Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected
days of the week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers
that can be used to control various devices, such as lights or
appliances. Your installer will have programmed the appropriate
devices into the system (up to 32 devices can be programmed).
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number)
that you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch
lights on at 7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn
on the air conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises
before you arrive at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are
retiring for the night. If desired, different timers can control the same
device. For example, timer 2 could be used Monday-Friday as in the
previous example, and timer 3 could be set to turn the air conditioner
on and off at different times Saturday and Sunday.
To enter the device timer menu mode:
Enter your security code, then press the # key followed by 83.
