TIM-01 User Manual
5 UPB Timer (TIM-01) Version 3
The only way the TIM-01 Timer can control UPB devices is by issuing Link commands, therefore every device to be controlled must be associated
with one or more Links and the behavior of each of those Links must be defined for each device to be controlled by that Link. UPB devices and Links
cannot be adequately set up by manual means – you must use the Web Mountain NetPlace server, the free download program UPStart or some other
programming tool to set up the modules and Links. See
www.webmtn.com
for more information about UPB programming tools or to download
UPStart.
Once Links have been defined, they can either be Activated or Deactivated. Activating a Link means to set all UPB modules associated with that Link
to the values defined for the Link. Deactivating a Link means to turn off all UPB modules associated with that Link. Although it is possible to set up
Links to specifically turn devices off, the easiest way to implement turning all devices associated with a Link off is to Deactivate the Link.

On and Off Programs
Every circuit or scene to be controlled automatically by the Timer needs to have two programs defined – one to turn the circuit or scene on and one to
turn it off. The easiest way to do this is to set up one program to Activate a Link and another program to Deactivate the same Link. Another way to
do this is to define a Link that turns all appropriate devices on to desired levels, then define another Link that turns all these same devices off. Then a
program would be defined to Activate the first Link, and another program would be defined to Activate the second Link. In this case, Activating the
second Link turns all devices off because that is how the Link is defined.

Triggers
Triggers are a very powerful component of the Web Mountain Timer. Triggers can be used to turn any UPB device into a delay, or count-down, timer.
Common applications for this capability are bathroom fans, closet lights, driveway lights, secure entry applications and the support of motion
detectors.
In addition to converting UPB devices into delay timers, triggers can be used to suspend and enable scheduled programs. You can use this feature to
set up a UPB button that will turn off scheduled programs and another UPB button that will turn them back on again. One possible use for this
capability would be to use it to turn off all landscape lighting programs during periods when the homeowners are away from home.

How to Program the TIM-01 UPB Timer
GENERAL PROGRAMMING NOTES
1.
Use the MENU button to cycle through all screens (except RUN PROGRAM, SUNRISE SUNSET, CONTRAST, VACATION MODE, PIM MODE,
HOST MODE, LOCK MENU and the 2007 DST/AC SYNCH information screen). To get out of a mode without making any changes, use the
MENU button to cycle back to RUN mode or use the FUNCTION button to return immediately to RUN mode. No changes will be made if the
MENU or FUNCTION buttons are pressed before the ENTER button is selected to save changes.
2.
Use the FUNCTION button to cycle from RUN to RUN PROGRAM to SUNRISE SUNSET to CONTRAST to VACATION MODE to PIM MODE to
HOST MODE to LOCK MENU to 2007 DST/AC SYNCH then back to RUN. To get out of one of these modes without making any changes, use
the FUNCTION button to cycle back to RUN mode or use the MENU button to return immediately to RUN mode. No changes will be made if the
MENU or FUNCTION buttons are pressed before the ENTER button is selected to save changes.
3.
Clicking any button that is not defined in a given mode will result in no changes.
4.
On any screen (except RUN, VACATION MODE, PIM MODE and HOST MODE) if the ENTER button is not clicked within 1 minute, the Timer
will drop out to the RUN screen, and no changes will be saved.
5.
The MENU button is the primary setting button - the FUNCTION button is used only to return to RUN mode, to run programs manually, to see
current sunrise/sunset timers, to change the screen’s contrast, to put the Timer into Vacation, PIM or HOST mode, to lock the MENU button or to
see the status of the 2007 DST and AC SYNCH settings.
6.
If UP/DOWN buttons are held for longer than 1 second, they will scroll the intended function rapidly.
7.
The MENU button will scroll through the various modes in the following order: RUN, SET, DELETE, SET TIME, SET LAT/LONG/ZONE, SET
TRY/NID/EMERGENCY, RUN.
8.
The FUNCTION button will scroll from RUN to RUN PROGRAM to SUNRISE SUNSET to CONTRAST to VACATION MODE to PIM MODE to
HOST MODE to LOCK MENU to 2007 DST/AC SYNCH then back to RUN in that order.
9.
The Timer’s LCD screen is backlit for a period of one minute any time a button is pressed. If no other button is pushed within a one minute
window, the backlight will turn off after one minute. The only exception to this is the PIM MODE screen. If you hit ENTER to put the Timer into
PIM mode, the backlight is extinguished immediately and will not light up again for any button push except for the ENTER button. When the
ENTER button is pushed to take the Timer out of PIM mode, the backlight appears immediately.
10. Programs and triggers can be configured to cause a Link to Blink a UPB device. Extreme care should be taken when using this feature.
Attempting to blink a heavy inductive load could result in tripped circuit breakers and possible damage to the appliance itself. Even defining an
action to cause lights to blink on and off will shorten the life of the lighting element. Please use the Blink feature only where there is a compelling
reason to do so.
