represents when the testing start will begin.
2. Press the DAY button to select the program day period.
There are 15 possible choices to choose from, which can
be selected by repeatedly pressing the DAY button. The 15
possible selections are:
1. Mo. to Su
6. Fr.
11. Mo. to Sa.
2. Mo.
7. Sa.
12. Mo. to We.
3. Tu.
8. Su.
13. Th. to Sa.
4. We.
9. Mo. to Fr.

5. Th.
10. Sa. to Su.
15. Tu., Th., Sa.
3. Press the HOUR button to set the hour.
4. Press the MIN button to set the minute.
5. After setting the above testing start time, press the TIMER
button. After the TIMER button is pressed, the “1OFF” will
appear at the left side of the display. Selection must match
the “1ON” setting. The “1OFF” represents when the testing
will end.
6. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 to set the time when the system test
is to end.
7. Press the CLOCK button to start the exerciser clock.
NOTE: Unused ON and OFF times must have dashes, not

ON/AUTO/OFF Mode
1. The ON/AUTO/OFF mode may be selected by pressing the
manual button.
2. When the ON mode is selected, the transfer switch will go
directly to the test mode. The test mode will stay active until
the ON mode is not selected.
3. When the AUTO mode is selected, the timer will monitor
the user-settable program times. The transfer switch will be
tested using the programmed start and end times.
NOTE: Go to the OFF mode first, and then back to the
AUTO mode when coming from the ON mode. The
generator will continue to run if AUTO is selected
directly from Run.
4. When the OFF mode is selected, the timer will not monitor
any user-settable program times. The exerciser will not signal
to start the generator when it is in the OFF mode.
When the transfer switch is not connected to an energized
utility source, the exerciser timer will use an internal battery
for memory storage. With the exerciser in the OFF position,
very little current draw is required. With the exerciser in the ON
position, a larger current draw is required. With the exerciser in
the AUTO position, very little current draw is required when the
program is not initiated. See
Table 8
for internal battery current
draw:
Table 8:
Exerciser Position
Current Draw
ON
80 uA/hour
OFF
5 uA/hour
AUTO (program not initiated)
5 uA/hour
AUTO (program initiated)
80 uA/hour
The internal battery current draw would not be applicable when an
energized utility source is supplying power to the switch.
