Zip-Set Quick Set-up
Zip-set Technology "Sunset Auto on" is easy to program. The clock is set at the factory to the (212) Eastern time zone so you just need to enter
your area code before using. The timer will automatically adjust for your location to turn your appliances and lighting on at sunset. Your SA 300 will
automatically adjust to the changing sunset times as the year progresses.
Your program settings are protected by the integrated back-up battery; even with brown-outs or black-outs, the Zip-set will store settings and turn
your lights and appliances correctly on at sunset once the electric current resumes.
