Initial Setup

The following sections provide instructions for the initial setup of the time switch.

The time switch operational modes enable users to control multiple loads simultaneously (SIM), independently (IND), or with a
2-second pulse (PUL). In PUL mode an ON event or manual override causes the first circuit to turn ON for two seconds, then OFF. An OFF
event or manual override causes the second circuit to turn ON for two seconds, then OFF. Loads 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 can be set to differ-
ent operational modes.
