Typically, a jammed up B506 or B856 Series timer has experienced a spike in voltage or other damage to the unit resulting in the chip to scrambling. In this event, try pressing the 1 and 4 simultaneously along with power up. The unit will go thru a hard re-boot. When this is complete, press all of the keys and it will finish the process. Then, re-power the unit. If the issue persists, we  recommend replacing the unit and protecting the voltage line to the timer for the future. 

The battery in the Eagle Signal CX Series timer is soldered in and designed to NOT be replaced. However, the RAYOVAC BR2325T3V or PANASONIC BR2325-1VG batteries are commonly used once the timer warranty has ended.

It is most important to make the following considerations when selecting a timer relay for your application:

• Contacts are generally rated for 5 to 10amp resistive loads, and can often be supplied with solid state output contacts for lower level switching applications.
• Timing function options include but are not limited to: on-delay, off-delay, and interval/one-shot modes.
• Most models are designed to plug into a socket or other standard connection system, thus allowing for prewiring of the connections and insertion of the timer relay when ready.
• Timing values may be set by an analog dial and knob, digitally with a keypad, with dipswitches, jumpers, thumbwheels, or other simple means.
• Fixed timing values are common for use in applications where timing set points are not expected or intended to be adjustable.
• They are small in size and offer unequalled performance in their role while using minimal panel space.
