20 On/Off Programs (40 optional)
     Assign up to 20 independent programs, each with independent On and Off times, in any combination to the (up to four) individual circuits. Settings are made to the second from the keyboard, with AM/PM selection. Each program has individual cycle length and day-of-the-week omission settings.

Cycle Length
     Any program can be set to repeat, or Cycle, anywhere from once every 2 seconds (1 second on, 1 second off) to once a year. This feature can be used to simulate photoperiodic variation (to adjust for daily changes in the times of sunrise and sunset) and for short interval repetitive operations.

Day Omission
     Programmed operations can be selectively omitted on any day or days of the week, including holidays.

Calendar Operations
     ChronTrol's versatile calendar compensates for leap years and can be programmed for any number of holidays. On/Off programs may be set for specific dates.

Daylight Saving Time
     ChronTrol's real-time clock moves forward or backward one hour at Daylight Saving Time, automatically.

Countdown Timer
     ChronTrol's display can be set to show, in hours, minutes and seconds, the time remaining until the occurrence of any of its programmed events.

Easy Verification
• Audible Keyboard Entry Entries made through the front panel keyboard are acknowledged with an audible tone for each key.
• Next Program Program numbers can be assigned in any order, or ChronTrol will choose the next available program automatically.
• Cross-Review feature allows the user to find out immediately what program or programs control any given circuit.

Manual Override
    Any circuit can be switched On or Off immediately without waiting for or disturbing programmed operations.

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 occurrences of On and Off events are accounted for, and outputs are switched to the proper positions for the current time, in sequence or all at once.

Inputs
    Timers equipped with inputs can perform timing sequences that are synchronized or triggered by contact closures, and they can switch circuits On and Off based on external conditions. As many as 8 inputs can be wired to detectors, pushbuttons, or automatic equipment through a convenient rear panel connector.

Use as an Interval Timer
     Set up to 40 independent timing operations at once. Durations are set in hours, minutes and, if desired, seconds, from one second through one year. Timing intervals can be triggered and re-triggered through the keyboard, or by any of the 8 available inputs, or by other operational programs. Timing intervals can be set to repeat at any rate from two seconds (one second on, one second off) to one year.

Serial Communications
     All programming information and procedures can be accessed and performed via computer terminal through ChronTrol's RS-232 serial communication port. Or, by attaching a modem to this port, programming can by performed remotely over the telephone to facilitate centralized control.

Number of On/Off Programs
     20, or optionally 40, each assignable to any or all outputs. Each On/Off program includes the setting of:

• ON time (AM or PM, to the second)
• OFF time (AM or PM, to the second) (ON and OFF times can be set to occur on a specific date within the next 12 months)
• Cycle length (from 2 seconds to one year)
• Day Omission (inhibits program operations on any day or combination of days within the week, including holidays)

Optional interval timing
     Each On/Off program can be made an interval timer by specifying a duration of time instead of specifying an On or Off time. Durations can be set from one second through one year.

Display
     .56'' continuous LED display of time-of-day or program information.
