USA only, based on Federal law current as of January 1, 2007. The Timer will handle the changes in daylight savings time legislated to go
into effect in 2007. Should this change not be actually implemented in 2007, the Timer can be set to continue to operate according to prior
law. See the later section on
Reset
for more information.

When all fields have been set correctly, push the ENTER button to commit all settings and go back to RUN. The Timer will set its internal
seconds counter to 00 seconds when ENTER is pressed.

To aid in testing, if you want to check out a program or trigger quickly, you can force the timer to set a time that is at 58 seconds after the
HH:MM selected on this screen. To accomplish this, make sure to press the LEFT and RIGHT buttons simultaneously before pressing the
ENTER button to save the screen’s settings.

o
If you do not know your latitude and longitude, go to

SET TRYs, UPB NID and EMERGENCY mode (Push MENU Button until the TRY/NID screen is displayed):
o
Display shows the values for TRYs, UPB Network ID (NID) and EMERGENCY mode. Defaults are 1 TRY, a NID of 001 and NONE L001
for EMERgency.
o
TRY refers to how many times a program or trigger will issue its UPB Link command. Each Try is about 13 seconds apart. For most
applications, a value of 1 is the best selection. For installations where the Timer will be used only to run scheduled programs, where it will
not be used as a tabletop controller and where either noise or low signal strength make UPB operation less than optimal, it is possible to set
this value to 2, 3 or 4. If you do want to use this device as an emergency indicator, if is strongly recommended that you leave the value of
TRY at 1.
o
The default for UPB Network ID (NID) is 1. See the UPB Operations section (earlier) for more information about this value. NOTE: If you
do not set this value correctly, you will NOT be able to control UPB devices in your home.
o
Use UP/DOWN to set the NID to desired value (1 – 250).
