Terminal Block

USE COPPER WIRES ONLY”  
Tightening torque 15 in-lb.

The following example shows the  

clock set to 2:30 PM:
Turn the outer dial clockwise 

until the inner clock hands 

point to the correct time. 

Each tick mark on the outer  

dial represents 15 minutes. 
The inner dial is representative  

of conventional clock, with the  

printed “hand” showing the hour  

and the physical hand showing the  

minute. The time displayed on the inner dial will always 

correspond with the time on the outer dial.

To Set the Current Time

Decide the amount of defrost time  

necessary for your environment  

and the hours which you want  

defrost to occur. Next, set the  

switches for each 15 minute  

interval of defrost you require 

 by moving the switch to the  

outer position. 
Each switch represents a 15  

minute interval of defrost and  

there are 4 intervals per hour.
In this example, the system will begin one defrost cycle at 

the 5:00 PM, which will last for 45 minutes (3 intervals). The 

unit will resume normal operation at 5:45 PM.
If multiple defrost cycles are required, please select the 

appropriate dipswitches to represent each 15 minute interval 

throughout the 24 hour period where defrost is desired.
