SwitchPak - SPAK
SPAK Operation
When the SwitchPak is initially powered up, you will be prompted to set the PHASE of the circuit feeding the power supply.
The correct Phase must be selected if you intend to use the ZERO-CROSS SWITCHING feature of SwitchPak. If you are
NOT using ZERO-CROSS SWITCHING, any phase can be selected. However, you must select and save a PHASE option
to end the warning prompt and alert beep.
Follow the steps shown in the flow diagram below to set the power supply phase.

SwitchPak uses schedule events to control one or more circuits (RELAYS). For each scheduled event, RELAYS can be
selected to switch ON, OFF, or NO CHANGE, (not selected for event) eliminating the need to have both ON and OFF
events at the same scheduled time. Each schedule event can be assigned to any combination of days.
The flow diagram below shows the programming steps to edit a SCHEDULED EVENT.
