Mounting. Use a secure surface that will accept screws.
Remove the front clear cover by use of the thumb screws to
access the mounting holes at the four corners. Using the box
as a template, mark the centers of the holes with a pencil and
drill. Insert screws through the four corner holes and tighten.
Connect the Meter. Because the PT35 comes standard with
a built-in meter connector, the simplest method of connect-
ing your Seametrics meter to the PT35 is to order a mating
“Seametrics connector” pre-installed on your meter or ow
sensor. If your meter does not have a Seametrics connector,
there are three alternatives: 1) Any wire ends can be con-
nected to the PT35 terminal block (see Connections diagram
at right). 2) A cable-with-connector can be factory-ordered
and eld-wired to your meter. 3) A connector can be factory-
ordered and eld-installed on your meter output cable (see
Connector Field Installation diagram below).
GENERAL INFORMATION
The PT35 digital counter-timer is designed to be used with
Seametrics (or similar) meters and ow sensors that produce a
pulse signal. It is typically used in water treatment and chemical
dosing applications, most often in cooling towers and boilers.
The PT35 serves as either a single or a dual timer, depending
on whether one or both of its independent accumulators and
timed outputs are used.
In single timer applications, one accumulator counts pulses
coming from the meter. When a pre-set number of pulses has
been reached, output power turns on for a set time, and then
the cycle repeats.
In dual timer applications (typically, one chemical feed and one
water bleed), both accumulators and timers are set to operate
independently with input from a single meter. A sequential
function can be selected to lock one timer out while the other
is operating. This prevents feed and bleed from occurring
simultaneously.
The PT35 can be used with dry contact meters (e.g. Seametrics
MJR meters), contacting-head meters with solid-state pickups
(e.g. Seametrics MJE meters), or insertion ow sensors (e.g.
Seametrics IP, TX, and EX Series).

Connect the Load. Two output cords are provided for connec-
tion of 115 Vac loads. The unit can be hard-wired if necessary,
using the terminals inside.
Connect Power. A power cord is provided. Connect by plugging
in to any standard grounded outlet. (See Connections Diagram
above for conduit connection.)

If the meter pulses once every gallon, set the
accumulator for the number of gallons desired
between timer cycles. For meters with multiple pulses
per gallon, multiply the desired number of gallons
by the pulses per gallon. For meters with multiple
gallons between pulses, divide the desired gallons by the
gallons per pulse.
Example:
The goal is one timer output every 60 gallons.
The meter has a 5 gallons per pulse (G/P) output.

5 gallons/pulse
How To Determine TIMER (Power On Time) Setting(s).
The TIMER time is set to release the desired amount
of chemical to be fed or water to be bled, and is
specic to the pump, valve, etc. being used. When deter-
mining the power on time, check that it isn’t more than
the expected time between cycles, to avoid feeding and
bleeding out of order or possible overlap conditions, by
calculating:
If this result is greater than the determined power on
time, enter the determined power on time into the TIMER
setting.
INSTALLATION and OPERATION
INSTALLATION
Setting. Using the thumb screws, remove the front cover.
Test for TImer Output. To test the timed output(s), press the
“TEST 1” or “TEST 2” button. The red output indicator should
light and remain on for the pre-set number of seconds.
How To Determine Accumulator Setting(s):
OPERATION
Press the SET button. The green ACC (accumulator) light
at the upper left corner of the display will begin blinking,
indicating that the accumulator is ready to be set.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase or counter-
clockwise to decrease until the desired number of
pulses is reached.
Press SET again. The red TIMER indicator will light.
Set the desired time in seconds for output power to
turn on.
Repeat the process to set Accumulator 2 and Timer 2
as needed.
Press SET again to display "SEq" (sequential).
Turn the knob in either direction to switch from "SEq" to
"nSEq" (non-sequential). Sequential operation prevents
the Timer 2 output from operating while Timer 1 is on,
so that chemical feed does not occur during bleed.
Non-sequential operation allows either timer to operate
immediately when its count is reached.
Press SET again to return to normal operation.

= 12 pulses (accumulator setting)
After setting (when the unit has returned to normal operation,
indicated by no blinking indicators), any display can be selected
at any time by turning the knob. Turning the knob clockwise
causes clockwise rotation among the indicator lights. Stop
turning the knob after arriving at the desired display. This is the
display that will remain until another display is selected.
Possible Overlap Conditions. If the power on time is longer
than the time between on cycles, the on time won’t elapse
before the next on cycle is supposed to start. If this happens,
the power output will remain on, and “OUF” (Overlap, Under
wait time, Failure) will appear on the screen, to alert the user
that a problem has occured. This situation can be avoided by
following the equation above in “How To Determine TIMER
(Power On Time) Setting(s)”. Also note that if in sequential
mode, the sum of the on time, must be less than the minimum
seconds between cycles. Otherwise, one relay will hold up the
other and an overlap condition will occur.
Accumulator Function. The accumulator adds received
pulses once every second, and when the accumulator number
is reached or exceded, the power will turn on. However, any
pulses above the accumulator number will not roll over to the
next cycle, so if the accumulator is set to 20, with 19 pulses
already having been received, and 2 more are received in the
next second, the accumulator will read 0 once the power is
turned on, and not 1.
