2. If ON indicator light switches on and off, but load stays off, check connections
and wiring to load. Make sure supply voltage is provided to output relay common termi
nals (10 and/or 13) as shown in diagrams below..
3. If ON indicator does not switch on and off power may be out. Check power supply
to timer and load. If power is on remove batteries. If light still does not operate,
return for servicing.
1. If wrong, set correct time. If correct, review set points (Switching times.) See*
2. Review set points. If set points are correct, return for servicing.
1. Check power supply. If power supply is OK, check batteries. Try removing batteries.
Discharged or faulty batteries may drain unit of power even with power on. Check
polarity and seating;. Let stand 10 minutes or more with the power on to charge
batteries. Reset timer. RESET clears the stored program and sets the clock to Sun.

and hold for two seconds. While pressing: ON indicator light will be lit and display
will show a colon. When released, display should show 1˙10:00. If unit does not
clear properly try resetting with batteries removed and timer power on. Check
battery voltage, defective cells will measure less than .2 volt. If unit does not clear
properly, return for servicing. Make sure timer power connection are appropriate for
supply voltage. See diagrams below.
1. a. Change to quieter line.
b. Put in line filter or isolation transformer.
c. Check for good grounds.
1. Correct fault.
2. Return for repair.
1a. Use surge suppressors.
b. Use isolation relay.
2a. Use surge suppressors on contacts elsewhere.
b. Use RFI line Filter.
c. Use isolation relay.
1. Unclip battery connection from timer, check battery pack voltage. Pack should
measure approx. 5 volts or 1.25 volts per cell. Replace defective cell(s). It is best to
replacle all 4 cells.
2. Check for battery seating and connections.
