A timer that... Never forgets, even after a power failure. Is smarter & more reliable than mechanical timers. Doesn't need costly repairs or hard-to-find parts.

The Penguin timer is pre-wired.... attaches easily to any electrical device such as a water heater or lighting. You won't even notice it's there. Tamper-proof enclosure allows meter seals to ensure security. Customers cannot change settings. Optional override switch available. Eliminates need for radio transmitters or receivers. Requires a PC only to program the timer... nothing fancy. Cycles up to 4 times a day. Automatic summer & winter changeover. Works year after year without resetting.

Set the timer in your office or shop. We provide a DOS diskette for this - all you need is a PC. Minimal computer expertise required.

Up to four cycle times per day, with weekday and weekend settings. Summer and winter schedules change automatically. Special random cycle start times avoid lashback!

Penguin can control your water heaters, air conditioners, thermal storage units or other devices for maximum reduction of peak demand loads. You can also use Penguin in conjunction with an off-peak or TOU rate to move KW use to off peak.

The Penguin Load Management Timer avoids peak demand. You will see immediate on-peak load reductions from your very first installation!

Features & Benefits

LED - Two color LEDs indicate when controller has load turned on or off.
Ten Years of Accumulated Carryover During Power Outage No batteries required. Real-time clock/RAM module with integral zero-maintenance battery retains all control functions following any power loss. Ten-year guaranteed data retention/timekeeping operation upon loss of power.
Four Time Settings - Loads can be controlled during peak hours, morning and/or afternoon.
Winter-Summer Settings - Different schedules available for winter and summer, with automatic seasonal changeover.
Weekday Control Choices - Allows different control strategies, including load-on, load-off or load-duty cycle. You have maximum flexibility to meet load management requirements.
Weekend Settings - Saturday and/or Sunday may be on, off or controlled similar to the weekday schedule.
Daylight Savings Time Adjustment and Leap Year CorrectionOccurs automatically and updates from year to year.
Real-Time Clock - Has 100-year calendar.
Flexible Cycle Times - Duty cycle times can run from 1 to 99 minutes.
Anti-"Lashback" Feature - The controller can be programmed with a randomized or fixed time-delay cycle start time to avoid lashback among the controllers in service. Fixed time delays are selectable from 0 minutes (no time delay) to 99 minutes.
OFF Time Guarantee - Minimum off time can run from 0 to 99 minutes. This ensures delay protection for A/C compressors.
Industry Standard - UL and C-UL (Canada) listed energy management equipment Standard 916. FCC certified class B Part 15 Subpart J.
Optional Override Switch - Allows customer to restore load for up to 99 minutes.
No User Programming Required - Programming is done by utility using an IBM PC or compatible computer with serial port.
DOS Friendly - Single-screen DOS software lets programmer upload and download configurations to timer using one button. Settings are easily confirmed at a glance. Configurations can be saved to disk and read from disk.
Simple Interface - Four-wire programming cable is provided by Brayden Automation Corporation.
Simple Wiring - Module is pre-wired with 18" leads to simplify installation.
Controlled Access - Tamper-proof design is programmable only by utility, not by customers.

Two types of Penguin timers are available: the standard model, shown at right with cover opened, and the model with optional override switch.

The Penguin Load Timer is an electronic time control designed for use with utility load management of 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 timer consists of a microcontroller, a real-time clock module, support circuitry, an RS-232 interface and a 35-amp power relay.
