5. Settings and functions
LIn standard setting, an astronomical time switch switches
on during twilight and off during sunrise. Therefore, in
most applications, only one night switch-off (e.g. from
22:00 to 06:00) has to be programmed – and, if needed,
to be copied to all weekdays.
Astronomical time switches can be used for precise switching
of connected consumers based on sunrise and sunset. They
have an additional astro pulse, which can be used for roller
blinds and blinds control.
Furthermore, the astronomical time switched offer a twilight
range in three increments:
•Sunset (civil twilight)
•Twilight (nautical twilight)
•Darkness (astronomical twilight)
ASTRO menu
In the ASTRO menu, astro times, total simulation, offset, astro
mode and position (locations) can be queried or changed.
•Astro times
Display of the astro times (including the offset) for the
current day
•Total simulation
Display of the switching response with a freely selectable
start date (the holiday program is not shown)
•Offset
The offset (correction value) can be used to shift the
calculated astro times by +/– 120 min. This means that
the astro turn-on and turn-off times can be adapted to
local conditions (e.g. mountains, high buildings etc.) or to
personal requirements.
•Astro mode
–Evenings on, mornings off: At sunset it switches on, at
sunrise it switches off (example: street lighting)
–Evenings off, mornings on: At sunset it switches off, at
sunrise it switches on (example: terrarium)
–Astro not active: The astro times are ineffective (only
the "xed switching time" time switch function)
•Astro time
3 twilight ranges can be set:
–Sunset (civil twilight):
Sunset is the moment in which the upper edge of the
sun disappears behind the horizon
–Twilight (nautical twilight):
Twilight is when the centre of the sun is 6° below the
horizon
–Darkness (astronomical twilight):
The darkness setting, technically correct astronomical
twilight, is when the centre of the sun is 18° below
the horizon. Stars can be seen.
•Location
–Setting the location by selecting a town/city or via
coordinates (latitude/longitude, time zone). By using
the Bluetooth OBELISK top3, up to 10 further towns/
cities (= favourites) can be added.

Setting special programs
•The devices SELEKTA 171 top3 RC and SELEKTA 172
top3 feature 3 special programs, which can be used for
calendar-dependent switching.
•Each special program can be activated over one or seve-
ral date areas.
•There are 3 types of date areas:
–Fixed date area:
e.g. starting time on 2018-04-02 at 16:00
end time on 2018-04-24 at 10:00
–Yearly repeating date area:
e.g. Christmas:
starting time on 24-12 at 18:00 every year
end time on 26-12 at 23:00 every year
–Date area depending on Easter:
e.g. Whit Sunday and Whit Monday:
starting time 49 days after Easter at 00:00
every year end time: 51 days after Easter at 00:00,
every year
LThe public holiday set is set via app, or OBELISK software.
L24:00 is programmed as 00:00 of the following day.

•Special program 1
–Astro times active
–Optional 1x night interruption
–Optional 1x daytime switch on
–Active in the programmed date areas
Example: The standard program switches on street
lighting depending on Astro times.
A night interruption is programmed from 23:00 to
04:00. Special program 1 is active within the date
area from April 30 12:00 until May 1, 12:00. Since no
night interruption is programmed, the street lighting
will remain on all night.
•Special program 2
–Permanent ON
–Always on during the programmed date areas
Example: The standard program switches on lighting
of a neon advertising sign only at night. The special
program switches on the neon advertising sign per-
manently during a promotion week from 2018-04-
17, 9:00 until 2018-04-24, 18:00.
•Special program 3
–Permanent OFF
–Always off during the programmed date areas
Example: The standard program switches on the car
park lighting depending on the astro times. The spe-
cial program does not switch on the car park lighting
on July 14, from 00:00 to July 15, 04:00.

Setting channel lock (only for SELEKTA 172 top3)
There are situations where two channels must not be swit-
ched at the same time! The channels can be interlocked in
this case.
LThe channel lock can prevent both channels from swit-
ching on at the same time.
LThis prevents damages at consumers, e.g. forward and
backward running of engines.
If one channel is already switched on, the second channel
will not switch on until the  rst channel is switched off and a
waiting time of 1 s has passed.
If both channels are switched on at the same time, channel 1
has priority.

LConnection to the top2 RC-DCF antenna allows the time
switch to be automatically synchronised via DCF signal.
