ASTRO menu
In the ASTRO menu astro times, complete
simulation, offset, astromode as well as posi-
tion (location) can be viewed or changed.
• Astro times
Display of the astro times (including the offsets)
for the current day.
• Total simulation
Display of the switching behaviour with a freely
selectable Start date (the holiday program is not
displayed).
• Offset
The offset (adjustment value) can be used to
shift calculated astro times +/– 2 h. This enables
the Astro switch-on and switch-off times to be
adapted to local circumstances (e.g. mountains,
high buildings etc.) or to personal requirements.
• Astro mode
– Evenings on, morningsoff
Switches on at sunset, switches off at sunset
(Example: street lighting).
– Evenings off, mornings on
Switches off at sunset,
switches on at sunrise (Example: terrarium).
– Astro inactive
The astro times are ineffective
(timer function only).
• Position
Location set by selecting a city or by coordinates
(latitude/longitude, time zone). The OBELISK top2
memory card allows up to 10 further cities
(= favourites) to be entered.

Extra program
• The devices SELEKTA 171 top2 RC and SELEKTA 172 top2 feature 3 special programs,
that can be used for calendar-dependent switching.
• Each special program can be activated over one or several date ranges.
• There are 3 types of date range:
– Fixed date range:
Start time on 02.04.2008 at 16:00 hrs
End time on 24.04.08 at 10:00:00 hrs
– Annually recurring date range,
e.g. Christmas:
Start time on 24.12. at 18:00 hrs each year
End time on 24.12. at 23:00:00 hrs each year
– Easter-dependent date range,
e.g. Whit Sunday and Monday:
Start time: 49 days after Easter at 0:00 hrs, each year
End time: 51 days after Easter at 0:00 hrs, each year
Note: 24:00 hrs is programmed at 0:00 hrs of the following day.

• Extra program 1
– Astro times active
– Optional 1x nighttime interruption
– Optional 1x daytime switch on
– Active in the programmed date ranges
Example: The standard program switches on the street lighting in dependence of the astro times.
A nighttime interruption is programmed from 23:00 hrs to 04:00 hrs.
Extra program 1 is active within the date range from April 30, 12:00 hrs until May 12:00 hrs. Since no
nighttime interruption is programmed, the street lighting will remain on all night.
• Extra program 2
– Permanently ON
– Always ON
Example: The standard program switches on lighting of a neon advertising sign only at night.
The extra program switches on the neon advertising sign permanently during a promotion week from
17.04.2008 at 9:00 hrs until 24.04.2008 at 18:00 hrs.
• Extra program 3
– Permanently OFF
– Always off
Example: The standard program switches on the car park lighting in dependence of the astro times.
The extra program does not switch on the car park lighting on July 14 from 0:00 hrs until July 15 at 04:00 hrs.
