Manual Mode

The programmable switch operates as a regular switch. Briefly press the switch door to turn the lights On or Off. The mode (MAN) and state (ON or OFF) are displayed.

Automatic Mode

The programmable switch follows the programmed schedule. The mode (AUTO), state (ON or OFF) and current program number are displayed. To temporarily override the programmed schedule, briefly press the switch door. The new state (ON or OFF) will flash to show that the state is temporary. The override remains in effect until you press the switch door again or until the beginning of the next program.

Setting the Clock

NOTE: The switch displays the time in 24-hour format by default or following a reset.

n To switch between 12-hour format and 24-hour format, proceed as

follows: a) Press one of the control buttons to ensure the MAN or AUTO indica-

tor is displayed.

b) Press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously and brieftly (0:00

display = 24-hour; 12:00 display = 12-hour ).

o Set the time using the HOUR and MIN buttons. For the 12-hour time

format, if you are setting an afternoon time, ensure PM appears on the screen.

p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to

normal operation.

Daylight Savings Time

This procedure sets the switch for daylight savings time or for standard time.

n Press the CODE button four times. o Press the MIN button to switch between nor and Ad.

nor Standard time / Normal time / Winter time Ad Daylight savings time / Advanced time / Summer time

Sunset/Sunrise Program

NOTE: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise parameters, the timer will follow the sunrise/sunset program when placed in Automatic mode. To set your own schedule, see section 8.

7.1 Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters

Fill out the following table:

Latitude Longitude Day # nor/Ad Lc

1) LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: Enter the coordinates of your city or the

nearest city using the supplied table. If none of the cities in the table is applicable, this information is usually available on the internet.

NOTE: Add a minus sign when entering a south latitude coordinate or a west longitude coordinate.

2) DAY #: Enter the day #. (Add the code of the current month to the current

date.) For example: For June 24th, the day # = 151 + 24 = 175

January 0 May 120 September 243

February 31 June 151 October 273

March 59 July 181 November 304

April 90 August 212 December 334

3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the appropriate

period.

nor Standard time / Normal time / Winter time Ad Daylight savings time / Advanced time / Summer time

4) Lc: If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries

instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch On/Off too early or too late with respect to sunrise and sunset. Therefore, apply a correction factor (+1 or

-1). Otherwise, leave it at 0.

7.2 Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters

Once you have completed section 7.1, proceed as follows:

n Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The param-

eters appear in the following order.

Parameter Default

Latitude (LAT) 00 -65 to 65 HOUR & MIN Longitude (LONG) 000 -180 to 180 HOUR & MIN Day number (DAY #) 000 1 to 365 HOUR & MIN Daylight savings time nor nor / Ad MIN Local correction factor (Lc) 0 -1, 0, 1 MIN

the buttons to use).

p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to nor-

mal operation.

Programming the Schedule

NOTE: This section allows you to set your own schedule.

The switch can hold 2 programs which are repeated every day. When you place the timer in Automatic mode, it will activate the load at the start of each program and deactivate it at the end of the program. You need to set the following parameters:

P1 ON : Start time of program 1 P1 OFF : End time of program 1 P2 ON : Start time of program 2 P2 OFF : End time of program 2

n Press the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.

If you have entered your city’s parameters (see section 7), the parameters P1 ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and sunrise time for this time of the year. If the timer is used for lighting, when placed in AUTO mode, it will turn the light ON at sunset and will turn it Off at sunrise. For example:

P1 ON : 20:38 (sunset) P1 OFF : --:-- (blank) P2 ON : --:-- (blank) P2 OFF : 6:10 (sunrise)

o Press the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the time.

Example: If you want your lights to turn On at sunset and to turn Off at

10:00 PM, set P1 OFF to 22:00. If you also want your lights to turn back On at 5:00 AM then turn Off at sunrise, set P2 ON to 5:00.

P1 ON : 20:38 (sunset) P1 OFF : 22:00 (programmed) P2 ON : 5:00 (programmed) P2 OFF : 6:10 (sunrise)

NOTE: P1 OFF and P2 OFF have priority over P1 ON and P2 ON

respectively. For example, if sunrise is at 4:58 and P2 ON is set to 5:00, the lights will not turn on. You can replace the sunrise and sunset times by fixed times. Select program P1 ON or P2 OFF and enter the desired time using the HOUR and MIN buttons.

p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to

normal operation.

Clearing a programmed time

n Press the PGM button to display the programmed time. o Press the CODE button. The time will be erased and -:-- will be

displayed.

NOTE: For P1 ON and P2 OFF, if you have programmed the city parameters, the programmed time will be replaced by sunset time and sunrise time respectively.

p Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to

normal operation.

Troubleshooting

Blank display • Verify circuit breaker at main panel.

Faded or irregular display

Cannot switch between 24hour format and 12-hour format

Programs do not run as expected

The switch resets itself without apparent reason when used to control an inductive load such as a relay or a contactor.

After I have bypassed the program to turn the light Off, it turns back On at midnight.

Technical Specifications

Supply: 120 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz Maximum load: 2400 watts resistive or inductive, 1 HP motor Operating temperature range: 5°F to 122°F (-15°C to 50°C) Storage temperature range: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C) Power outage: The programs are protected by a rechargeable battery. The

screen is blank during the power outage.

Solar table precision: +/- 11 min. (max error around poles) Certifications: CSA & UL

• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is at ON.

• Reset the switch using a paper clip.

Ambient temperature below freezing point

First, press one of the control buttons so that MAN or AUTO appears on display.

• Make sure the switch is properly programmed.

• Note that -:-- indicates an inactive program, 00:00 indicates midnight.

• If the switch has been configured for 12-hour format, check that PM appears on the left side of the screen when an afternoon time is displayed.

The reset is caused by the load. Install a snubber (AC130-03) at each relay/contactor.

Any temporary bypass is cancelled at midnight. Thus, the light has turned back On, the state the light should be at midnight according to the program. If you often bypass programming before midnight, you should program P1 OFF to midnight or earlier. This ensures that the light will remain Off when you bypass programming.
