Models SS35, SS50 and SS100 M Automatic Timer Setting Instructions
Your Pro-Tech-Tor Electro-Mechanical 24-Hour Timer is combined with an easy-to-set solid-state Interval Timer, both housed in a weatherproof plastic Nema 3 enclosure, designed for long-term dependability.
Align the correct current time of day with the Time Arrow, located in center of timer on small black plate. Do this by rotating the 24-Hour Time Wheel counter-clockwise only. Watch out for AM morning settings versus PM night settings featured on the face of Timer Wheel.
For each "ON" Time required, swing out a lever on Timer Wheel at appropriate time selected, e.g. 8:00 AM. As the Timer Wheel rotates automatically, the swung out lever will trip the Micro-Switch located at bottom of timer wheel.
II. How to set the duration of the spray cycle:
Located at the bottom inside of Timer Box is the solid-state Interval Timer. Just rotate the knob on top to the correct number of seconds, e.g. 45 sec.

- For example, if your next selection is 10:30 AM, push HOUR/DATE button to 10:00 AM and your MIN/YEAR button to :30, time now reads 10:30 AM. Press SIG/SEC once, SIG 1 appears again in lower left corner of window. If satisfied, push ENTER. Timer window now reads 10:35 AM and is waiting for next on time setting.

6.SETTING THE LENGTH OF EACH SPRAY CYCLE
- Window now reads SIG 1 00. Now hold down SIG/SEC button until you reach desired length of each "ON" time. An average setting is 45 seconds. The system will spray at pre-selected "ON" times for 45 seconds and the spray system will shut off waiting for the next programmed "ON" time.
- Push ENTER. Now the window reads SIG 2 00. If you would like to utilize a shorter spray time for certain times of the day, for example 25 seconds for evening hour mosquito control, hold down SIG/SEC button until 25 seconds appears in window. Push ENTER. Push MODE. You are now set for automatic operation.
NOTE: If you want to use SIG 2 for shorter spray cycles at certain times of the day, push the MODE button three (3) times. This will put you back to the "ON" times you have already programmed. Sequence through these times by pushing the ENTER button repeatedly. Stop at an "ON" time you want to change from SIG 1 (45 seconds), to SIG 2 (25 seconds) and push the SIG/SEC button one time. Notice SIG 2 now appears in the lower left hand corner of the window. After any changes push the ENTER button to secure the change. Then push the MODE button four (4) times and you are back to automatic operation. If you forget to push the MODE button, your timer will automatically revert to automatic operation after five (5) minutes.
