HOOK UP AND OPERATIONS FOR A ECONO DIGITAL MODEL
DESCRIPTION:
This is a solid state integrated circuit control unit, which uses a
24-hour digital timer that, is capable of feeding one or more times per day. The motor
unit operates on a 12-volt gel cell rechargeable battery. The digital timer operates on a
single "N" size cell battery.
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. Keep the
battery well charged to avoid damage to the circuit.
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.
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 each year 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 two screws located on
each side and near the bottom of the unit. Lift top 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 two screws removed in
step 1. Terminals should always be on the right side of unit.
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
To use as a 24-hour timer, simply ignore the day key when programming timer. 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 than the "ON" command. This can be repeated up to six programs. Press the clock key to return to the time of day display.
Repeatedly pressing the timer key will cycle
through the program using the steps outlined above.
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.
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.
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.
