Startup

Apply power to the controller.

[`idle] will appear on the display.

If the Real-time Clock Display option is installed and [Setup] / [Cloc`] is set to
[``yes], the time of day will appear on the display.

Run a Timer

1.

With [`idle] on the display, press the key for the timer that you want to run. If a
timer is currently running you may activate another timer by pressing the key for
that timer. Any combination of timers may be running simultaneously. When the
controller is running multiple timers the timer with shortest countdown time will be
displayed.

2.

When a timer has completed [``end] will appear on the display, the timer key indi-
cator light will flash rapidly, and an alarm will sound until the timer key is pressed
to acknowledge and shut off that timer.

3.

To run another timer repeat steps 1 and 2.

Note: The controller will not respond if you select an invalid timer (one for which Time 1 is set to 0).

Cancel a Timer

Canceling a timer stops that timer only. The other running timers will continue to run.

• Press the active timer key for 2 seconds.

Restart Timer

Press the key(s) for the timer(s) you want to run at any time.

Errors

The controller will alert you to errors if they occur. Errors are critical problems that
shut down the unit. If an error occurs, an error message will appear on the display. You
should switch off the power and call for service.

See the Appendix in the Hardware & Software Setup Guide for a summary of errors.
