Batt-Latch

 Instruction Manual

Congratulations

 -You have just set a JOB!  

The Batt-Latch will now cycle through displays showing the current day and 
time and each of the JOBs that are set. It is a good idea to review the JOBs to 
check that you have set them correctly. If everything is set OK just leave the 
Batt-Latch and after 45 seconds it will switch off automatically. The display will 
show: 
 

               [GOING TO SLEEP..]             

 
The internal clock will still be running and the Batt-Latch is always checking if 
it has to perform a JOB.  When the time comes to perform a JOB the Batt-
Latch will wake up and perform a gate release. 
 

Points to note:  

 

  When setting the time, take careful note of 

AM or PM 

settings. 

  Repeat JOBs show 

*

 next to the day e.g. . 

[JOB2 TUE* 1:30PM]

 is a 

repeat JOB occurring on Tuesday afternoons.  

 
To run a 

QUICK TIMER TEST

 at any stage, simply wake the unit up with a 

keypress if needed. Then press the MIN key two or three times to set a job a 
few minutes ahead. Press ENTER to confirm it’s a one-off JOB. Within the 
next two or three minutes the timer will at first go to sleep, then wake up and 
rotate the cam once. That JOB is now finished, and is not held in memory.

Clearing a JOB 

 
You will need to Clear a JOB if: 
 

  You don’t want a JOB any more (saves battery and release system). 

  You made a mistake in the settings for a JOB. 

  You want to set a new JOB but there are already 4 JOBs set (4 is the 

maximum) 

  Repeat JOBs are no longer required.  

 

Step 1. 

Switch on the unit by pressing a key, the display will cycle through 
the jobs currently set. 

 

Step 2. 

When the JOB that you want to clear is displayed on the screen, 
press 

CLEAR.

 

 

Step 3. 

You will get a message e.g.

[CLEAR JOB1?  YES]

 

 

Step 4. 

Use any key except ENTER to toggle between YES and NO if 
needed, and then press 

ENTER 

when you are sure. That JOB has 

now been cleared (or left as it was).  

 
Note: When storing the Batt-Latch or changing release times, it is a good idea 
to clear old JOBs, which saves the battery life and the mechanism from 
redundant release operations.
