup of the unit or after a “Clearing Time Switch Memory”
operation. Follow this procedure to set the output configuration.
