Programming the PC101S/102S is limited to:

A) Allowing loads to alternate at the end of each cycle or:
B) Selecting a fixed cycle where the lead/lag/second lag order is fixed.

Programming Mode (PC101S/PC102S):

To enter programming mode, hold "MODE and SELECT SWITCHES" until all LEDs light up. After 5 seconds, the LED test will go off, and the program LED will be on.

ALT MODE: The LEAD LED will be lit, and "P1" or "P2" LEDs will indicate what mode is active.
1. ALTERNATION ON: P1 and P2 LEDs will toggle.
2. P1 IS LEAD: P1 LED will light.
3. P2 IS LEAD: P2 LED will light. Press "SELECT" to scroll through the alternation settings. To exit program mode, press the "MODE SWITCH".

Programming Mode (PC103S):

To enter programming mode, hold "MODE and SELECT SWITCHES" until all LEDs light up. After 5 seconds, the LED test will go off, and the program LED will be on.

ALT MODE: The LEAD LED will be lit, and "P1", "P2", or "P3" LEDs will indicate what mode is active.
1. ALTERNATION ON: P1, P2, and P3 LEDs will toggle.
2. P1 IS LEAD: P1 LED will light.
3. P2 IS LEAD: P2 LED will light.
4. P3 IS LEAD: P3 LED will light. Press "SELECT" to scroll through the alternation settings. To exit program mode, press the "MODE SWITCH".

Important Warranty Information:

Sensors and cables that have been used in wastewater or hazardous liquids must be thoroughly cleaned before returning. Units returned unclean will be considered unrepairable and returned to the sender or discarded. Do not submerge units for cleaning with cable cut or removed. This will allow cleaning fluid to enter housing, damaging electronics and voiding the warranty.

Return status can be determined upon factory inspection of returned equipment. A completed Return Authorization form must accompany all items returned for repair. Repairs will be evaluated as quickly as possible. Cost for non-warranty repairs will be provided to the customer for approval prior to any work being performed.

Return Authorization Form:

The form requires the user's company name and address, phone number to contact for information, reason for return, possible cause of problem, and details regarding sensor and cable installation (to ensure proper handling in case liquid has entered the sensor body). It also includes sections for urgency of repair, calibration desired for sensor or meter, PO number for non-warranty repairs, and M.S.D.S. if applicable.

Important Note for Returns:

Please pack in anti-static protection suitable for sensitive electronic devices.
