FEATURES & BENEFITS

96-Hour Carryover, unique to Paragon, protects scheduled events from power interruptions via a capacitor-more reliable than batteries.
Resolution enhancements allow 4 user-defined duty cycle patterns; 4 user-defined durations are available from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.
ON/OFF events can be controlled by temperature, light or other sensors.
Enabler switch allows an ON event to be selected without pre-programming the event.
Pecosoft.EL software and CIMI Adaptor (each sold separately) allow remote programmability.
User-friendly keypad and easy-to-read digital time display take the frustration out of programming.
Remote override allows immediate reaction to unexpected events without affecting pre-programming or visiting the clock site.
UL and CSA listed means quality and durability are built into every time control.
Title 24 certified.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Operating Temperature Range: -20°F (-29°C) to 140°F (60°C)
Operating Humidity: 10-90%RH non-condensing
The EL74, EL78 and EL712 should be mounted indoors in an environment that is free of excessive contaminants such as oil, moisture and dirt.

HOW TO SPECIFY
Installer shall furnish and install Paragon EL74, EL78 Eight Channel (or EL712 Twelve Channel) Electronic Time Control. The control shall have 24-hour, 7-day, 365-day or SunTracker™ capability with 128 events available. It shall also have 4 user-definable durations and duty cycle lengths plus automatic daylight saving time and leap year adjustments. Control shall have remote override capabilities (timed, toggle or enable type). Control shall have keyboard override until overridden again or until next event is reached. It shall be capable of switching loads based on user-definable temperature and light levels with 32 events available. Control shall have momentary (latching relay) capability and shall have Astro features plus 30 definable holidays and 6 pre-programmed holidays. Control shall provide 2 days of power outage carry-over without a battery. Control shall provide 10 years of power outage protection with a battery. The digital time display shall be 3/4” in height. Clock format shall be selectable, allowing a choice of 12 hour (AM/PM) or 24 hour format. Control shall be capable of interfacing (sending and receiving data) with a personal computer. Power input terminals shall have the capability to accommodate #12 to #18 AWG wire. Control shall be housed in a NEMA 1, lockable steel enclosure, to guard against vandalism or tampering.

UL Listed, CSA certified and complies with FCC, part 15 rules.
Output Switch Rating
Four, Eight or Twelve SPDT relays with contacts rated as follows:
Normally open contacts:
20 amp resistive or inductive at 24-277 Vac
1 Hp at 120 Vac
2 Hp at 208-277 Vac
5 amp tungsten at 120-240 Vac
20 amp ballast at 120 Vac
10 amp ballast at 208-277 Vac
470 VA at 120-240 Vac
Normally closed contacts:
10 amp resistive or inductive at 24-277 Vac
1/4 Hp at 120 Vac
1/2 Hp at 208-277 Vac
