PROGRAMMING THE CONTROLLER

Erase Any Existing Programming

DIAGRAM 5
After you finish filling out the Programming Chart, you are
ready to begin programming the controller.
When you program the controller for the first time, it is a good
idea to use the Program Erase feature to erase any existing
programming which may be in the controller’s memory. You
may also use Program Erase any time you want to erase all
programming and “start from scratch.”
1. Remove the controller’s lower access cover.
2. Locate the small recessed compartment on the right side of
the controller’s front panel. To erase all programming, reach
into this compartment with a small flathead screwdriver and
momentarily connect the two small silver contacts in the
bottom of the recess.
3. When the display goes blank, remove the screwdriver
from the contacts. The time “AM 12:00”(00:00 in 230V
versions) will blink in the display. All previous
programming is now erased, and you may turn the
programming dial to the DATE/TIME position and begin
setting the Year, Month, Day, and Time.

Set Year
