1. Description of Functions
The Electronic Timer supported by a Microprocessor is placed into
a 58 mm recessed box and free of maintenance.
A reted load of max. 1000 VA can be controlled. The Timer is
equipped with 9 memory registers free programmable for one
Switch-on respectively one Switch-off Time each. These times can
be coordinated to any combination of weekdays.
The Timer is equipped with 4 types of operation:
1.) Manual Mode (see chap. 4.1)
Connected loads can be switched by means of keys.
2.) Automatic Mode (see chap. 4.2)
Programmed Switch Times are being realized.
3.) Operation with Random Generator (see chap. 4.3)
Programmed Switch Times will be varied up to ±15 min. to
simulate presence of persons.
4.) Operation with Astro Mode (see chap. 4.4)
Programmed Switch Times will be adjusted to times of sunrise and
sunset.
Combinations of various modes are possibles.
Programmed Switch Times will not be activated during manual operation.
Manual operation is superior to automatic types of operation.
Power failure clears the display. In case of power failure of up to 2 hours all programmed data remain.
Should failure last longer than 2 hours, controller switch to manual operation after return of power,
display flashes until pushing any optionalkey. Following a re-setting of the actual time, calendar week
and weehday is essential (see chap. 3.1 - 3.5).
Should the Timer not react on pushing keys (due to false operation), pull off the plugged-on
controller unit for at least 20 minutes. By doing so a reset for the internal microprocessor is garanteed.
Programmed data remain uneffected.

and sunset are being stored
permanently (see fig. 1 and 2).
Switch Times programmed to
be carried out within darkness
of a day remain unchanged
from the Astro Mode.
Note: Do not programme more
than max. one paire of Switch
Times (e.g. 1 ON, 1 OFF) per
half day (morning/afternoon)
when Astro Mode is activated.
If it is required to switch on
lighting at sunset (SU) and off
at 22.00 hours, following
programming may be used
(consider Astro Mode needs to
be activated):
Switch Time 1: Mon-Sun
16.00 h ON;
22.00 h OFF.
