Electrical - Paragon EL78 General Instructions Manual

• 10 Single Day Holidays - (e.g. July 4th)
• 10 Day of Month Type Holidays - (e.g. last Monday in May)
• 10 Holiday Durations - Programmable from 1 to 366 days (e.g. June 9th to August 27th)
• 6 Specific Holidays - Each holiday can be optionally selected
Good Friday
Boxing Day
• 3 Holiday Schedules - Each of these 36 holidays can be assigned to one of three holiday
schedules (A,B or C). For example if July 4th is assigned to holiday schedule A, then on July
4th only those events and sensor events containing holiday A in their day fields will be executed.
• Keyboard Override - Toggles the current output state; begins immediately when initiated and
remains in effect until overridden again or until the next programmed event occurs.
• Astro - Optional Astro feature assignable to any combination of channels. Astro will automati-
cally keep track of the changing sunrise and sunset times throughout the year without the
need of a photocell. The Astro feature will keep assigned output(s) off during daylight hours.
• Selectable Clock Format - 12 hour (am/pm) or 24 hour clock format
• Stagger Up - Optional stagger up time between channels, after a power outage; selectable
from 5 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes
• Momentary - The EL78 will normally be configured as maintained. The momentary option is
intended for use with latching relays. An EL78 configured as momentary will only have 4
channels. Relays 1, 3, 5, and 7 will provide a one second ON pulse for channels 1, 2, 3, and
4 respectively. Relays 2, 4, 6, and 8 will provide a one second OFF pulse for channels 1, 2, 3,
and 4 respectively.See example 2 on page 16 for more details.
• Computer Interface - The controls can be programmed and reviewed by a local personal
computer using Pecosoft.EL software (sold separately).

Electrical:

1. Power Requirements -
Input Voltage 24, 120, 208, 240 or 277 Vac, 50/60 Hz
2. Outputs - Eight SPDT relays with contacts rated as follows:
Normally Open Contacts: 20 amp resistive or inductive at 120-277 Vac
Normally Closed Contacts: 10 amp resistive or inductive at 120-277 Vac
3. Wiring - Relay contact terminals can accommodate 10-16 AWG
- Power input terminals can accommodate 12-18 AWG
- Sensor/override input terminals can accommodate 18-22 AWG
4. Power Outage Carryover - The program and time of day are maintained during a power
outage for a minimum of 2 days by means of a capacitor. After two days, a lithium battery
takes over and provides a minimum accumulated carryover of 1 year. The lithium battery
should provide over 10 years of carryover protection.
