BEFORE USE
The microprocessor and internal software used in this Lab Controller are the most
advanced technology available. The Lab Controller is designed for intuitive use. We
are certain you will be pleased with the ease of operation. Please read through these
instructions completely and execute all of the examples.
ALARMS
Visual– The visual alarm is a fast flashing light in the channel which is alarming.
Audible– The audible alarm is one beep for the TIMER 1 channel, two beeps for the
TIMER 2 channel, and three beeps for the TIMER 3 channel. The OUTLET channel
alarms for two seconds when switching from ON to OFF, or OFF to ON.
Note: If two or more timers are alarming at the same time, the unit will sound the
highest timer number’s alarm. For example, if TIMER 3 and 2 are both alarming, you
will hear TIMER 3 (three beeps) until you press C or START/STOP to turn off the
alarm, you will then hear TIMER 2 (two beeps) until you turn off the alarm.
ALARM VOLUME
To adjust the alarm volume, turn the alarm volume adjustment screw located on the
left side of the case clockwise to decrease the volume, counter-clockwise to increase
the volume. The key-click (sound when a key is pressed) is also controlled by this
adjustment screw. To completely prevent the alarm from sounding, cover the sound
transducer hole located on the bottom of the unit.
DIGITAL DISPLAY AND LIGHTS
On the digital display, the two digits to the left indicate hours, the middle two digits
indicate minutes, the two digits to the right indicate seconds.
A slow blinking channel light (TIMER 1,2,3, OUTLET, CALCULATOR, CLOCK)
indicates which channel is being displayed. A steady (non-blinking) channel light
indicates a channel is actively timing but is not being displayed. A fast blinking channel
light indicates the channel is alarming.
S M T W T F S lights indicate the day of the week. PM, when lit, indicates PM.
OUTLET ON, when lit, indicates the electrical outlet receptacle is ON, except in the
OUTLET channel. In the OUTLET channel, it indicates programmed On/Off times and
does not necessarily indicate the actual On/Off status of the electrical outlet
receptacle. This feature permits entering outlet time settings without repeatedly turning
equipment on and off.
KEYS
CHANNEL SELECT
Each press of this key advances the display to the next channel.
START/STOP (=)
Each press of this key starts or stops timing. It also recalls the last countdown time
entered into memory. When the alarm is sounding this key may be used to turn off the
alarm. In the CALCULATOR channel this key is equals.
REPEAT (Å)
Each press of this key causes the timing to be constantly repeated. In the
CALCULATOR channel this key performs metric to U.S. conversions.
OUTLET REVIEW (Æ)
In the OUTLET channel this key reviews the outlet On/Off times. In the CALCULATOR
channel this key performs U.S. to metric conversions.
AM/PM (+)
In the OUTLET and CLOCK channels this key sets the time to AM or PM. In the
CALCULATOR channel this key performs addition.
OUTLET SET (—)
In the OUTLET channel this key stores in memory the outlet On/Off time. In the
CALCULATOR channel this key performs subtraction.
DAY (X)
In the OUTLET and CLOCK channel this key sets the correct day of the week. In the
CALCULATOR channel this key performs multiplication.
OUTLET ON/OFF ( / )
This key switches the outlet light to on or off. In the CALCULATOR channel this key
performs division.
TRACEABLE ® LAB CONTROLLER INSTRUCTIONS
C (correction)
Each press of this key erases the current entry or turns off a sounding alarm. In the
CALCULATOR channel this key sets the decimal place.
0 through 9 & U.S. (ÅÆ) Metric Conversions
The numeric keys enter numbers on the display. In the CALCULATOR channel the
U.S. (ÅÆ) Metric keys perform specific conversions.
OPERATION
CLOCK channel
Plug the Lab Controller into a 125 volt AC, 50/60 Hz. outlet. The display will flash
12:00:00. Press C twice. Enter the correct time-of-day on the display using the number
keys (example: 5:15 PM would be entered 5,1,5,0,0). Press the AM/PM key until PM is
lighted for PM, or not lighted for AM, and enter the correct day-of-the-week by pressing
the DAY key until the proper day is lighted. Press the START/STOP key to start the
clock running.
TIMER 1, 2, and 3 channels
All three channels have identical timing functions of count down, count up, time-out
memory and repeat. Timing capacity is 100 hours in I second increments.
After entering or stopping a time, the time displayed will be retained even if you
change channels. This means that pre-programmed times may be entered in these
channels without starting the countdown sequence.
COUNTDOWN – In the TIMER 1 channel, when the display reaches zero during
countdown, the audible alarm sounds one repeating beep and the TIMER 1 light blinks
rapidly, both turn off automatically after ten seconds. The TIMER 2 channel (two
beeps) and the TIMER 3 channel (three beeps) are identical, but the alarm sounds
and the channel light blinks continuously until manually turned off. To turn off an alarm,
press the C key or the START/STOP key regardless of which channel is being
displayed.
MEMORY COUNTDOWN – The memory feature recalls the last programmed time.
Once the countdown is completed, and the alarm is stopped, a single press of the
START/STOP key in the appropriate channel will recall the last countdown time. A
second press of the START/STOP key will begin the next countdown.
REPEAT COUNTDOWN – The repeat feature is the perfect solution when repetitive
signals at a constant time interval are required. When zero is reached, the original
programmed time is automatically placed in the display, and countdown automatically
begins again. This sequence will continue until START/STOP is pressed to stop timing
or C is pressed to clear the display.
COUNT-UP (STOPWATCH) – The stopwatch feature times to 100 hours in one
second increments, the display then automatically rolls over to zero and continues
timing.
TIME-OUT – The time-out feature for both count-up and countdown is achieve by
pressing the START/STOP key to stop timing and by pressing the START/STOP key
again to resume timing.
