INSTALLATION
1. Select knockouts to be used. Remove the inner (1/2")
knockout by inserting a screwdriver in the slot and carefully
punch knockout loose. Remove slug. If the 3/4" knockout is
required, remove the outer ring with pliers after removing the
1/2" knockout. Smooth edges with a knife if necessary.
2. Place enclosure in desired mounting location and mark the
three mounting holes.
3. Drill holes for #10 screws, start screws in holes.
4. Place enclosure over screws and tighten screws.
5. Connect conduit hubs to conduit before connecting the
hubs to the enclosure. After inserting hubs into enclosure,
carefully tighten hub lock nut. Do not over-torque.
6. Wire in accordance with National and Local Codes.
GROUNDING: This enclosure is of plastic construction and
does not require a ground connection and does not require
bonding in pool applications.
This enclosure does not provide grounding between conduits.
When using non-metallic conduit or cable, connect the ground
wires of all cables together with a twist on wire connector.
When metallic conduit is used, use grounding type bushings
and a jumper wire between each conduit.
Programming Instructions
SETTING THE TIME: TO SET THE CURRENT TIME
(AND DAY OF WEEK ON 7 DAY UNITS), TURN THE
MINUTE HAND CLOCKWISE. DO NOT SET THE TIME BY
ROTATING "OUTER" DIAL.
PROGRAMMING: The 24 hour model has trippers of 15
minute increments, and a AM/PM indication on the outer dial.
The 7 day model has trippers of 2 hour increments, and the
outer dial shows the 7 days of the week and AM/PM for each
day. Push the captive trippers outward for the time period(s) that
the load is to be on (Normally open contacts closed).
Manual Override: With the manual switch in the middle
position, the time switch is in automatic mode and will switch
at the programmed times. In the upper position "I", the load
is permanently ON. In the lower position, "O", the load is
permanently OFF.
BATTERY POWERED RESERVE (Quartz Models): In case
of power failure, the built-in nickel-cadmium battery maintains
the time of day for a minimum of 7 days.
