MANUAL
OVERRIDE HOOK UP AND OPERATIONS FOR DIGITAL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Digital timer operates on a single
"N" size cell battery. This
module was designed to use with a 12 or 6-volt DC motor, which, never draws more
than 16-amps. Make sure that motor never draws more than 16 amps. Use
of Velcro is optional!
To connect the battery lead to Battery Screw Terminal board, loosen screws. Make sure you connect POS RED conductor wire to the POS "+" screw and NEG Black Conductor wire to the NEG "-" screw. Connect the wires from the Battery Terminal Board to the POS and NEG post on your battery. Make sure again to connect the POS Red wire to the POS post and the NEG Black to NEG post. CAUTION: Damage to circuit will result if connected improperly. Also, make sure that the battery is well charged; a weak battery can cause the motor to cycle (cut off and on or urn all the time), which may eventually burn the circuit. Keep the battery well charged to avoid damage to the circuit.
MOTOR CONNECTION
Connect the POS RED Motor wire to the Motor Screw "+" Terminal Board and the NEG Black Motor wire to the Motor Screw "-" Terminal Board, which is located next to the Battery Terminal Board on the side of the control unit. Connect the motor wires to your motor making sure you have connected the wires correctly and have slipped the heat shrink over the connection.
CHANGING BATTERY
The clock comes with an "N" cell battery. When the battery is completely discharged the timer will become inoperative. It is recommended the battery be replaced in about 3 years to insure continued operation. NOTE: The time of day and all program information will be deleted when changing the battery since the clock will be without power. Review and write down program data before removing battery. To change the battery, you will need to remove the screws located on the bottom of the unit. Lift top off of the unit. The battery is located on the backside of clock. Carefully pry battery out of its clips. Insert the new battery with the "+" end facing the outer edge of the timer case. Place the top back on the bottom on the bottom and replace the screws removed in step 1. Terminals should always be on the right side of unit.
CLOCK SETTING
Set the time and day of the clock: Depress reset button. Depress and hold clock symbol during time setting procedure. If timer is being used as a 7-day timer, press day key until actual day is visible on display. Press "h+" to set the hour and press "m+" to set the minuets. NOTE: Depressing the "h+" or the "m+" key for more than a second will rapidly advance the digits. Release the clock key when the correct time (and day) is shown in the display. A flashing ": " between the hour and minuets indicates the timer has started.
PROGRAMMING:
Press timer key once (do not keep it depressed). The display should read 1. "ON" and "--:--" for the timer. Press the "h+" and the "m+" to set the "ON" timer you desire. Press the timer key once. The display should read "OFF". Program the "OFF" time for 1 minute later than the "ON" command. This can be repeated up to six programs. Press the clock key to return to the time of day display. If you wish it to go off on a specific day, program in a day key when programming in the timer.
Repeatedly pressing the timer key will cycle through the program using the steps outlined above.
PROGRAM CANCELING
Press the timer key until undesired program is displayed. Press the "h+" and the "m+" to set the hour and the minuets to null "--:--" position. The program has been made ineffective and will no longer be curried out
To cancel all programs, press the reset key. Note: Pressing the reset key will clear the entire memory including time of day and programming.
MANUAL
OVERRIDE
Press the override key to turn the load ON and OFF without affecting the stored programs (temporary override). Be sure to leave the timer in the OFF mode. This key also acts as a test switch.
OPERATIONS
As stated above, the manual override is a
test switch. Press the button and the display will read "ON" and it
will operate the motor. Press the manual override key again to the
"OFF" display so the clock will operate properly.
The variable resistor marked "RUN TIME" allows the operator to set the "ON" time from approximately one to twenty seconds. Turn clockwise for less run time and counter clockwise for more run time. The amount of feed-out is controlled by the run time setting on the controller and the distance of the spinner from the opening of the feed shoot. The operator can adjust the two settings to vary the amount of feed dispersed. A distance of 5/8" is adequate.
