How to Use this Manual

The XT User’s Guide is divided into five sections.

Section 1: Introduction describes the XT’s physical characteristics

(keyboard, LED's, circuits, and input connector). It also briefly describes

the features and capabilities of the XT.

Section 2: Set Up describes step-by-step how to set system parameters (such

as the date and time) and how to program the XT to perform simple timing

operations (such as turning a circuit ON at a specific time and OFF at a

specific time).

Section 3: Programming Procedures provides XT programming strategies

and tips, explains how to enter a program into the XT, and how to take

advantage of its wide-ranging and powerful capabilities.

Section 4: Sample Programs includes step-by-step instructions for

programming the XT. These sample programs illustrate the most common

and direct programming techniques.

Appendix A: Special Programming Considerations discusses Interval

Timing, the difference between a day and a twenty-four hour period, Day

Omission, the Daylight Saving Time standard, and the effect each of these

has on programmed operations.

Conventions Used in the Manual:

BOLD CAPS Represent keyboard keys you should press. DAY ENTER

means press the DAY key and then the ENTER key.

MMDDYY Expresses how dates and times appear on the display:

HHMMSS Month/Day/Year is expressed as MMDDYY. For

example, December 3, 1998, displays as 120398. Hours

and minutes are expressed as HHMM. For example,

11:45 displays as 1145.

P–nVariables are expressed in italics. For example, an “n” in

italics indicates a number to be supplied by the user.

boldface type Identifies information that appears on the XT’s display

and, within text, indicates critical information.

ChronTrol XT Series Timers

User's Guide 5

Section 1: Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase! Your ChronTrol XT is a programmable,

microprocessor-based timer that can control up to 16 devices (outputs) and

can receive inputs from up to 8 external devices. The XT can easily be

programmed to switch circuits on and off at specific times and dates, for

durations, on a cycle, or from external devices attached to its optional input

connector. 20 to 40 timing programs can be stored in the XT’s memory.

The XT can be programmed down to the second. Its versatile calendar

automatically adjusts for leap years, Daylight Saving Time and holidays.

Programs are easy to set, review, and change through the 24-pushbutton,

audible keyboard.

The XT family includes four basic models: table-top, wall-mount,

expandable wall-mount, and rack-mount. Table-top models are available

with two or four circuits, AC outlets or dry contacts. All other models are

available in two- to sixteen-circuit configurations with dry contact outputs

rated up to 20 Amps. The SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION sheet

for your particular ChronTrol model is included with your unit.

Specification sheets for other types are available upon request. The features

and programming techniques described in this manual apply to all models

of the XT.

XT Features

The XT supports the following list of functions and programming features.

For complete operational descriptions of these functions, see Section 3:

Programming Procedures.

?Manual Operation. ChronTrol’s XT series is designed around its

advanced programming capabilities; however, you can manually

override programmed settings through the keyboard without waiting for

or disturbing programmed operations.

?Advanced Programming. The XT’s advanced programming features

open the door to many exciting possibilities. Through the XT

keyboard, you can enter up to 40 programs. Each program has a

unique number which identifies it when entering, reviewing, or

changing its settings. Programs can be set to control circuits, inputs,

even other programs. These are referred to as Control Assignments.

Control Assignments can switch on and off on a daily or weekly

schedule, repeating at rates from two seconds to one year. They can

also switch on and off on specific dates, or one time only, responding to

either clock time or outside signals.

?Program Review, Verification, and Change. The XT allows you to

review, verify, and change any and all of its settings. You can review

individual programs and input settings. You can also review specific

information, such as the activity of a Control Assignment, and the

programs or inputs to which it is assigned.

?Day Omission. The XT’s programming flexibility allows you to enter

programs that execute on a regular schedule yet automatically omit

specified days of the week, for example Saturday and Sunday.

?Holidays. Holidays can occur on any day of the year. The XT allows

you to create your own Holiday List. You may then specify, within each

program, whether or not that program will execute on the days you’ve

included in your Holiday List.

?Functions. Two special functions are provided for your convenience:

Daylight Saving Time (Function 1), which adjusts the Time of Day

clock by one hour; and Sequence Start (Function 2), which controls the

ChronTrol XT Series Timers

User's Guide 7

rate at which circuits are restored to the ON position following a power

failure.

?Inputs. On XT models equipped with the N8 Input Option (see

SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION sheet), programs, circuits,

and inputs can be switched based on external conditions. Through the

input connector, devices such as temperature and light detectors can be

connected to the XT. You may then specify that certain programs or

circuits be switched by a signal from these external devices. You can

program an input to ignore external signals as well.

?Locking Keyboard. The XT provides a locking keyboard. With a

user-programmable Lock Code, you can prevent unauthorized access to

the XT keyboard.

?Power Fail Protection. The Time of Day continues to operate, with

crystal accuracy, during power failure. A nine-volt battery keeps the

clock operating and protects the system memory to prevent the loss of

stored programs. When power returns, all ON and OFF times are

saved. Outputs are switched to the proper positions for the current

time, in sequence or all at once.

?Countdown Timer. The XT can count down the hours, minutes, and

seconds for any event you specify, such as the execution of a program or

the switching of a circuit.

Physical Description

The following sections describe the physical characteristics of the XT

controller and define the function of each.

The XT Display

The XT’s display serves two functions: ordinarily it displays the current

Time of Day in hours, minutes, and seconds, but during programming it

confirms entries and reviews previous settings. Figure 1 illustrates the XT

Display and Indicators.
