•
See the cursor blinking on the ‘R’ of RUN in the Schedule Mode field. Pressing
the Up or Down buttons will scroll through RUN, OFF, VAC (vacation mode)
and ALT (alternate vacation mode).
•
If necessary move the cursor with the Right (or Left) button to the Schedule Mode field and use the Up and
Down buttons to select RUN mode. This will ensure that the scheduler is ON and will process normal runtime
‘Run’ (R) events.
•
Move the cursor with the Right (or Left) button to the Date field, then use the Up or Down buttons to set
today’s date; month / day / year format.
•
Move the cursor with the Right (or Left) button to the Day of the Week field and use the Up or Down buttons
to set the day of the week.
•
Find an accurate clock (e.g. cell phone, time referenced on a TV station or go to
www.time.gov
) and read the
time. Next move the cursor with the Right (or Left) button to the time field. Use the Up and Down buttons
enter the current time, hours then minutes, and AM or PM.
•
Press the Enter
button to save the time, date, day, and schedule mode. The scheduler’s clock will start at
the new time. You are done setting the time on your Scheduler-Timer.
Helpful Hint: Pressing the Enter
button saves the changes made. Pressing Menu button will exit back to the
Menu without saving changes.
Helpful Hint: Pressing the Enter
button to save the time restarts the scheduler’s clock at the new time. The
display will show the Idle screen and the time you set. You’ll see the seconds accumulating from 00 through 59.
To set and start the scheduler’s time most accurately, using your clock source (e.g. cell phone) set the time on the
scheduler 1 minute ahead of the time on your clock source. Then when the minute changes on the clock source,
press Enter
on
the scheduler. You should be able to set the time of the scheduler within a few seconds of the
clock source.
Helpful Hint: When Set Time is selected from the menu, the cursor appears in the Schedule Mode field. This was
intentional as it makes changing from RUN to VAC (vacation) quick and easy. Far easier than walking the house
to plug in and set individual timers. To change Schedule Mode from RUN to VAC (vacation) simply press:
•
Menu
•
Down (to Set Time), then Enter
•
Down (to VAC), then Enter
