HOOK-UP AND OPERATIONS FOR ECONO 12-VOLT QUARTZ TIMER MODULE
DESCRIPTION:
This is a 12-volt timer. Powered by a 12-volt battery. The timer can be configured as a 24-hour 7-day timer capable of feeding at 30-minute intervals or 1 time per day. The motor is a DCM 12-volt motor. Uses 4.5 amps maximum at start dropping to 3 running. Operates at 3300 RPM.
OUT PUT:
A solid-state integrated circuit proven in the field for over 25 years.
SETTING
TIME:
Rotate the dial by turning the minute hand clockwise until the time of day on the outer dial is aligned with the triangle maker on the inner dial (two o’clock position). Example for a 24-hour program dial 10:30AM is aligned with the triangle on the inner dial. The hour and the minute dial will show exactly 10:30AM.
PROGRAMMING:
Pushing the captive tripper to the outer ring position will set the timer. You may set tripper for once a day or every 30 minutes. When the tripper is pushed to the inside, the switch is in the off position.
BATTERY
CONNECTION:
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.
MOTOR
CONNECTION:
Connect "POS."
red motor wire to Motor screw "+"
Terminal Board and "NEG"
black motor wire to "-"
Terminal Board, which is located next to Battery Terminal Board on side of the
control unit.
OPERATIONS:
· The PRESS TO TEST switch operates the motor. As a safety feature, test switch will not function until clock face has passed trippers. This takes about one hour. It takes 21 seconds for capacitor to recharge. PRESS TO TEST can operate every 21 seconds at other times.
·
The variable resistor marked RUN TIME on controller will allow the "ON" time to range
from approximately one to twenty seconds. Turning it counter clockwise will
produce more run time
The amount of feed-out is controlled by the
run time setting on controller and distance of spinner from feed shoot. The
operator can adjust the two settings to vary the amount of feed dispersed. A
distance of about 5/8" is adequate.
SOLAR PANEL:
If you wish to connect a solar panel to your
feeder do the following, loosen the Binding Posts and connect the solar panel
lead wires spade terminals to the Pos. and Neg. Binding Posts.
Make sure you that you have connected them to correct posts.
Retighten the binding posts. If
you do not use a solar panel your battery will need to be charged.
