How to Create a Schedule on a 7 Day Programmable Timer

Overview

In this article you will learn how to create a schedule to hold the gate open on a 7 day programmable timer. The timer is able to hold up to 16 different schedules. The gate will open and be held open for the duration of the schedule, overriding the gate opener's auto close timer. The gate opener's auto close timer will close the gate once the schedule ends.
The gate will not close from remotes, keypads, or any other means of operation besides an emergency override until the timer's schedule has ended.

Set the "1 On" Time

The "1 On" time is when the gate will open and be held open. If you're setting up additional schedules beyond the first, press the TIMER key additional times until the timer displays "2 On", "3 On", etc..
  1. Press the TIMER key.
    1. The timer should display "1 On --:--"
  2. Press the DAY key until the desired days are displayed.
    1. The timer has 15 different day combinations
  3. Press the HOUR and MINUTE key to set the desired opening time.

Set the "1 Off" Time

The "1 Off" time is when the gate will stop being help open by the timer. The gate opener's auto close timer will count down and close the gate after this time passes.
  1. Press the TIMER key.
    1. The timer should display "1 Off --:--"
  2. Press the DAY key until the desired days are displayed
    1. Make sure to select the same days as the "1 On" time. Failure to do so will result in the schedule not working.
  3. Press the HOUR and MINUTE key to set the desired closing time.
  4. Press the TIMER key and then press the CLOCK key. The timer will now work on the set schedule
If the "1 On" time has already passed in the day, the timer will not work until the following scheduled day. If you want the timer to begin holding the gate open on the schedule immediately, you'll need to set the "1 On" time to be a couple minutes in the future. Once the time passes and the gate opens, go back to the "1 On" setting and change the time back to the desired opening time. The gate will close at the "1 Off" time and begin working on the proper schedule the following day.
