Question / Problem

How do I program the ET70000 Series Timer for a single specific day?

Common Application / Operating Conditions

Use this procedure when programming a schedule that applies to one specific day of the week, or when each day needs a different ON and OFF time. Programming only affects the circuits that are enabled during setup.

Step-by-Step Resolution

  1. Start in RUN

    Move the RUN/SET switch to RUN before enabling or disabling circuits.

  2. Select Circuits to Program

    Enable only the circuits you want to schedule. Disable all circuits that should not operate.

  3. Enter Programming Mode

    Move the RUN/SET switch to SET to begin programming.

  4. Open the Programming Menu

    Press PROG to begin entering events.

  5. Select the Day to Program

    Press the key that corresponds to the day you want to program:

    SUN/1, MON/2, TUE/3, WED/4, THU/5, FRI/6, SAT/7

  6. Confirm the Selected Day

    Press OK to lock in the day selection.

  7. Enter the ON Time

    Select how the ON time will be determined:

    • For sunset-based ON time, press ASTRO until “SUNSET” appears.
    • For a fixed ON time, enter the time and press AM or PM.

  8. Confirm the ON Time

    Press OK to save the ON event.

  9. Enter the OFF Time

    Select how the OFF time will be determined:

    • For sunrise-based OFF time, press ASTRO until “SUNRISE” appears.
    • For a fixed OFF time, enter the time and press AM or PM.

  10. Confirm the OFF Time

    Press OK to save the OFF event.

  11. Add Additional Events

    If more ON/OFF pairs are needed for that day, repeat the programming steps.

  12. Program Additional Days (If Needed)

    Press PROG again and repeat the steps to program other days individually.

  13. Save the Schedule

    Move the RUN/SET switch back to RUN to activate all programmed events.

Tips / Additional Notes

  • You can assign a unique schedule to each day of the week.
  • Use ASTRO mode if you want the ON or OFF event to follow sunrise or sunset automatically.
  • Always confirm AM or PM when entering fixed times.

Troubleshooting

  • Program did not save: Confirm the switch was returned to RUN after programming.
  • Wrong day operates: Ensure you pressed the correct day key before entering ON/OFF times.
  • Unexpected ON/OFF times: Check for overlapping events and verify AM/PM entries.
