DIP switch #6 is to allow for an automatic shoulder charge period for devices controlled by the relays on the transceiver. When in the “on” position, the transceiver has a built in timer that starts timing when it receives a peak signal from the power company’s control device. It times for 5 hours and then allows a shoulder charge period (anticipated peak) for 4 hours. After four hours of shoulder charge, the peak period is resumed until an off-peak or anticipated peak signal is received from the control device.
To enable the shoulder charge timers, turn DIP switch #6 to the ON position.
ON | = | Shoulder Charge Enabled |
OFF | = | Shoulder Charge Disabled |
