DIP SWITCH 6: AUTOMATIC SHOULDER CHARGE
(Specialty Applications Only)
This dip switch allows for a shoulder charge period for the device controlled on
relay #1. Five (5) hours after a peak signal is received, relay #1 will close for
four (4) hours if the outdoor temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The
relay will then open again and will remain open until an off-peak or anticipated
peak signal is received. If an off-peak or anticipated peak signal is received
during the five hour period, the timer will reset.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING = OFF
Off = Shoulder charging disabled
On = Shoulder charging enabled
The duration of the delay and the outdoor temperature settings
are preset at the factory. If you have an application which
requires a change to these settings, please contact the factory.
DIP SWTICH 7: DEFAULT RELAY STATUS
This dip switch determines how the relay(s) will respond when the power line
carrier control system is first energized or if the mini receiver loses signal from
the transmitter.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING = OFF
Off = The relay(s) will open until a signal is received from the PLC
transmitter.
On = The relay(s) will close until a signal is received from the PLC
transmitter.
DIP SWITCH 8: PEAK CONTROL OVERRIDE
With the addition of the override module to the mini receiver, peak override of
some or all of the circuits is possible. Depending upon the position of this dip
switch, either all circuits in the mini receivers or just those connected to relays 1,
3, 5, and 6 can be used in 90-minute intervals during a peak control period, if
desired.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING = ON
Off = Circuits connected to relays 1, 3, 5, and 6 are enabled during a peak
control time when an override cycle is initiated.
On = All circuits in the mini receiver are enabled during a peak control
time when an override cycle is initiated.

DIP SWITCH 9: RELAY 3 AND 4 FUNCTION SELECTOR
(Six Pole Configurations Only)
This dip switch is used in conjunction with dip switch 6. If dip switch 6 is in
the on position, the position of dip switch 9 will determine how relays 3 and 4
will respond.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING = OFF
Off = Relays 3 and 4 will function like relay 2
On = Relays 3 and 4 will function like relay 1
DIP SWITCH 10: RELAY 5 AND 6 FUNCTION SELECTOR
(Six Pole Configurations Only)
This dip switch is used in conjunction with dip switch 6. If dip switch 6 is in
the on position, the position of dip switch 10 will determine how relays 5 and
6 will respond.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING = OFF
Off = Relays 5 and 6 will function like relay 2
On = Relays 5 and 6 will function like relay 1
INSTALLER’S FINAL CHECK OUT PROCEDURE
_____1. Prior to energizing the electrical circuit feeding the mini receiver,
inspect all field installed electrical connections to ensure they are tight
and that all wires are routed correctly. All line voltage wiring must
remain below and in front of the line voltage barrier inside the mini
receiver. To ensure proper communication with the PLC transmitter,
the mini receiver must be grounded.
____2. Check the settings of the dip switches on the mini receiver board to
ensure they are in the correct positions for the application.
The desired PLC channel MUST be selected for communication to
occur.
_____3. Check to ensure that the red indicator light on the mini receiver circuit
board is illuminated continuously indicating communication is
occurring between the transmitter and the mini receiver.
Communications between the transmitter and the mini
receiver occur on a continuous basis. Upon energizing a
system, there will be some delay in a receiver’s response to
transmitter signals. It takes approximately seven (7)
minutes for the transmitter to establish initial
communication. Subsequent communication will occur
more rapidly.
____ 4. Once good communication is established, verify that the mini receiver
responds correctly to the corresponding utility peak signal status. The
amber indicator light will illuminate when the relay(s) are closed and
should remain off when the relay(s) are open.
