Programming the Max Model
Powering Units With Controllers
By default, units with controllers are set to
operate in a timed mode with 1 minute of
ON time and 8 hours of OFF time. The unit
should be powered up in OFF mode,
counting down from the 8 hours. If the unit powers up in
ON mode and has not been primed, hold the reset but-
ton located on the control panel (example shown on the
right) for 1 second to move to the OFF mode.
NOTE:
• A blinking number on the display indicates the G3 is
in SETUP MODE.
• In RUN MODE numbers on the display do not blink.
• After 60 seconds of no activity, the device returns to
RUN MODE in the OFF Time cycle and the OFF
Time restarts counting down the total programmed
amount of time. It does not resume the countdown
from the point where the cycle was interrupted when
you entered SETUP MODE.
Entering Setup Mode
Press both the UP and DOWN
ARROW buttons together for 3
seconds to enter the SETUP
MODE.
NOTE: If the lock LED is
lit after entering Setup
Mode and four 0000’s
are displayed, the unit
has a PIN Code lock out
enabled. See the follow-
ing section: Entering a
PIN Code to Access
Setup Mode.
Entering a PIN Code to Access Setup Mode
The G3 controller does not require a user to provide a
PIN code to access the programming features of the
unit. However, Graco understands that some users may
want to protect the programming settings and therefore,
an option for adding PIN Code authorization is available.
The instructions for setting up PIN Code Authorization
are provided in the Advanced Programming section of
this manual. See page 46.
To enter the PIN Code:
1. Press both the UP and
DOWN ARROW buttons for 3
seconds.
2. The LED next to the LOCK ICON on
the display lights and the 4 zeros
appear on the display indicating the
system requires a PIN Code entry to run the G3 in
SETUP MODE.
3. The cursor is automatically
positioned to enter the first
character of the PIN Code.
Use the UP and DOWN
ARROW buttons to move up
and down through the numbers 0-9 until the first
number in the PIN code is displayed in the field.
4. Press the ENTER button to set the num-
ber. The cursor automatically moves to
the next number field.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each PIN Code prompt
field.
If the PIN Code you entered is correct, the first editable
character on the display will flash.
NOTE: A blinking field on the display indicates the G3 is
in SETUP MODE. In RUN MODE numbers on the dis-
play will not blink.
