Step 7

              Operate the Timer Box
  • Once calibrated, the timer box will switch to operation mode.
  • The LED will hold green when the box is waiting to be triggered.
  • The Box can be triggered through the button wires, or the encoder button
  • Once triggered, the LED will turn amber for the initial delay
  • The LED will turn RED when the equipment is being powered.
  • The LED will return to green once the system is ready to be triggered again.
  • Cycle the power, and trigger the system to ensure the calibration has been saved.

Once calibrated, the timer box will switch to operation mode.

The LED will hold green when the box is waiting to be triggered.
