INTRODUCTION
Master-Trol Handheld Programmer (CPT) can be used to program a single
Master-Trol Controller, or all controllers connected to a Versa-Link. The Handheld
Programmer is portable which allows you to connect to any controller directly. It is small and
light weight but capable of programming a majority of the system’s features.
FEATURES
Overall Dimensions: 6.75” x 4.75” x 1.5” (172mm x 121mm x 38mm)
Weight: 14.4oz (408g)
20 Character x 2 line LCD display
Auto Shutoff feature will automatically power down the programmer if it remains idle
for 5 minutes to conserve battery life.
Included with Handheld Programmer: 9V Battery, Versa-Link Interface Cable, and User
Manual.

KEYPAD DEFINITIONS
The “ON TIME” button is used to program the valve’s runtime. The runtime can be
set up to one hour using minute, second, and “tenths of a second” increments.
The “LOCKOUT TIME” button is used to program Lockouts. A Lockout is a specified
amount of time a fixture user must wait between actuations. A Lockout can be
programmed up to one hour using minute and second increments.
The “GLOBAL ENABLE” button is used to enable all valves that are disabled on a
controller. If the programmer is connected to multiple controllers on a Versa-Link,
then the “GLOBAL ENABLE” button will enable all valves that are disabled on all
connected controllers. Any valves that are already enabled will remain enabled.
The “GLOBAL DISABLE” button is used to disable all valves that are enabled on a
controller. If the programmer is connected to multiple controllers on a Versa-Link,
then the “GLOBAL DISABLE” button will disable all valves that are enabled on all
connected controllers. Any valves that are already disabled will remain disabled.
The “STATION ENABLE” button is used to enable a single valve that is disabled on
a controller.
The “STATION DISABLE” button is used to disable a single valve that is enabled on
a controller.
The “ACTUATOR MODE” button is used to configure the fixture’s pushbutton to one
of the following modes:
(SC) Single Cycle -
Mode
The valve runs for the programmed “ON TIME.” If a lockout is
programmed, then the valve will disable until the lockout
has elapsed. Once the lockout has elapsed, the valve will
automatically return to standby mode and wait for the next
activation.
(CI) Cycle Interrupt -
Mode
When the valve is cycled, the cycle can be interrupted by
actuating the fixture button a second time to turn the water off.
If the cycle is not interrupted, then the valve will run until the
“ON TIME” has elapsed. If a lockout is programmed, then the
valve will disable until the lockout has elapsed. Once the
lockout has elapsed, the valve will automatically return to
standby mode and wait for the next activation.
(AM) Accumulator -
Mode
This mode is used for accumulators on an AcornVac vacuum
plumbing system. When an input signal from the accumulator is
present, the valve will open. The “ON TIME” will not begin until
the input signal is no longer present. Once the input signal is no
longer present, the valve will continue to operate until the “ON
TIME” has elapsed. Then the valve will return to standby mode.

VALVE
MODE
STATUS
(TM) Terminate -
Cycle Mode
When the valve is cycled, the cycle can be interrupted by
actuating the fixture button a second time to turn the water off.
Even though the water is turned off, the “ON TIME” will
continue to count down. The valve cannot be actuated again
until the “ON TIME” has elapsed.
The “VALVE MODE” button is used to configure the fixture’s valve to one of the
following modes. (WARNING - These modes will remain active until they are turned
off using the handheld programmer):
(SS) Simultaneous -
Shutoff Mode
When this feature is on, the valve will be paired with the valve
numerically before it on the controller. When the valve is
actuated, it will run until the “ON TIME” has elapsed. When the
valve cycle ends, the valve numerically before it will also end
its cycle if it is running, regardless of its “ON TIME”.
WARNING: This feature can only be turned off with the hand-
held programmer.
(PO) Paired -
Operation Mode
When this feature is on, the valve will be paired with the valve
numerically before it on the controller. When that valve is
actuated, both valves will turn on at the same time. The “ON
TIME” for the valve that is set for “Paired Operation Mode” will
not begin until the “ON TIME” for the valve numerically before
it has elapsed and shut off. This valve will then continue to run
until its “ON TIME” has elapsed, then shutoff.
(RO) Remote On -
Mode
When this feature is on, it will turn the valve on and override
the “ON TIME”. WARNING: This feature will turn the valve on
and it will remain on until the feature is turned off, regardless
of the “ON TIME”.
(RS) Remote -
Shutoff Mode
When this feature is on, it will disable the valve. This feature
overrides the “STATION ENABLE” feature of the handheld
programmer and the Master-Trol System Computer.
WARNING: The valve can only be enabled by turning this
feature off with the handheld programmer.
After the “ON TIME” and ”LOCKOUT TIME” have been programmed, this button is
used to set the valve to Variable Lockout Mode. The Variable Lockout will disable the
valve until the “LOCKOUT TIME” has elapsed if the valve is actuated a specified
number of times within a specified window of time. This feature is typically used on
fixtures with multiple users.
The “STATUS” button allows you to view the current settings of any selected valve
on a controller. You can advance to the next valve by pressing the “ENTER” button.
