Flexcharge™ Programmable Timer

The Flexcharge™ Real Time Programmable Timer is a 24 hour, 8 event ON, 8 event OFF clock based programmable 8A load controller. Multiple load ON and load OFF times are programmed into this real time clock controller. Each day can be programmed with its own unique timing pattern. Eight ON and eight OFF events can be programmed independently. Example, Use one ON event to have a light come on at 7 pm every day then use seven different OFF events to turn the light OFF at a different time each day. This controller may be used in conjunction with the Flexcharge NCxxLxx or Night Watchman to have the load come ON at dusk then shut OFF at a pre-programmed time and even turn back on before morning and then OFF at dawn.

Features

• Internal battery maintains clock and programmed memory for up to 3 yeas with no external power. (The battery will not operate the timer)
• Consumes less than 5 mA in standby mode.
• Drives up to 8A inductive Loads (motors, lights with ballasts) or 16 A Resistive Loads. Expandable with an external relay.
• Isolated relay contacts allow user to directly control up to 240 VAC Loads
• Reverse Polarity Protected
• Manual override allows the user to manually turn the load ON and OFF as desired
• Easy to Use Terminal Block for simple installation.•Easy programming of timer functions. Reset button to wipe out all settings if desired.

The clock circuit of the timer must have 12 volts to operate it but the timer will switch any voltage up to 240 VAC. Because the clock only draws 5 mA in standby and 45 mA when the load is ON, you can operate the timer from a 12 volt battery in the system but then switch any higher voltage. This works well on a 24 volt system Contact us for additional alternative methods of operating the timer on higher voltages or custom short or flashing ON times.

Note the minimum ON time is 60 seconds. We offer a accessory control board that can have an ON time of one second to 60 minutes with just one ON function from the timer.
