Time Clock

The Timer has a built-in time clock to allow the Timer to
operate the schedules. A battery backup allows the Timer
to keep time for up to 4 hours without power. The Timer
display will revert to the Time Clock display after 60 seconds
of button inactivity. The time clock supports automatic

adjustment for Daylight Saving Time (DST) once the day,
month, and year are entered. Use the Time menu to set the
correct time, day, month, and year if DST is selected.

Setting the Schedule

To provide greater energy savings, you can operate a tN4
Control System on up to four separate programmable
schedules. The schedules are stored in memory and
are not affected by a loss of power to the Timer. A single
thermostat zone, or multiple devices on the tN4 system can
be assigned to follow one of the four schedules this Timer
is capable of operating.

Master Schedule

If the Timer is connected to other tN4 thermostats or system
controls, then the Timer can operate up to four different master
schedules. Master schedules simplify installation since one
master schedule may be used by multiple devices. Schedule
1 corresponds to Master Schedule 1 (MST1), Schedule 2
corresponds to Master Schedule 2 (MST2), and so on up
to Master Schedule 4 (MST4). If more than one schedule
is required on the Timer, make sure switch setting 3 is set
to “4 Schedules” instead of “1 Schedule”. Then, in order to
turn on a Master Schedule, go to the Schedule 1, 2, 3, or
4 menus and set the desired schedule to “On”. Follow the
instructions below to set the schedule.

Schedule Types

The schedule type determines when the schedule repeats
itself. This Timer includes four schedule types:

24 Hour: Repeats every 24 hours.
5-2: Repeats on a weekly basis. However, it breaks the
week into the weekend and weekdays. This reduces the
amount of schedule event settings.

•

5-11: Repeats on a weekly basis. However, it breaks the
week into Saturday and Sunday followed by the weekdays.
This reduces the amount of schedule event settings.
7 Day: Repeats on a weekly basis and allows for separate
event times for each day.

Schedule Mode

The schedule mode can have either 4 or 2 events per day.
An event is a time at which a thermostat changes the set
temperature. The event time can be set to the nearest
10 minutes. If you wish to have the Timer skip the event,
enter “--:--“ as the time. The “--:--“ time is found between
11:50 PM and 12:00 AM. See the table, Schedule Mode,
for more details regarding types of events. To follow a
master schedule:

1. Assign a thermostat to follow one of the Timer’s schedules
by selecting setback on one of the switches, or programming
the heat or cool schedule in the Schedule Menu to Member
(Mbr) 1 to 4. (This is done on the thermostat).
