This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to PART 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

LOCAL SEQUENCE INDICATOR - Only active when “Local / Remote” switch set to “Local”
LOCAL / REMOTE SWITCH - “Local” to enable local sequence initiate switch / “Remote” to
enable dry contact sequence control
SEQUENCE SETTINGS - Set sequence delay and control type. For more information, see

Sequence Interval: No Delay
Sequence Interval: One Second
Sequence Interval: Two Seconds
Sequence Interval: Six Seconds
Normally Open - Sequence up on contact closure.
Normally Closed - Sequence up on contact opening.
Momentary Operation
Sequence up or down (depending on state) when remote control contact is
toggled.
Maintained Operation
For normally open mode sequence up when remote control contact is closed
sequence down when remote control contact is opened. For normally closed
mode sequence up when remote control contact is open sequence down when
remote control contact is closed.
Sequence Complete Status
Contact closes upon completion of sequence cycle on and opens after
completion of sequence off.
Step 4
Contact becomes a 4th step in the sequence cycle on and off, contact closes
last with a sequence on and opens first with sequence off.

SEQUENCE CONTROL OPTIONS
! To sequence units up when power is restored from a total power loss:
1. Set DIP switch to Normally Open
2. Connect a single pole, momentary, normally closed dry contact to the
SEQUENCE UP/DOWN TERMINALS
NOTE: If local sequence control is not required, short the SEQUENCE
UP/DOWN TERMINALS together

CONTROLLING MULTIPLE UNITS
The remote control option is controlled via a user provided dry contact closure. Multiple sequencers can be
controlled by one switch in either a daisy chain fashion or simultaneously. ‘Momentary’ or ‘maintained’,
‘normally open’ or ‘normally closed’ settings will vary based on the method selected. See below for details.
There are two connection methods when multiple sequencers are to operate as one system;
The first method is to have multiple units operate in succession in a daisy chain fashion. This can be
implemented by connecting the ‘Sequence Complete Status’ terminals of the first unit to the ‘Sequence Initiate
terminals’ of the next unit. The first unit must have its ‘momentary’ or ‘maintained’ and ‘normally open’
or ‘normally closed’ settings set based on the switch or control system. All proceeding units must
be set to operate in a ‘normally open’, ‘maintained’ format. The notification system for this method should be
used at the very end of the “chain” to verify the end status for all units. (see Diagram A)
NOTE: the last channel of the first unit and the first channel of the second unit will turn on simultaneously
because there is no delay on the sequence status terminals.
The second method is in a parallel fashion so that the sequencing of the units begins simultaneously. Simply
connect the units in parallel to the control system or switch. All units must have their ‘momentary’ or ‘maintained’
and ‘normally open’ or ‘normally closed’ settings set identically based on the switch or control system.
It is recommended that each unit has its own notification system in this setup to verify the status of
each unit. (see Diagram B)
Note that Delay Time Settings affect units individually.

• While using remote sequencing dry contact terminals, be sure to use the appropriate settings for whichever
contact closure system you are implementing. Failure to do so may result in improper operation.
Ex: Do not attempt to control the unit using a ‘maintained’ switch while in ‘momentary’ mode.
Ex: Unless you are using a ‘normally closed’ ‘momentary’ switch, make sure your system is set for ‘normally open’
when operating in ‘momentary’ mode.
