2. General Information
• This PC software may be used to configure different switching functions as well as logical operations of the inputs.
• In the delivery condition, the operating mode „Power surge switch“ is preset.
• Data transfer to the multifunction timer is performed via the Voltcraft USB programming cable (Conrad item no. 197339).
• The data interface serves only parameter transmission. It must not be connected to a computer during operation.
The PC software is available free of charge at www.conrad.com in the download area for the „MFT1816“ (supported operating systems: Windows
XP and higher)

matter), switching, e.g, via buttons

operating mode or time setting)
Timer time 10 s.....30 min
(0....98% rotating range)
PC mode (98....100% rotating area)
The Voltcraft USB-programming cable (Conrad item no. 197339) is needed for data transfer. It must be connected to the J3-connection
of the multifunction timer.
Configuration by PC-software is performed in the potentiometer range of 98…100% (display by flashing LED „STAT“).
Switching of an input is explained in these operating instructions using the illustrated buttons. A pushed button is defined as a positive
level. Since these are optocoupler inputs, only one current flow is decisive for switching. The polarity is irrelevant for this.

4. Installation of the PC Software
The installation programme is started via the file „MFT1816_Setup.exe“.
All other instructions are displayed via the installation programme.
The installation software suggests „MFT1816“ as target directory for installation and copies all the data needed into the selected directory. The
installation programme also creates a programme group „MFT1816“ under „Programmes“ and a link on the desktop.

6
5. Operation of the PC Software
After the first programme start of the PC-software, a dialogue window appears
in which the language and communications port (COM port) are determined.
The settings in this window are saved with „OK“ and can later be changed via
„Setup“.
The correct communications interface („Silicon Labs CP210xUSB to UARTBrid-
ge…“) in Windows is found in the control panel in the device manager,
„Connections (COM & LPT)“.
The button „Refresh“ refreshes the list of the communications interfaces.
If the setting window is closed by „Cancel“, data transfer is not possible.
Selection and Transmission of a Function:
After confirmation of the language and COM port settings, the programme offers
a selection of different switching functions.
After transferring of the desired settings, the Voltcraft USB programming cable
must be disconnected from the multifunction timer. The device now performs
the desired function as described in the following section.

multifunction timer
Terminate programme
Selection of the switching function type via tabs
Selection of the switching function and the
associated settings
Button „Transfer Settings“ configures the
connected Multifunction timer „MFT1816“ with
the selected settings of the current tab

6. Available Functions
a) Staircase Lighting Timer
General:
• The maximum time that can be set for the staircase lighting timer by the PC software is 90 minutes.
• The service function or pre-warning function can be added optionally.
• If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed for a short time, a positive level is pending. The relay is activated at once.
When the button at the input „SET“ is released again, the relay remains activated for the set time T1.
• The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output.
Optional functions (only for
staircase light machine)
Selection of the switching function type via the
tab „Staircase Lighting Timer“
Selection of the activation time in the format
„HH:MM:SS“
Selection of the switching function when the
button is pushed again
Button „Transfer Settings“ configures the
connected Multifunction timer „MFT1816“ as
staircase lighting timer

Options for the Staircase Light ing Timer
1. „Activation Time Extension“
If the relay is already activated, another push of the button at the input „SET“ resets the activation duration to the set value.
2. „Early Shut-Down“
If the relay is already activated, another push of the button at the input „SET“ deactivates the relay output at once.
3. „Short Push of the Button: Time Extension, Long Push of the Button (>3s): Immediate Shut-Down“
If the relay is already activated, another short push of the button (<3 s) at the input „SET“ resets the set activation duration.
Long operation of the button (>=3 s) directly switches off the relay output.

Additional functions
1. Prewarning function
Pre-warning structure:
After the end of the selected function with the set activation time T1, a 30-second pre-warning time T2 is attached. The relay swtiches off for a
short time three times at reducing intervals within a pre-warning period T2. This deactivates the relay output.
If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed during the pre-warning function, the respective associated action is performed. When the pre-warning
function selected, this is also done when the service function is ended. No other function is performed in such cases.
The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.
2. Service Function
The button at the input „SET“ must be kept pushed for >5 seconds (requirement: The relay is deactivated). Then the relay output is activated for
the duration of 60 minutes.
Pushing the button again during the 60 minutes deactivates the relay output.
If the „Pre-warning function“ is set additionally, the warning sequence is added before the end of the time as described before.
After termination or end of the service function, the assembly is operational again as staircase light machine.
The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.

b) Delay Functions
1. „Switch-Off Delay“
If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed for a short time, a positive level is pending. The relay is activated at once.
When the button at the input „SET“ is released again, the relay remains activated for the set deactivation delay T1. If the button at the input „SET“
is pushed again during this time, this does not affect the set deactivation delay (timer time T1).
The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.
2. „Switch-Off Delay Resettable“
If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed for a short time, a positive level is pending. The relay is activated at once.
When the button at the input „SET“ is released again, the relay remains activated for the set deactivation delay T1. If the button at the input „SET“
is pushed again during this time, this will start the set deactivation delay T1 again.
The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.
3. „Switch-On Delay“
If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed, a positive level is pending. The relay is only activated if the button is kept pushed for longer than the
activation delay time set as T1.
The relay is deactivated at once if the button at the input „SET“ is released.
The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.
