A total of 20 set points are provided allowing up to 140 operations
each week (20 set points X 7 days = 140 operations ). Repeat this
procedure for as many of the 20 set points as required. Attempts
to enter additional set points (beyond 20) will cause “F:UL” to
appear in the display.
TO OVERRIDE PROGRAM: Program can be overridden at any
time by selecting the MANUAL position. Program set points will be
maintained but will not operate the controlled load(s)
automatically.
TO REVIEW PROGRAM SET POINTS: Place the three position
selector in the PROGRAM mode. Place the two position selector
in OUTPUT mode. The display will show all zeros if there are no
set points programmed or will show the first programmed set
point and a programmed time with an ON or OFF depending on
whether the time which appears is an ON set point or an OFF set
point. Pressing the ENTER button will advance the display to the
next set point in chronological order. In other words, the next set
point on Sunday or the set point on Monday (day 2) will appear.
Pressing the ENTER button after the last set point has been
displayed will cause ‘E:nd” to appear in the display. Further
operation of the ENTER button will repeat the review cycle.
TO ADD OR DELETE SET POINTS: Press the HOUR and/or
MINUTE buttons to change the time displayed to show the new
time you wish to add, then press the ENTER pushbutton. To
remove a programmed time, press the ON/OFF button two
times. when this is done, the set point displayed will be removed
and the display will show all dashes.
To Operate Timer
After programming is complete, move the selector switches to
the CLK and AUTO positions. The time switch will follow the
scheduled program but will not immediately “catch up” to the
presently programmed load condition; the time switch will “catch
up” at the next scheduled ON or OFF setpoint. If necessary,
press the ON/OFF button to turn the load on or off.

General Safety Information
WARNING: Disconnect all power before installing or servicing this time
switch or its connected loads.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, National Electric Code
(NEC), as well as Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
2. If the power disconnect point is out of sight, lock it in the “OFF”
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
3. This time switch case must be grounded.
4. Do not exceed the maximum current carrying capacity of this
time switch.
5. Always replace the plastic insulator covering the terminal before
turning power “ON”.
Description
The Intermatic Electronic 7-Day Time Switch automatically
switches loads according to a preset weekly schedule with to-the-
minute accuracy. This time switch is designed to directly switch
inductive or resistive loads up to 30 amps at 24, 120 or 240 volts
and to switch tungsten or ballast loads up to the time switch rating.
For use as a control timer in applications requiring 7-day load
control such as lighting, heating, air conditioning systems, pumps,
etcetera. Up to 20 (10 ON/10 OFF or any combination) set points
(EVENTS) can be preset. These set points can be programmed for
any or all 7 days to provide for up to 140 set points each week.
Independent 7 day programming provides complete flexibility for
applications where load switching differs each day of the week.
The program can be overridden by selecting the MANUAL position.
