Spec Sheet   Install Manual

The DTC-170 incorporates a LCD (liquid crystal display) which accurately displays the time of day in 24-hour format. There are 8 possible "on/off" combinations that can be programmed. For security purposes, the timer has an additional feature that allows for a random variation of 2 to 32 minutes for each "on" and "off" time from the actual time programmed. Adjusting for Daylight Savings Time can be done quickly and easily. The programming of the timer is maintained during power failures by an internal battery. When the DTC-170 is first installed, it is recommended that the battery be given an opportunity to charge for a few hours before attempting to program the timer.
