Installation
To the installer:
1. Read operating instructions carefully.
2. Check the input and output ratings marked on the unit to
make sure this product is suitable for your power supply
and application.
3. Disconnect power supply prior to installation to prevent
electrical shock.
4. Wire in accordance with National and Local electrical code
requirements.
The Digi 42 time switch can be surface, flush or rail mounted
and is also available with an enclosure for stand-alone applica-
tions (GMX2).
MOUNTING
Lift off front cover and loosen the two screws on opposite
corners. Pull off plug-in base with a left-to-right rolling motion.
SURFACE MOUNTING (inside panel)
Place screws through holes in base and screw to back of
panel or wall. Connect wires to wiring terminals.
Place terminal cover over terminal block and, by lining up the
two screws with corner holes in base, push timer firmly onto
plug-in base. Tighten the two screws. A base for DIN rail mount-
ing is also available as an option. Order Part No. MB-DIN.
PANEL MOUNTING (flush mounting through panel door)
Cut a square hole 2-5/8” x 2-5/8” (66 x 66mm) in the front
of the panel. Remove plug-in base and insert the time switch
through the opening. Place the flush mounting bracket over
rear of the unit to secure to the panel door.
For stand-alone installations, the unit may be surface
mounted inside an E100 indoor or E200 outdoor enclosure
which is available from Grasslin Controls Corporation or your
wholesaler.
WIRING
1. Wire power to input terminals 1 and 2 (
make sure to apply
correct voltage; use of incorrect voltage will void warranty
).
2. Wire power to circuit 1 and 2 common terminals. Wire NO
(closed during ON times) or NC (open during ON times) to
the load.

2. Time of day (Hour and Minute)
3. Single day or multiple days
A program is required for each ON event, and a program is
required for each OFF event.
NOTE: MULTIPLE ON OR OFF EVENTS MAY BE PROGRAMMED.

Mon.-Fri. Program 2 may turn the air conditioning OFF at 5PM Mon.-Fri.
If someone is working late, they may press the override key to turn on
the air conditioning. If they forget to press the override key again when
they leave, the air conditioning will stay on all night (or all weekend).
To prevent this from occurring, additional OFF times may be pro-
grammed.
• Program 3 can turn the air conditioning OFF at 6PM.
• Program 4 can turn the air conditioning OFF at 7PM.
• Program 5 can turn the air conditioning OFF at 8PM., etc.

■ TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: Days are flashing, pressing any key does nothing
except key turns output ON and OFF.
SOLUTION: Time of Day and Day of Week have not been set. See
“SETTING THE TIME”
NOTE: This is the condition after a reset. If the timer is found in this
condition after it has been installed, programmed and operating for a
while, it may indicate that electrical noise or voltage transients have dis-
rupted the microprocessor causing a loss of program information. Call 1-
800-272-1115 and request that a no-charge “Snubber Filter” be sent to
you to place across the input to the timer, which may solve the problem.
A second, but very unlikely cause of loss of program is a power fail-
ure with the backup battery low or dead. Check by disconnecting power
and monitoring how long the battery keeps the time of day in the display.
PROBLEM: Time of day was set while holding the key down,
but days are still flashing.
SOLUTION: Current day of week was not set while holding down
the key. See “SETTING THE TIME”
PROBLEM: It is 10AM and a ON program for 8AM was entered, but
the output is not ON. Display shows the and symbols.
SOLUTION: After programming, the timer does not “look back” to
determine if it should be ON. Press the key (temporary override)
to turn the output ON; appears in display. The timer will
assume automatic operation at the next programmed event.
PROBLEM: A program for 8AM Monday thru Friday was entered,
but it will not accept it and CH1 is flashing.
SOLUTION: The ON or OFF was not entered as part of the
program. ON or OFF must be selected.
