Installation and User Guide

Industrial Indoor/Outdoor Solar Timer

The TI044 is a heavy-duty indoor/outdoor timer designed to control the following loads:

The TI044 is equipped with two normally-open (NO) dry contacts identified as Load 1 and Load 2 for connecting two independently operated loads:

• Load 1 follows the schedule that you have programmed into the

• Load 2 always follows the sunset/sunrise program; i.e., it is

timer when placed in automatic mode. The load can also be activated or deactivated manually similar to the operation of a regular switch.

A single-pole switch can be connected to the timer to control Load 1 as in a 3-way installation. For example, the timer can be installed outside whereas the switch can be located remotely (e.g., inside the house).

Installation

n Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock. o Connect the power supply between power line and power neutral

terminals.

p Connect the load and its power supply in series between Load 1 in

and Load 1 out or between Load 2 in and Load 2 out depending on the application.

NOTE: For a 3-way installation, connect a standard single-pole switch to the 3-way terminals of the timer as shown on the wiring diagram.

q Apply power at the circuit breaker.

• Briefly press the button to turn the load On or Off (applies to Load 1 only).

• Press the button for 3 seconds to switch between Automatic mode and Manual mode (applies to Load 1 only).

3.1 Load 1

Load 1 can operate in Manual or Automatic mode. To switch between the two modes, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.

Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the TI044 operates like a regular switch to control Load 1. Briefly press the MODE button to activate or deactivate the load. (If you have connected a remote switch to the timer for a 3-way installation, the switch can also be used to activate or deactivate Load 1.) The mode indicator (MAN) and the state (ON or OFF) are displayed.

Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the TI044 controls Load 1 according to the programmed schedule (see section 6). The mode indicator (AUTO), the state (ON or OFF) and the current program number are displayed.

To temporarily override the programmed schedule, press the MODE button or use the remote switch (if connected). The new state indicator will flash to show that this state is temporary. The override remains in effect until you press the MODE button (or use the remote switch) or until the beginning of the next program.

3.2 Load 2

Load 2 follows the sunset/sunrise program (regardless of the operating mode of the timer). For example, if Load 2 is a light, the light will turn On at sunset and turns Off at sunrise.

NOTE: To use Load 2, you first need to enter the city coordinates and

set the date (see section 6).

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

Setting the Clock

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

as follows: a) Press the MODE button to ensure the MAN or AUTO indica-

tor is displayed.

b) Briefly press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously

(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 the MODE button to return to normal operation.

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

Daylight Savings 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

p Press the MODE button to return to normal operation.

NOTE 1: Load 2 always follows the sunset/sunrise program. Therefore, to use Load 2, you need to enter the city coordinates (longitude and latitude) and set the date.

NOTE 2: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise parameters, Load 1 will follow the sunset/sunrise program when you place the timer in Automatic mode. To set your own schedule, see section 7.

Sunset/Sunrise Program

6.1 Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters

Fill out the following table:

Latitude Longitude Day # nor/Ad Lc

3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the current time 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 sunset and sunrise. Therefore, apply a correction factor (+1 or -1). Otherwise, leave it at 0.

6.2 Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters

Once you have completed section 6.1, proceed as follows:

n Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears.

The parameters appear in the following order.

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

used

o Press the HOUR or MIN button to modify the value (see table

above for the buttons to use).

p Press the MODE button to return to normal operation.

NOTE: Applies to Load 1 only. The programmed schedule does not affect Load 2 which follows the sunset/sunrise program only.

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:

Programming the Schedule

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

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

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

If you have entered your city’s parameters (see section 6), the parameters P1 ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and sunrise time for this time of the year. If Load 1 is used for lighting, when the timer will be 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)
