GENERAL INFORMATION 
The timing capacity is 100 hours to 1 second. The unit may be set to count 
down and alarm, or count up and alarm. A “thru-zero” feature counts to the 
programmed time, alarms, and counts up. A memory function recalls the last 
programmed time. An audible alarm sounds for one minute when a 
programmed time is reached. A visual alarm flashes constantly until 
manually turned off. A timeout feature allows the timer to be stopped for “off” 
periods and restarted. The clock mode displays time-of-day to the second, 
has a time-of-day alarm, and sounds an hourly signal.
