7.0 SKIP DAY MODE
The Skip Day programming allows events to be
repeated for a certain number of days, and then
skipped for a number of days. Both active and skip
periods are set by the user from 1 to 31 days. The
timer will follow the programmed 24 hour schedule
during each day of the active period.
Example: A generator may have an active schedule
for 1 day and then skip 29 days to allow operation
once a month for testing purposes. On the one active
day, a 10 minute schedule may be programmed to start
at 4:00am.
The two channels of the DG280A add additional
programming capabilities in the Skip Day mode.
Alternating days of operation may be set for each
channel. This lets one load be active while the second
load is skipped.
Example: Two pumps are used to operate at alternate
times to extend the life of each pump. An active
schedule may be set so Pump A operates 5 days and
skip 2 days. Pump B can be set to be active on
2 days and skip the other 5. Care must be taken in
programming if the two pumps must not operate at the
same time.
