INSTALLATION NOTE: Before installation, determine the correct voltage rating required for the particular clock model. The Clock may be installed using special ceiling mounting kit or on a wall as per attached installation drawing and instructions. Models for use as desk top should be plugged into the power line outlet using the attached power cord extending from the back side.
IR Remote Control SELENA All operation and settings are accomplished by means of the Remote Control. The dedicated Remote Control is recommended, however most RCA TV compatible remotes will function properly. Use the reference list and drawing below to determine the function of the keys used to operate the clock. List of REMOTE CONTROL keys MUTE TALK...

Fn 85 DATE / TEXT , ZONE TEXT and other text formats display ENABLE Fn 86 TIME ZONE / Customer TEXT DISPLAY preset ENABLE ( see Fn 80 ) Fn 87 UP Timer/Stopwatch with a PRESET value. When enabled, will cause the timer to count up from 00:00:00 and stop at the preset value.
CLOCK SETUP After the clock has been powered down for longer than 2 weeks the time keeping system may have to be preset to the current time and date. NOTE: If a 10 Year Lithium Battery Backup option is installed, the clock will preserve the correct timekeeping for up to appx. 10 year period.
All three Time Formats are available on all SELENA clocks. 12 and 24 hour format Function Fn 8 can be used to select between the Military Time format To select the , enable the function Fn 45. AM or PM To select the display of text indicator in the 6-digit clock, enable the functions Fn 8 and Fn 85.
NOTE, that the clock programming mode DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ACTIVATED to program the ZONE TEXT. Press the SET key to initiate the ZONE TEXT Preset Mode. The left-most character in the Text display section will begin to flash. NOTE, that if the character has been previously set as “...
UP/DOWN STOPWATCH TIMER and EVENT COUNTER SELENA can be used to function as a presettable UP/DOWN STOPWATCH TIMER AND EVENT COUNTER with an Alarm Buzzer and Internal Relay Control. To enable the UP/DOWN STOPWATCH TIMER mode, make sure that the function Fn 39 is ENABLED. For the Up/Down Event Counter mode, the function Fn 31 MUST also be enabled.
To START the COUNT-UP STOPWATCH TIMER or COUNTER with 00:00 preset: NOTE: When Fn 87 is NOT enabled and the TIMER PRESET is 00:00(.00), the Timer will operate in the COUNT-UP mode. Press STRT key at any time during normal clock operation. In the Event Counter mode, press the UP key. The preset 00:00.00 time will be automatically loaded in and the Timer will begin the Count Up.

AUTORESTART for UP TIMER / STOPWATCH ( Optional Feature ) This function may be used only when the external inputs for Start, Stop, Reset are installed ( Optional Feature ). Enable the functions Fn 36 and Fn 57. NOTE: The 1/100 second resolution mode may also be activated by enabling the function Fn 35 if the display has 6 digits. In the Autorestart mode, the timer will start counting UP when the START input is activated and will automatically STOP and RESTART each time the START input is reactivated.
EXTERNAL START/STOP/RESET INPUTS FOR UP/DOWN TIMER/STOPWATCH and EVENT COUNTER ( Optional Feature ) The SELENA timers and event counters may be set up to use external inputs for Start, Stop (count UP, count Down) and Reset. These inputs are available via the screw terminal block accessible at the back panel ( if installed ). To activate the External Inputs for the Up/Down Timer/Stopwatch or Event Counter, enable the function Fn 36.

