captive screws in an assembly. Mount on a relay as indicated.

Adding a Second Deck to a Single-Deck Relay:

7.1 Loosen cover screws A, Figure 1. Remove cover.
7.2 Remove and discard red cross bar and cross bar screw B from
relay. See Figure 1.
7.3 Position the second deck block on the single-deck relay. Con-

To Set Time Delay (Timer must be mounted on relay):
13.1 Adjust to time setting desired using calibration of approximate
scale. Full traverse of the red time-setting indicator, Figure 6,
requires about 6 revolutions of the knob. Do not turn knob to
move red indicator beyond end limits of scale.
13.2 Verify actual timing.
On-Delay: Push in and hold central drive screw E.
Off-Delay: Push in and release central drive screw E.
