For your safety
Warning!
Carefully read and observe the following im-
ortant safety information. In order to avoid an
electric shock:
Position the device in a suitable lace to ensure
that it is not ex osed to water (from condensation
or falling into water).
Info
WALTRON recommends making "dri loo s" in
the converter cables to revent water (condensa-
tion) from running along the cable to the converter
or outlet.
Notice!
Make sure that all cables:
• have no kinks in them,
• are not routed over shar edges,
• cannot be jammed or snagged,
and cannot come into contact with hot surfaces
(> 60 °C).
Warning!
If you notice that the ower cable is damaged,
disconnect the device from mains ower su ly
immediately. Contact an authorized daytime
®
ser-
vice artner or the manufacturer (WALTRON
GmbH) directly.
Warning!
If the o erating device's ower cable or second-
ary cable(s) are damaged, they must be re aired,
either by an authorized daytime
®
service artner
or directly by the manufacturer.
Never use a device which has a damaged or de-
fective ower cable (o erating device).
Warning!
Never o en or re air the o erating devices and
lights by yourself. Do not make any changes
which are not described in these o erating in-
structions. The o erating device contains live
(current-carrying) arts (with 230 V AC). A fatal
injury can result from an o ened device.
Re airs may only be made by authorized day-

1. Setup and initial usage
Install the daytime SC16 app (download and instructions can be found at www.daytime.de).
All electrical connections and components (except for the power plug) should be connect-
ed according to the following examples. Observe any relevant safety instructions!
Exam le with one converter and one daytime
®
matrix light, with an out ut of max. 240 watts:
Exam le with one converter, one two-way s litter (o tionally available), and two daytime
®
matrix
lights, with a total out ut of max. 240 watts:

Exam le with multi le converters, SEM16 erformance extension modules three-channel for ma-
trix (o tionally available) and multi le daytime
®
matrix lights, each with an out ut of max. 240
watts:
Plug in the mains power plug or switch on the power supply/supplies.
The SC16's status LED illuminates green. The controller is ready for o erations. It switches to au-
tomatic mode.
Info: The factory settings are used to specify the daily routine during the initial start-
up.
BLUETOOTH
®
pairing between the SC16 and an Android device (smartphone, tablet, etc.)
NOTICE: Observe the documentation and user manual for the Android device.
Enable BLUETOOTH
®
on the Android device.
Start the search (scan) for "available devices".
• After the device has been found, SC16_XXX will be listed under "Available devices" (XXX
signifies the sequential serial number.)
Select the device for airing.
• The PIN code request will then a ear.
Enter the PIN number 1234 and confirm with OK.
• The daytime SC16 light controller will now a ear under the list of "Connected devices".

2. Connect the controller with the Android device
Open the SC16 app and clic on "Connect".
The list of aired devices will then be shown. Select/click on the corres onding SC16. The control-
ler's status LED illuminates in red; this indicates manual mode. The time is automatically synchro-
nized.
3. Manual operations
You can use the sliders (WHITE, BLUE, RED) to adjust the brightness or the intensity for each
light colour se arately.
Info: If the matrix modules are being used without the red LED, then the RED slider will
have no function or influence. This also applies to the WHITE and BLUE sliders.
Click on the Cloud icon to start a random cloud simulation (which will last about 30 seconds). The
slider is not enabled during manual o erations.
Click on the Lightning icon to start a random thunderstorm simulation (which will last from 5 – 10
seconds). The slider is not enabled during manual o erations.

4. Programming
You can create and save a lighting configuration "scenario" for each time of day. Your saved sce-
narios are inserted in the "Daily routine" table along with their s ecific start and end times.
The time ga between a scenario's "Time to" and the "Time from" s ecified for the next scenario
define the duration for the change (for sunrise or sunset). The change takes lace uniformly (line-
arly).
4.1 Creating and saving scenarios
Use the sliders to adjust the brightness, light colour, clouds and thunderstorm intensity. Then click
on "Store scenario". Then s ecify a name (e.g. Day) and confirm by clicking on OK. Any number
of scenarios can be created and saved.
The saved scenarios can be o ened, changed and re-saved by clicking on the button corres ond-
ing to the scenario.

4.2 Creating and saving a daily routine
Click on "Programming" and then on "Create daily routine".

Add your desired scenarios and define the times in the daily routine table by clicking on the asso-
ciated buttons, as shown in the exam le below. Once a line is com letely filled out, it is dis layed
with a dark grey background (as shown below, bottom left).
Then save (not yet send) the com leted table by clicking on the "Store daily routine" button. Any
number of daily routines can be created and saved.
To transmit a daily routine, click on "O en daily routine". Then select the desired routine and click
on "Send daily routine" (the controller must be connected to the Android device for this to work).
Note: The table cannot be filled out when no scenarios have been saved.
The change of day (midnight / 0:00) must be included in the last scenario (see the illustra-
tion below) or within the interval between the end of the last scenario and the start of the first
scenario (for example: the last scenario ends at 23:00 and the first scenario starts at 04:30).

Explanations
• A daily routine corres onds to 24 hours and is re eated continuously.
• U to 10 scenarios can be inserted into a daily routine.
• The duration for the continual change (sunrise, sunset, etc.) is derived from the time interval
starting at "Time to" of a scenario and ending at the "Time from" for the next scenario.
This time interval must be at least one minute!
• After the last scenario, the routine starts again with scenario 1. The duration for this
changeover is determined by the difference between the "Time to" for the last s ecified
scenario and the "Time from" for scenario 1.
Click on the Previous buttons to get back to the Start menu and then click on Disconnect. The
connection is then terminated. The controller's status LED illuminates green to signal that automat-
ic mode is running according to the s ecified and transmitted daily routine.

5. Demo mode
The demo mode is enabled by clicking on the corres onding button on the Start age (the a
must be connected to the controller). When demo mode is enabled, the button will dis lay "Demo
running".
The controller continuously switches, in fast-motion time la se, between the scenarios s ecified in
the daily routine. (Clouds and lightning are disabled in demo mode)
The demo mode remains switched on until you click again on the "Demo mode" button, even if the
controller disconnects from the a . If the controller has been disconnected, you will need to re-
connect and click twice on the "Demo mode" button to sto demo mode.
After you click on "Demo running" to sto demo mode, the active changeover will be com leted. In
rare cases, the controller must be disconnected from the ower su ly and then reconnected.

6. System settings
In this menu, the name of the controller can be changed, the software can be u dated, and the
daily routine can be reset to the factory default settings.
Click on "Programming" and then "System settings" to access this screen.

Confirm the following message by clicking on "OK". Then click "Connect".

The following screen dis lays the actual name of the controller in the "Module name" field. The
software and hardware version numbers are also shown here.

6.1 Changing the name of the controller (the module name)
Click on "Rename control". The screen shown below then a ears. S ecify a new name (e.g.
lounge aquarium, test aquarium, etc.) and confirm by clicking OK. The new name will be shown
after you disconnect and reconnect.

6.2 Restoring the factory default settings
Click on "Factory settings". The next screen will show the daily routine table corres onding to the
factory settings in the background. Click on "OK" to confirm that you wish to load the factory set-
tings.
Note: Only the values for the daily routine are specified in the factory settings. The name of
the controller (the module name) will not be reset.
