Introduction
The EL7100 and EL7200 are one and two-channel, electronic time controls that provide
simple, inexpensive control of lighting, HVAC, motors, pumps, or any electrical load with a
time-of-day schedule. The control may be utilized as a 24 hour, 7 day or full year (365 day)
control.
The EL series allows for the programming of 128 events. An event could be an ON or an
OFF.
The EL series of time controls are versatile, yet easy to program. A simple keypad com-
bined with a large, user-friendly display takes the frustration out of programming.
Specifications
Programming Capabilities
• 128 Events - An event can be an ON or an OFF. Each event can be assigned to either
channel. Each event can be assigned to any day or any combination of days, including
the three holiday schedules.
• Optional Daylight Savings Correction - Programmable as a day of the month (i.e. 1st
Sunday in April / last Sunday in October)
• Leap Year Correction to the Year 2100
• 30 Single Day Holidays - (e.g. July 4th)
• 30 Day of Month Type Holidays - (e.g. last Monday in May)
• 30 Holiday Durations - Programmable from 1 to 366 days (e.g. June 9th to August 27th)
3

• 6 Specific Holidays - Each holiday can be optionally selected
Good Friday Easter Sunday Easter Monday
Boxing Day Victoria Day Thanksgiving Thursday and Friday
• 3 Holiday Schedules - Each of these 96 holidays can be assigned to one of three holiday
schedules (A,B or C). For example, if July 4th is assigned to holiday schedule A, then on
July 4th only those events containing holiday A in their day fields will be executed.
• Keyboard Override - Toggles the current output state; begins immediately when initiated and
remains in effect until overridden again or until the next programmed event occurs.
• Selectable Clock Format - 12 hour (am/pm) or 24 hour clock format.
• Momentary - The EL7200 has two relays. This control can be configured for either main-
tained or momentary, operation. The momentary option is intended for use with latching
relays. When configured for momentary the EL7200 will have only one channel; Relay #1 will
provide a 1 second latching ON pulse and Relay #2 will provide a 1 second latching OFF
pulse. The EL7100 only has one relay, therefore it does not have momentary capability.

Keypad Description
Master Reset - Clears time and program. Display will show "MEM CLR". The reset switch is
accessed by inserting a pointed object, such as a paper clip, into the reset
hole to the right of the keypad.
PROGRAM - This key allows the user to add, delete or change parameters (events, time,
holidays).
When pressed from the RUN mode, the programming menu is displayed start-
ing with the TIME menu header.
When pressed from a menu header, the control will advance to the next menu
header.
When pressed from a programming step, the control returns to that menu
header.
When pressed during review, the control will go to the appropriate programming
display.

REVIEW - This key allows the user to review all the programmed steps using displays
condensed to show as much information as possible on one display. The user
will not be able to change the program in the Review mode.
When pressed from the RUN mode or any programming step within a menu
header, the control will return to the TIME menu header.
When pressed from any menu header during review, the control will move to
the next menu header.
When pressed from a review step, the control returns to that menu header.
RUN - This key will return the control to the RUN mode.
From all programming steps (excluding the override menu), the control will
perform a status update and return to the RUN mode.
From all review steps, the control will go straight to the RUN mode without
updating. If the REVIEW key was pressed while in a programming step the
control will perform a status update and return to the run mode.
When in the override menu, this key will return the selected channel from an over-
ride to the current event status shown and return the control to the RUN mode.
