Programmable Timer
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The APT-9S Programmable timer provides a compact time controller which may be panel or DIN-rail
mounted. The unit includes an integrated battery backed clock / calender function which retains the
programming and time-of-day information when power is lost. The APT-9S supports three operating
modes: Timer Pulse and Dual Timer.
When operated as a Timer the unit will turn ON or OFF the relay contact at specific times of the
day/week and will store up to 80 unique Timer Mode programs.
When operated in the Pulse mode the relay contact will be pulsed ON for a specific duration (pulse
width) at specific times of the day/week. The unit will store up to 160 unique Pulse Mode programs.
The Dual Timer mode allows the unit to continuously cycle ON/OFF with programmable ON and OFF
times.

PROGRAMMING THE APT-96
When the BAT. Switch is switched ON the APT-96 will automatically enter the CLOCK SET-UP mode.

Setting Day Ranges
The program times entered in the TIMER and PULSE setup modes may be applied to one or more days
of the week. Pressing the DAY button will cause the current day to flash. If the DAY is currently
enabled in will flash with a short 'off' time followed by a longer 'on' time. If the DAY is not enabled it
will flash with a long 'off' time followed by a shorter 'on' time. Pressing the MAN button will enable /
disable the current day. Multiple days of the week may be enabled for each time setting.
Pressing the DAY button again will move to the next day of the week. If a day of the week is enabled it
will be shown in the display. The DAY button may be cycled through the 7 days of the week. Each
programmed time may have a different day of the week setting.
TIMER SETUP Mode
The TIMER mode will turn the relay ON and OFF at specific times of the day. Different time
sequences may be defined for each day of the week (see setting day ranges). When the TIMER SETUP
mode is entered the display shows:
The MIN and SEC buttons allow setting the time that the Output will turn ON. Once a time has been
entered press the PROG button and the display will change to allow entering the time that the Output
will turn OFF.
After setting the OFF time press the PROG button again. The display will show the ON time for the
next program number. This process is repeated until all required program times have been entered. It is
not necessary to enter a sequence for each of the 80 possible program times.
To disable a program entry press the CLEAR. The display will show - - : - - to allow a new time to be
entered. Pressing the CLEAR again will retrieve the previous time. When the programming is
complete press the START button to return to the NORMAL mode.
This example shows the relay being turned on at 11:05 and turned off at
11:15 Monday – Friday.

APT-9S
Programmable Timer
Quick Start Guide
The times for the ON and OFF sequences may be specified in seconds/minutes or minutes/hours by
changing the TIMER/PULSE (MIN/SEC) switch. If the MIN position is selected (minutes/hours) the
MIN and HR buttons allow setting the times. If the SEC position is selected (seconds/minutes) the SEC
and MIN buttons allow setting the times.
After setting the ON time press the PROG button and the display will show:
After setting the OFF time press the START button to start the timer. The device will count down the
OFF time and then turn the relay on. It will then will count down the ON time and turn the relay off.
This cycle will repeat.
While in the DUAL TIMER mode the START button will toggle between running the cycle and
stopping the cycle. The output will be forced OFF when the timer is stopped.
Pressing the MODE switch will return the unit to the NORMAL (TIMER or PULSE) mode.
Holiday Setup Mode
The unit may be programmed to skip a set number of days. If the MODE button is pressed twice while
in the NORMAL mode the unit will enter the HOLIDAY SETUP mode.
The day to start skipping is selected by the DAY button which will cycle through each of the days of
the week. When the appropriate day is selected press the MIN key to select the number of days to
suspend the sequencing. Press the START button to return to the NORMAL mode.
