ADVANCED 24HR TIMER

The Autopilot Advanced 24hr Recycling Timer (APCTART2) is a simple repeat/recycling timer. When it is plugged in and power is turned on, the timer will "repeat" its ON and OFF schedule until the power is turned off. After connecting the APCTART2 to a power source and the device you want to connect to the APCTART2 power port, the device will turn ON and OFF automatically based on the settings you choose with the two knobs.

1. The built-in photocell may also play a role in when the timer is activated. The user can select Day, Night or 24-hour mode (both).
2. The two adjustment knobs make it easy to change the timer settings and to provide a quick visual verification of the set-points. The LEDs on the front of the unit will turn ON and OFF to show the current conditions of the APCTART2. 

How to Use Autopilot Advanced 24hr Recycling Timer:

Plug the unit into a standard NEMA 5-15 wall outlet. A 120 volt power supply is required. For more permanent installations, the mounting tab at the top of the unit can be secured to a wall. Make sure the device you're connecting to the APCTART2 has appropriate power and won't draw more current than this unit can handle. Use the power outlet on the front of the unit to connect the device you want to handle.

Selecting Day, Night or 24-hour Model

Make sure the unit is in the “unlock” mode before making adjustments. Next, decide if you want the timer to function during the Day, Night or 24-hours (both). The built-in photocell will sense the lighting level and activate the timer based on the selected Mode. Adjust the switch on the front of the unit to select Day, Night, or 24-hour mode (both).

Changing Timer Settings

After the timer mode is selected, the timer settings can now be adjusted. Rotate the ON TIME and OFF Time dials to the desired settings.
The controller allows a wide range of time settings, but it may take some trial and error to get them adjusted correctly. A stopwatch or any other timer can be used to check the actual recycling times. Once the actual time is known, you can make small adjustments to get to the desired settings. Once this is done, you can "lock" the settings into memory. Until the unit is released, you won't be able to change the cycle.
