General:
ASTRO is a digital time s itch that calculates the sunset and sunrise
times by using coordinates and real time clock. It operates according to
the program setting and it has no need for a photocell sensor. Device
could be used as astronomical or digital time s itch.
ASTRO has t o reserves to protect the real time clock and calender
against po er outage.
For long term reserve there is CR2032 battery. If the device is po ered,
battery life is approx. 5 years. When the battery life is expired,the user is
able to replace the battery easily.
Super capacitor is used for short time po er failures. It supplies the
device for 3-7 hours. In this case battery is not used, so battery level is
conserved.
NOTE1: Before commissioning the device, please insert the battery into
the battery compartment .
NOTE2: If the device is not po ered, ASTRO automatically enters po er
save mode to conserve the battery life. When the device is in this mode
LCD screen is turned off. The screen ould turn on hen pressing any
button and so the user ould be able to change the settings and
programming the device manually. After 15 seconds of inactivity, the
screen ould be turned off again.
NOTE3: 4 preset programs are available on the device.
Program 1 : Relay A Astro Sunset ON
Program 2 : Relay A Astro Sunrise OFF
Program 3 : Relay B Astro Sunset ON

required. If this function is enabled for both of the relays, manual control is not possible for both of them.
In conclusion, activating lock function for any relay causes PIN code query before reaching the menus and prevent manual control for the
related relay.