PROGRAMMABLE MULTI-EVENT TIMER ( Optional Feature ) Programmable event timer modes allow for presetting of time instances (hours and minutes of the day for each day of the week) at which the internal buzzer and/or relay may be activated in order to control the operation of some external devices and/or sounding an Alarm.
seconds. To DISABLE the EVENT TIMER operation: disable the corresponding Timer function Fn 48 (see FUNCTION SETUP Procedure section). All previously preset alarm data will be retained in the memory unaffected. For instructions on how to connect to the Internal Alarm Relay see section: “CONTROL RELAY Wiring“. INTERNAL CONTROL RELAY ( Optional Feature ) The Presettable Timer/Counter operation, Programmable Thermostat and Temperature HIGH/LOW ALARM can activate the internal Control Relays that can be used to switch external loads up to 10Amp/240VAC.
The Internal Relay can be controlled by the Count Up or Down Timer/Counter ONLY when the Function Fn 37 is ENABLED. Two modes of the Internal Relay control are possible depending upon the setting of the Function Fn 18. When Fn 18 is Enabled, the Internal relay will be switched OFF in response to the Count Up or Down Timer/Counter Expiry (ALARM) or when the Timer/Counter is not running.

NOTE 1: In the Programmable Multi-Event Timer modes, the Buzzer will sound and /or the internal relay will be energized for as long as it is programmed to do so. NOTE 2: In the “Cycling” Timer modes the Buzzer will sound and /or the internal relay will be energized for a period as selected by enabling/disabling the functions: Fn17, Fn18, Fn28, Fn37, Fn49 and Fn87.
MASTER - SLAVE SYNCHRONIZED SYSTEM CLOCK NETWORK A group of SELENA clocks may be installed as SLAVES in a Synchronized Master - Slave System utilizing one of the following methods of communication: Power Line Carrier System with Synchronizing signal carried by Power Line that is also supplying power for the clock.
2-WIRE ( twisted pair ) Sync System Large System Clock installations may be synchronized by linking them together in a communication network using a “Twisted Pair“ 2-conductor cable. Slave Clocks receive data transmitted by the Master Clock ( SELENA or other ) or a PC and interpret it to synchronize themselves with the Master.

MINUTE IMPULSE Sync System for 2-wire, 3-wire and Reverse Polarity 1 Minute and 1/2 Minute Impulse The 24VDC MINUTE IMPULSE Synchronization slave mode may be activated by enabling the Function Fn 47. SELENA clocks will respond to Minute Pulses within the range of +/- 7 to 30 VDC presented at the appropriate inputs. The current load requirement on Line A and Line B inputs are very low and are equivalent to an Input Resistance of 10 Kohm per input.
Multi-zone Clock System The Master Clock and each of the Slave Clocks in the Multi-zone configuration have to be setup separately with the zone time and date. Each Zone can be setup to any time and/or date. The Synch signal is transmitted by the master once per minute on the 34th second of each minute, so the zones time can be setup to differ even by as little as 1 minute from the Master Clock or from each other.
TEMPERATURE MONITORING and CONTROL with ALARM The clock is capable of monitoring and controlling the temperature sensed by the external and/or internal probe (use function Fn 27 to select the controlling probe) . The probe(s) can be located at a significant distance away. The system also stores the Minimum and Maximum Temperature readings that can be displayed ON DEMAND via the remote.
MIN / MAX TEMPERATURE MEMORY This option may be activated by enabling the function Fn 20. External (or Internal) temperature Maximum and Minimum readings are saved in the internal memory that can be recalled for display via the remote at any time. To read the MAXIMUM recorded Temperature press the UP key.

Note, that both probes may be connected to the external terminal block and may be wired up to 500 feet ( 150 m ) away from the display, using any kind of a 2-conductor cable. Optionally, a model may be ordered with one probe installed in the wall of the display enclosure.

IMPORTANT NOTES A) In both, the “AUTO” and the “MANU” modes: In order to ensure proper operation of COOLING and HEATING, the Auto Switch-Over limits must be programmed. This is done by programming the presets for SUNDAY Events 30 and 31 . Programming of those events must be performed in the “AUTO”...

generated by the display and the electronics. Therefore, wiring a probe externally, if possible, in an area in which the temperature is to be controlled, is preferred. Also, if an internal probe is installed in the enclosure, then pulling the probe further out of its shield may lessen its sensitivity to the heat generated inside the display enclosure.
