Next Back Click for Index. Quick Tech Tips: 1— If you are going to use the AMS-1000 in time based or shift input mode(not GPS) you will need to supply switched 12 volts to terminal number 1. This input will need to be turned on and off. Think of it like this, when the switch is off(not supplying 12 volts to terminal number 1) the AMS-1000 is in PROGRAM mode, allowing you to make changes to the program.
