Problem Solution(s)
Load Switches • Using the REV function, check program times
at Incorrect against the times you entered in the chart.
Time • Review SETUP to see if the timer is following
a holiday schedule. Holiday dates and sched-
ules from the prior year do not automatically
clear or adjust. They must be manually revised
or removed annually.
• When using pulse or interval "On" program-
ming, the load will switch On at the scheduled
time and Off at that time, plus the pulse or
interval duration. For "Off" pulses or intervals
the load will switch Off at the scheduled time,
and On at that time plus the pulse or interval
duration, even if the load was not On before
the start of the "Off" pulse or interval.
• This timer provides an automatic 15 sec. delay
between successive circuits when programmed
to switch at the same On time. Use the Inter-
val or Pulse features to eliminate if required.
Note: ASTRO switching times change daily
according to changing Sunrise and Sunset
Consider fixed times with this in mind, e.g. a
fixed Off intended to end an Astro On would
be ignored if sunset moves beyond the fixed
Off time. The fixed event should be scheduled
to occur outside the range of the Astro event,
or an Astro Pulse should be considered.
Note: Override intervals are not ended by
scheduled events; they can only be ended by
timing out, power interruptions, or by pressing
the ON/OFF key.
Timer Ignores • Processor is "locked up". Press and release
Pushbuttons RESET button while holding down the
CLEAR button. Release CLEAR when "reset"
appears in display. If no improvement, remove
and restore AC power and battery, then re-try.

Problem Solution(s)
Difficulty in • The two most common mistakes are forgetting
Programming to press AM or PM after each time entry and
forgetting to select a load with the Enable
switch. You cannot program switch times
(PROGRAM) unless you select a load using the
Enable switches. Pressing the HELP key
when an error (ERR--) message appears will
explain the error and may offer
recommended action.
Interval • An interval duration needs to have been
Override previously programmed (check by pressing
Won't Start INTVL key in SET UP mode) and the circuit
must be Enabled.
Interval • The remote switch only starts the interval
Override Won't override. Operating it again restarts the
Stop with interval.
Remote Switch
Interval • Actual duration is the programmed duration ±
Override 30 seconds.
Duration Varies
Switch On/ • After any Pulse or Interval entry, the Switch
Off Display On or Switch Off LED does not alternate,
Doesn't since most Pulse or Interval applications
Alternate require only On or Off. Press OK without a
During time entry to alternate the Switch On/Off
Programming display if required.
Some • All review should be done with only one circuit
Switching enabled at a time. If more than one is enabled,
Times Don't only events common to the circuits selected
Show During will show during review. To see all possible
Review scheduled events, the week long review should
be used.
