Real-Time Clock Has a 100-year calendar (1991-2090) and is Year 2000 compatible.
Flexible Cycle Times Duty cycle times can run from 1 to 99 minutes.
Anti-"Lashback" Feature The Penguin includes a cold load pickup feature which can be programmed with a randomized start time to avoid
"lashback" or "payback". A fixed time delay is also selectable from 0 minutes (no time delay) to 99 minutes. Promotes natural load diversity. |
The Penguin Load Timer is an electronic time
control designed specifically for electric utility load management or time-of-use programs.
Operating on a weekly schedule, the controller accommodates different schedules
for summer and winter.
Once programmed, it will operate perpetually
without requiring updating. The Penguin consists of a microcontroller, a real-time
clock module, support circuitry, an RS-232 interface and a 35-amp power
relay. |
OFF Time Guarantee
Minimum OFF time can run from 0 to 99 minutes. This ensures delay
protection for A/C compressors.

Standard 916. FCC certified Class B Part 15 Subpart J.
Override Switch Allows customer to restore load for a specified
time-programmable for 0 to 99 minutes.
No User Programming Required Programming is done by utility using an IBM PC or compatible
computer with a serial port.
DOS/WIN friendly
