2) Some 
programs are 
not operating 
correctly, but 
others are. 

You may have 
suspended a program or 
set it up to be skipped.  
Use the SET screen to 
see the definition of the 
program that is not 
working.  If there is a 
small s or small n next to 
the program number, the 
program has been 
suspended (s) or skipped 
(n). 

If you already have a trigger set up to 
enable the program in question, use the 
RUNPROG screen to run that trigger.  If 
you do not have a trigger set up to enable 
the program, use the SET screen to define 
a trigger to enable the program, then use 
the RUNPROG screen to run that trigger. 

The time and/or 
date are 
incorrect after 
you lose power. 

The power was off for a 
long time or the internal 
battery is getting weak. 

The internal battery should keep the time 
and date accurate for four or more hours of 
power outage.  If the power is out longer, 
it’s possible that the battery will not be able 
to keep accurate time.  If the unit is old or 
has seen lots of power outages, it’s 
possible that the internal battery has failed.  
The internal battery is not replaceable. 

After losing 
power the 
Timer’s settings 
are gone or 
wrong. 

All settings are kept in 
non-volatile memory, so 
power outages should 
not affect them. 

If the unit is under warranty, please refer to 
the Support section for information on a 
replacement. 

The Timer is 
not compen-
sating for 
Daylight Saving 
Time or it 
compensates at 
the wrong time. 

You may not have 
selected the Daylight 
Saving time option, or 
the Timer might be set to 
the wrong DST 
algorithm. 

Go to the SETTIM screen and make sure 
you see DSTY if you want the Timer to 
automatically change for Daylight Saving 
Time.  Go to the 2007 DST screen to verify 
that the Timer is using the 2007 law.  If the 
timer is not using the 2007 law, use the 
instructions in the Reset section to enable 
this feature. 

Immediate Run 
buttons don’t 
do anything. 

Either you haven’t 
defined programs P01 
through P04, or the 
Timer is set to the PANIC 
style of Emergency 
mode. 

Use the SET screen to setup programs P01 
through P04.  Go to the TRY/NID screen 
and make sure you’ve selected either 
NONE or ENTER to ensure that the 
Immediate Run buttons are active.  

Emergency 
buttons don’t 
work 

You haven’t defined the 
emergency Link properly 
or the Timer is set to the 
NONE style of 
Emergency mode. 

Use your UPB set up tool to make sure 
you’ve defined an emergency Link and that 
it works as defined.  Go to the TRY/NID 
screen and select either ENTER or PANIC 
and make sure the Link shown there is the 
same one you set up to be the emergency 
Link. 

When I use the 
Immediate Run 
buttons or the 
Emergency 
button to turn 
something on 
and then back 
off, the lights 
keep turning on 
and off for 
another minute 
or so 

You probably have the 
TRY value set to 2, 3 or 
4.  If you turn a light on 
with an Immediate Run 
button, then turn it off a 
few seconds later with 
another Immediate Run 
button, the Timer will Try 
each action again 13 
seconds later, thereby 
cycling the light on and 
off. 

Use the TRY/NID screen to change the 
number of TRYs to 1. 

The Timer 
gains or loses 
time. 

If the gain or loss is less 
than 2 seconds per day, 
this is within the 
tolerance of the Timer.  
Most digital quartz time 
keeping devices have 
accuracy rates of 
99.998% or better, the 
same as the TIM-01 
Timer. 

Make sure that the AC synchronization 
feature is turned on for better accuracy.  
Check the 2007 DST screen to see its 
status.  If it is not turned on, use the 
instructions in the Reset section to enable 
it.  If your Timer is gaining or losing more 
than 2 seconds per day even with the AC 
synchronization turned on and your Timer 
is under warranty, please refer to the 
Support section for information on a 
replacement.
