Setting the event time:

Enter event setup command: 88

Enter 3-digit event number: 001 - 128

- Set event time: 2

Step 1. Enter the two-digit hour (military time, midnight is '00')

Step 2. Enter the two-digit minute

Step 3. Enter the two-digit month

Step 4. Enter the two-digit date

Step 5. Enter the two-digit year (To repeat an event every year, enter 00 in step 5).

Step 6. Enter the two-digit period. Here you can choose whether an event runs only once or if it

re-occurs on a schedule that you will set.

- Enter '00' if the event is non-periodic, i.e., it occurs only once. If the event is non-periodic, you

have just created a one-shot event as described in mode #1 above. You are now done with the

time and date part of this event’s setup and the Sicon will beep twice. You can now go to the

‘Setting the action’ section below.

Step 7. If an event will re-occur periodically, you must tell the Sicon-8 how often the event will

happen. This consists of two parts: Entering the period and setting the period’s units

(minutes, hours, days, etc.).

- If the event occurs every day, for instance, enter '01'.

Note: this value cannot exceed 60.

Step 8 If the period is non-zero, enter the units that the period is measured in:

- minutes: 0

- hours: 1

- days: 2

- months: 3

Step 9a. If period is non-zero, enter the two-digit duration: Duration is how long the event will be

active. For instance, something that occurs every day for a month will have a duration of

either 30 days or 1 month.

- Enter '00' if the event does not expire. The Sicon-8 will beep twice indicating that you are

done with this event’s setup.

Step 9b. If you did not enter a 00 duration

- If the event should expire in 1 months, enter '12. Note: this value cannot exceed 60.

Step 10. If period is non-zero AND duration is non-zero, enter the units that the duration is measured

in:

- minutes: 0

- hours: 1

- days: 2

- months: 3

So, the partial sequence for an event that occurs daily for a month is

01 (beep) 2 (beep) 01 (beep) 3 (beep) (beep)

(one - Day) (1 - Month)

: 0 = minutes, 1 = Hours, 2 = days, 3 = months. See appendix for setup chart.
