Notes on Setting On/Off Times for Each Mode
General Note
The ON/OFF buttons were provided for service operations, and for circumstances where
instantaneous response is required. If the intent is to turn equipment on and off everyday at
the same time, programming individual events will make sure these functions take place.
All circuits will respond to a programmed off time. Therefore, when a circuit is turned on with
the ON/OFF button, it automatically turns itself off at the end of the next programmed event.
If there are no events programmed, the circuit stays on until the ON/OFF button is pressed
again.
If the ON/OFF button is pressed while the corresponding circuit is on, it turns the circuit
off and supersedes any program in progress. The priority is always given to the last manual
operation.
Mode 1 — (Aux1, Aux2, Aux3)
All three of the available circuits act independently, and up to three individual on/off times can
be set for each circuit independently.
Mode 2 — (Pump High, Pump Low, Aux 3)
In this mode circuits 1 & 2 are connect to a two speed pump, and Aux 3 is connected
independent of circuits 1 & 2. In the event that you program high and low speed to be on at the
same time or if their independent ON times overlap, high speed will always take precedence.
Example: Low speed is programmed to come ON at noon and run until 6 PM. High speed is
programmed to come on at 2 PM and turn off at 4 PM. In this case the pump will come ON
at noon in low speed, go to high speed at 2 PM, and back to low speed at 4 PM, and shut off
at 6 PM.
All manual ON operations for circuits 1 & 2 override all programmed ON times. Therefore, any
desired low and high-speed run combinations need to be programmed as separate events and
cannot controlled by combining the manual ON/OFF button with a scheduled event. The last
speed started manually has priority over all prior automatic and manual operations.
Example: You would like to run the pump in high speed for 6 hours and low speed for the
remainder of the time. Program a 6-hour event for high speed, and an 18-hour event for low
speed. Do not turn the low speed on manually, and program a 6-hour event for high speed.
The high speed will not occur.
Mode 3 — (Filter Pump, Aux2, Cleaner Pump)
The cleaner pump cannot turn on unless the lter pump has been on for at least 30 seconds.
Therefore, for any ON/OFF time programmed for the cleaner pump, the lter pump will come on
rst, followed 30 seconds later by the cleaner pump. Both the cleaner and lter pump will turn
off according to the programmed off time. When programming an event for the cleaner pump, it
is not necessary to program a separate event for the lter pump, as it will automatically turn on
when the cleaner pump turns on at its next scheduled on time.
