EXERCISE TIMER CLOC
Introduction
The functions of the exerciser time clock are shown in the diagram below. The time
clock has two slide switches with three positions: The switch in the upper right corner is a
SET SWITCH used to set the present time and day for your locality, run the program,
change an existing exercise cycle or start a new program. The MODE SWITCH located
in the upper left corner can start the generator manually, exercise the generator
automatically, or disable the exerciser function. The push buttons below the clock
display are used to program the exercise day, time and duration. The SKIP BUTTON is
used to ignore an "exercise" day. The RESET BUTTON initializes the time clock
erasing any previous program.

Programming the Exerciser Time Clock
The mode switch slider is in the Oor "disable" position when packaged at the factory.
The set switch is in the "run" position.
Use the following steps to program the exerciser time clock for a particular exercise
day, time, and duration:
1. Move MODE SWITCH to "auto" and the SET SWITCH to "run".
2. Press the RESET BUTTON using the tip of a pencil or pen. This operation will
produce a blinking display showing "00:0" for the time and an arrow under the day
7 (Sunday).
3. Move the SET SWITCH slider to the left (clock icon) position so the present day
and time can be set. A default time AM 12:00 appears in the display with an
arrow under the day 7 or Sunday.
4. Press the DAY button (1..7) repeatedly until the arrow points to the actual day of
the week.
5. Press the HOUR button (h) repeatedly until the actual time of day is displayed,
such as AM 5:00 or PM 5:00.
6. Press the MINUTE button (m) repeatedly until the minute of the present hour is
displayed, such as AM 5:30 or PM 5:30.
7. Move the SET switch slider to the "run" position. The present time is displayed
with the clock colon ":" blinking in one-second intervals. The arrow appears
continuously under the present day.
8. Move the SET switch slider to the "program" position (P in a circle). The default
time for starting an exercise is AM 12:00. The day arrow is absent. A small 1
appears to the right of the time with a lamp symbol above the 1. The 1 (or odd
number) indicates the start of an exercise or contact closure. The lamp symbol
indicates that the exerciser contacts are closed.
9. Press the DAY button (d) repeatedly until an arrow appears under the desired
exercise day (Monday = 1) for starting the exercise.
10. Press the HOUR button repeatedly until the desired time for beginning the
exercise is displayed, such as AM 5:00 or PM 5:00.
11. Press the MINUTE button repeatedly until the minute of the hour for beginning
the exercise is displayed, such as AM 5:30 or PM 5:30.

12. Press the PROGRAM button once more to set the day and time for ending the
exercise. A default time AM 12:00 appears in the display. A small 2 appears to
the right of the time. The lamp symbol is absent. The 2 (or even number)
indicates the end of an exercise or open contacts. The absence of the lamp symbol
indicates when the exerciser contacts will open.
13. Press the DAY button repeatedly until an arrow appears under the desired day for
terminating the exercise (Monday = 1) as in step 9.
14. Press the MINUTE button repeatedly until the desired minute of the exercise
termination hour is displayed, such as AM 5:40 or PM 5:40.
15. Move the slider on the SET switch to the "run" position. The exerciser time clock
is now programmed to start the emergency generator at the desired day, time and
for the desired duration.
NOTE: It is possible to program one to eight "on - off" cycles or transitions for the
following day combinations: One to eight "on-off" cycles any day of the week; One to
eight "on-off" cycles Monday to Friday inclusive; One to eight "on-off" cycles both
Friday and Saturday only; One to eight "on-off" cycles Monday to Saturday inclusive;
One to eight "on-off" cycles Monday to Sunday inclusive; All day combinations can have
any combination of "on -off " cycles. Normally the exerciser time clock will only
require one "on-off" cycle once per week. The programming steps given above describe
how to exercise the generator once a week. EXAMPLE:Suppose that the desirable day
and time for exercising the generator is Saturday at 5:00 AM. Move the slider of the SET
SWITCH to the right (P in circle) position. Press the DAY BUTTON (1..7) repeatedly until
the arrow appears under day 6. Press the HOUR BUTTON (h) followed by the MINUTE
BUTTON repeatedly until the desired time AM5: 30 are displayed. The generator is to be
shut down after exercising for 10 minutes. With the slider of the SET SWITCH still in the
right (P in circle) position press the PROGRAM BUTTON once. The display will show
a continuous default time of AM 12:00. The day arrow(s) disappears. The small 1 will
change to a 2 and the lamp symbol disappears. Press the DAY BUTTON (1..7) again
repeatedly until the day arrow appears under day 6. Press the HOUR BUTTON (h) followed
by the MINUTE BUTTON again repeatedly until the desired time AM5: 40 are displayed.
Return the SET SWITCH slider to the "run" position. The exerciser time clock is
programmed to start the generator at 5:30 AM on Saturday morning and run for 10
minutes then shut down at 5:40 AM of the same day Saturday. Following this procedure,
the generator can be exercised as frequently as desired.
