LCD DISPLAY ELEMENTS
The LCD incorporates a number of different ele-
ments to display various data and information.
A new feature of the talento 800 Series is the “Sleep”
Mode, an energy saving feature. This feature turns
off the LCD (when the unit is not powered) if no but-
tons are pressed for a period of two minutes. When
in the sleep mode the only character displayed is a
flashing Colon ( : ). To restore the full display simply
press the clock ( ) button one time.
BLOCK NUMBERS
Block numbers 00 through 99 are automatically
issued during programming. They cannot be
assigned or changed by the programmer. Switching
commands without a date assignment always
receive the block number 00 (priority 0 is always
assigned to block 00 – this cannot be changed). All
switching commands with a date assignment
receive block numbers from 01 to 99. These are
issued in ascending order.
Execution of Programs
At beginning of each day the microprocessor determines
which of the stored programs for that day have the high-
est priority. Only the highest priority program(s) will be
executed.
Once the talento 800 is programmed, it will automatically
“look back” and assume the correct ON or OFF switch
position.
PRIORITY
Switching commands with a single date or date range
assignment can be issued different priorities (priority 0 and
block 00 is always assigned to switching commands with-
out a date or date range – this cannot be changed). Priority
2 is issued automatically if you start programming by enter-
ing a single date. Priority 1 is issued automatically if you
start programming by entering a date range. In either case,
the priority can be changed between 1 and 9 by pressing
the “priority” button during programming. Programs with a
higher number priority will be executed first
PROGRAM STORAGE CAPACITY
The talento 800 can store up to 400 programs. To view the
number of unused or “free” programs available, press the
“Prog.” button twice (3 times from the sleep mode). Every
“Date” or “Date Range” entered and each unique “On” or
“Off” command uses one program position. In other
words, each time the “Prog.” button is pushed a storage
position is used. An “On” or “Off” command assigned to
multiple days and/or multiple channels only utilizes one
program position. Therefore, an “On” event at 7:00 AM
Monday or 7:00 AM Monday through Friday uses only
one program position. Likewise, if it was assigned to two,
three or four channels it would still only constitute one
program.
