memory device
(s separately)upplied
The ASTRO-LUX-TIME weekly digital switches with 1 or 2 relay outputs
(mono or dual-channel) are equipped with a backlit display and programming
is easy and intuitive thanks to the browsing by Menu.
They are the ultimate solution to managing loads based on time or brightness
and/or their combinations; they consist of an ASTRONOMICAL TIME
SWITCH, a TWILIGHT SWITCH and a TIME SWITCH in a single device.
Ideally used in domestic buildings, industrial buildings, schools, offices,
public areas, etc.; they also have a special Slot to insert the EMD (External
Memory Device) that allows one or more programs to be
read/saved/copied/run on different ASTRO/LUX/TIME digital switches of the
same model.

Correspondence with the actual time of sunrise and sunset of a particular location also depends on changes in the weather, altitude
and topography of the place, therefore, the calculated values must usually be corrected with the following parameters:
SUNSET TIME CORRECTION - SUNRISE TIME CORRECTION (see paragraph 2.1)
The time of sunrise and sunset is calculated by considering the type of "Official" twilight and corresponds with the Zenith at 90°50'.

Example type of programP02 LUX :
allows you to set programs that switch-on and off

The program starts (LUX ON) when the brightness
value measured by the sensor is less than the set
threshold (e.g. at twilight) and ends (LUX OFF) when
the measured value exceeds the threshold (e.g.
sunrise of the next day).
Twilight operation
When the brightness received by the sensor is less than the
“LUX ON” set value, the relay will close the contact after a
delay (about 15 sec.) called T on.
In contrast, when the brightness received by the sensor
exceeds the “ ” set value, the relay will open theLUX OFF
contact after a delay (about 30 s) called T off.

4.1.2.a) Forcing Twilight (LUX)
The unit is configured to activate the selected channel via twilight override, when the brightness received by the
sensor is less than the set LUX threshold value and disable it when the brightness is above the threshold.
TOTAL PARTIALor twilight override can be selected according to the system requirements:
intervention has priority over programs (ASTRO-LUX-TIME) in progress.TOTAL twilight override:
This type of override is useful, for example, to enable/disable the channel as a normal twilight device.
Type of PARTIAL twilight override:
note: PARTIAL twilight override can only be selected if the ASTRO procedure has been previously set (see
paragraph 2.1). Night time is calculated based on the astronomical coordinates.
In the night time, forcing partial twilight is disabled, thereby allowing any programs in progress to be executed
normally. This kind of override is useful for example, to enable/disable the channel if, during the day, the ambient
light drops below the set threshold (for example, when cloudy, rainy, etc.).
note: if the device is reset, no types of set twilight override are deleted.

4.1.4.a) Combination of ASTRO / TIME
Combination of ASTRO / TIME programs You can set the programs that start at astronomical sunset (ASTRO ON) and end at a fixed time (TIME OFF).
NOTE: when creating the ASTRO / TIME program, 23:59 is suggested as TIME OFF (editable) on the selected day.
-A program ends on the same day if the TIME OFF setting is before midnight
example: program start-up (ASTRO ON) at astronomical sunset e.g. at 18:30 and ends (TIME OFF) at 22:30 on the same day.
NOTE: the TIME OFF switch-off time must be after the ASTRO ON time (otherwise the program is not valid and is not implemented).
- A program ends the next day if the TIME OFF is set after midnight
.example: program start-up (ASTRO ON) at astronomical sunset e.g. at 18:30 and ends (TIME OFF) at 06:30 the next day
NOTE: TIME OFF switch-off time cannot be after 11:59 the next day.
4.1.4.b) Combination of TIME / ASTRO programs
You can set the programs that start at a fixed time (TIME ON) and end at an astronomical sunrise (ASTRO OFF).
- A program ends on the same day if the TIME ON setting is before midday
.example: program start-up (TIME ON) at 05:30 and ends (ASTRO OFF) at astronomical sunrise on the same day e.g. at 06:30
NOTE: the TIME ON start-up time must be before the ASTRO OFF time (otherwise the program is not valid and is not implemented).
- A program ends the next day if the TIME ON setting is after midday
.example: program start-up (TIME ON) at 22:30 and ends (ASTRO OFF) at astronomical sunrise the next day e.g. at 06:30
4.1.4.c) Combination of LUX / TIME programs
You can set the programs that start at sunset (LUX ON) detected by the twilight sensor and end at a fixed time (TIME OFF).
When creating the program, 23:59 is suggested as TIME OFF (editable) on the first day.
- A program ends on the same day if the TIME OFF setting is before midnight
example: program start-up (LUX ON) at twilight according to the set threshold e.g. at 18:45 and ends (TIME OFF) at 22:30 on the same day.
- A program ends the next day if the TIME OFF setting is after midnight
.example: program start-up (LUX ON) at twilight according to the set threshold e.g. at 18:45 and ends (TIME OFF) at 06:30 the next day
NOTE: TIME OFF switch-off time cannot be after 11:59 on the next day.
NOTE: if the initial condition occurs, the amount of light is below the set threshold, the program does not run after the set switch-off time (TIME OFF).
(example: a LUX ON threshold is set that starts-up at about 19:20 and TIME OFF is set to switch-off at 19:00).
4.1.4) CombiningASTRO-LUX-TIME programs
You can also set the combined programs according to the specific requirements, starting with a type of program (example: ASTRO) and ending with
another type (example: TIME).

4.1.4.d) Combination of TIME / LUX programs
You can set the programs that start at a fixed time (TIME ON) and end when the brightness will exceed the threshold set in the program (LUX OFF).
- A program ends on the same day if the TIME ON setting is before midday
example: program start-up (TIME ON) at 05:30 and ends (LUX OFF) at sunrise according to the set threshold e.g. at 06:30 on the same day.
NOTE: once switch-off is implemented, i.e. the amount of light is higher than the set threshold, the program is terminated. If dimming occurs (e.g. cloudy weather or a storm),
the program will not be executed.
- A program ends the next day if the TIME ON setting is after midday
example: program start-up (TIME ON) at 22:30 and ends (LUX OFF) at sunrise according to the threshold set on the next day e.g. at 06:30.
NOTE: if during the program start-up set time (TIME ON), switch-off occurs before, i.e. the amount of light is higher than the set threshold, the program will last about 1 minute
and will then restart when dimming occurs and will terminate at sunrise the next day when the light will be higher than the threshold set.
4.1.4. ) Combining LUX / ASTRO programsf
Programs can be set to start at sunset detected by the twilight sensor (LUX ON) and ends at sunrise the next day (ASTRO OFF).
4.1.4. ) Combining ASTRO/LUX programse
You can set the programs that start at astronomical sunset (ASTRO ON) and end at sunrise the next day (LUX OFF) when the brightness will be greater than
the threshold set in the program.
NOTE: if during program start-up (ASTRO ON), switch-off also occurs (LUX OFF), i.e. the amount of light is higher than the set threshold, the program will last about 1 minute.
The program will start again when dimming occurs and will terminate at sunrise the next day when the brightness will be higher than the threshold set in the program.
4.2) Vi ing or modifying a program (ASTRO / LUX / TIME) already savedsualiz
NOTE: if during the program start-up set time (TIME ON), switch-off occurs before, i.e. the amount of light is higher than the set threshold, the program is not executed
