When a contact closure occurs, the system will activate the appropriate relay for the programmed period of time.
TIME CLOCK
You may install a timer or clock to the Mini-Key system to be used in conjunction with the time clock feature. This
timer or clock must provide a floating
contact closure (a floating contact closure is a contact closure that is not
grounded). To install a timer or clock, refer to Figure 10.

WARNING: Any clock or timer that is connected to the Mini-key system must provide a floating
contact
closure. If the clock or time does not provide a floating contact closure, there is a very
strong chance that the clock will "burn-out" the circuit board, and may start a fire. Any use
of these devices will also void any Sentex warranty. If your clock or timer plugs directly
into an AC power source and it has an AC output terminal, it does not provide a floating
contact closure and should not be used with the Mini-Key system.
