Operating Manual
S0080 50 Event 24 Hour 7 day Timer - Din Rail
1.0 OVERVIEW
The A S0080 is a 7 day timer housed in a convenient DIN rail housing, which has four closing contact outputs. It permits a
total of 50 station (event) switching times. Each can be set to turn on any single day of the week or on multiple days, from
1 sec up to 24 hours. Switching events programmed for multiple days count as only a single station (event) and each of
the 50 event times may be set to any (but not multiple) output.
Manual override is provided so that any of the four outputs can be set “ON” or “OFF” manually which overrides any of
the event times programmed for that output.
The unit has security lock out of Time Edit, Station Edit and Clear Memory Functions via DIP switch selection.
2.0 OPERATION
On the front of the timer there are four LED’s and ve switches which provide a visual indication of the status of each of
the four output zones and provide navigation of the programming menu (Refer to Fig 2.1).
The LED’s indicate whether a zone is in “Auto” mode or “Manual’ mode. A green LED indicates a zone is in “Auto” mode,
and will therefore follow the programmed sequence of triggers entered by the user.
A blue LED indicates that a zone is in “Manual” mode and therefore has been manually set to be either “ON” or “OFF” by
the user. Once a zone is in “Manual” mode it will stay in this mode until the user sets it back to “Auto” mode, or the unit
is switched off (NOTE : All zones will return to ‘Auto Mode’ on power up).
The switches are used to navigate the programming menu, while the switch LED’s indicate the output status of the zone.
i.e. if the zone is “On” or “Off”.
On the rear of the unit are the four, output zone “voltage free” closing contacts. Provision has been included for a normal-
ly open and a normally closed contact on each output.
If a zone is set to “ON” the corresponding output zone will become active. The normally open (N/O) contact for that zone
will short, the normally closed contact (N/C) will become open and these contacts will stay this way until the zone is again
set “OFF”.

3.0 CONNECTIONS
Figure 3.1 shows the layout of the S0080.
Fig 3.1
3.1 24V DC Connectors
The unit is powered by 24V DC. Connection can be made via a 2.1mm DC jack or screw terminals. These two inputs are
connected in parallel inside the unit, so either could be used as an input, while the other could be used as a 24V DC out-
put to power another device.
Fig 3.2
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT “AUTO MODE” OPERATION
If the timer is not displaying the main clock screen, where the time is changing, the unit is
not running in “Auto Mode”. This means it will not be checking any of the programmed
events and hence will not activate any outputs automatically.
Essentially this means that as soon as the Menu button is pressed the unit is no longer in
“Auto Mode”.
Make sure to return to the main screen by exiting all menu’s when not making changes.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure power is switched off when adjusting DIP switches.
New settings will be effective when power is switched back on.
3.2 DIP Switch Settings
There are four DIP switches accessible on the inside of the S 0080 which are for selecting the backup battery and various
security lockout features (See Fig 3.3). To access the DIP switches remove the bottom screw cover.
Switch 1 - Battery Backup
When switch 1 is set to the “ON” position the internal battery is connected to the units clock chip. If power is ever
removed the battery will ensure the clock chip continues to run and therefore keep the current time.
NOTE : This battery does not provide backup power to the entire S 0080 unit. The display will not light up and the unit
will not function. Only the internal clock chip will still be supplied power.
If the entire S 0080 requires backup power a backup power supply can be connected to the 24V DC input.
Switch 2 - Station Edit Lockout
When switch 2 is set to “ON” access to the Station Edit Mode will be restricted. Therefore there can be no tampering of
the Station (Event) times.
Switch 3 - Time Edit Lockout
When switch 3 is set to the “ON” access to the Time Edit Mode will be restricted. Therefore there can be no changes
made to the current time.
Switch 4 - Clear Memory Lockout
When switch 4 is set to the “ON” access to the Clear Memory Mode will be restricted. Therefore there can be no erasing
of the Station (Event) times stored in memory.

3.3 Closing Contacts:
These contacts “close” when the corresponding output zone is set “ON”.
(Note: these relay contacts are voltage free and have a rating of 1 amp).
These can be used to trigger devices such as the Redback A 1741 MP3 Message player, which require a closing contact
to activate. Or they could be used to trigger external relays to switch power to external devices.
Fig 3.4 illustrates an example of connecting the S 0080 to the triggers of an A 1741, and also using an S 4455 high cur-
rent relay box to switch an external power supply.
A 24V DC plugpack is used to power the S 0080 and another to power the A 1741, although a single 1A 24V DC supply
would be sufcient to power both.
In the example shown the Zone Output 1 closing contact of the timer is connected to the Input 1 trigger of the A 1741
message player. When Zone1 is activated by the timer, the normally open contact closes and triggers input 1, subsequently
playing message 1 of the message player.
With the addition of the Redback S 4455 10 amp relay box we can switch as external supply to power a high current
drawing device. The S 4455 can be set to 12/24/48V operation (in this case we have set it to 24V) via the on board jump-
er. We then use ouput 4 of the timer to switch the positive side of the 24V supply, to power the S4455 relay box. The 24
V in this case is being piggy backed off the supply from the timer (but a separate power supply could be substituted).
Hence when output 4 is triggered by the timer, power is applied to the S 4455 relay box. The normally open contact on
the S 4455 therefore closes and power is then switched from the external supply to the external device (in this case a
pump, solenoid, etc).

4.0 BATTERY BACKUP
Inside the unit is the battery used to backup the internal clock chip. If DIP switch 1 (battery backup) is set to “ON” and the
unit fails to keep the correct time after a power failure then it may be possible that the backup battery is at. To replace
the battery, remove the rear of the DIN rail enclosure using a small at blade screwdriver.
Inside you will nd two boards which are screwed together. Carefully removed these from the DIN rail enclosure.
Fig 4.1 Fig 4.2
The battery required is a 3V Lithium (CR2032) such as Redback S 4999B and is mounted in a vertical mount battery holder
as shown in gures 5.1 and 5.2.
Fig 4.3 Fig 4.4
Remove the screws highlighted in gure 5.3 and then remove the top board, so that the battery is accessible as shown in
gure 5.4.
Replace the battery and then reverse the procedure to assemble the unit back together. Make sure the header pins
highlighted in gure 5.4 are lined up correctly before screwing the boards back together.

3.0 NAVIGATING THE MENUS
In order to setup the unit to run automatically, the station (or event) times will need to be programmed. There are ve
buttons on the front of the timer which are used to program the unit and navigate the various menus.
When the unit is rst powered up, the model number and Chipset will be displayed briey before the current time is
shown IN gure 3.1.
The main screen (Current Time Screen) shown in Fig 3.2 displays the current time. When this screen is displayed the unit
is running in “AUTO MODE” and therefore all outputs will work as programmed. However if the unit is in any of the sub
menu’s (Menu Mode) the unit will no longer respond to any event that has been programmed to occur, while the unit
remains in menu mode. On exiting the menu, the
timer will check all programmed events and update
the status of the output zones.
Press the “Menu” button on the front of the timer.
The unit is now in “Menu Mode” and the screen
should display the Manual Select of Output Zones
Screen. This is the rst of 5 sub menu screens which
are navigated by pressing the up and down buttons
as shown in Fig 3.3. Pressing the Menu button again
will return the user to the Main Screen. Select the
desired sub menu by pressing the “Enter” button.
