Overview:
Models PT724A/DPT724A/PT724AE are extremely versatile 24 Hour 365 Day Event Timers designed to su ort a wide
range of a lications. Such a lications include: Home and Building Automation, Security, Access Control, Lighting
Control, Etc. PT724A/DPT724A/PT724AE are equi ed with an inde endently controlled form “C” relay contact that
rovides many latching and/or momentary o erations during a rogram schedule of your choice. The EE rom memory
allows for rogramming of unit rior to/or during field installation. Events may be set for single or multi le o erations
on a daily and/or weekly schedule. The block rogramming feature enables re eating an event on any combination of
consecutive days. PT724A/DPT724A/PT724AE will com ensate for daylight savings time if desired. Individually select-
ed holiday exce tions can be rogrammed to over-ride regularly scheduled events.

Installation Instructions:
1. Mount PT724A/DPT724A//PT724AE in desired location.
Carefully Review:
Basic Operation (pg. 2-3)
Terminal dentification Table (pg. 3)
Push Button Layout and Description(pg. 3)
Programming nstructions (pgs. 4-6)
2. Connect 12 to 24 volts AC or DC to terminals marked [+ DC -- ~ AC ~] (when using DC carefully observe olarity).
3. Connect 12VDC battery (o tional) to terminals marked [+ BAT -- 12VDC].
4. Insert lithium battery (o tional/not included. Order art LB2032) in battery
holder (fig. 1 pg. 4). With the + ositive side facing u .
5. Connect devices to be controlled to dry out uts marked [NO, C, NC].
Note: When connecting DC owered electromechanical devices such as Mag Locks, Electric Strikes, Bells,
Relays, etc. to install a catch diode across the os (+) and neg (-) terminals of the device. Connect diode as close to
the device as ossible with the banded side facing the os (+) terminal. This will reduce the ossibility of interference.
6. Program clock and desired event schedule (see programming instructions pg. 4-6).
Basic Operation:
PT724A/DPT724A/PT724AE controls an inde endently o erated dry form “C” relay out ut. Relay can be rogrammed
to: turn on (latch), turn off (release latch) or ulse (momentary toggle) at a s ecified time and day (this is referred to as
an event). Events are rogrammed via the ush buttons and LCD dis lay. Events may be rogrammed to occur on any
day of the week at any time. In addition, events may be re eated at a s ecific time on two (2) or more consecutive days
(i.e. M-F
, Sun-Th, etc) Multi le combinations of individual and block events may be rogrammed. Holiday exce tions
are individually selected by date and will over-ride all regularly scheduled events.
