PROGRAMMABLE THREE-WAY SWITCH
MODEL TI054A-06-3W

FOR ALL LIGHTING SYSTEMS

MAXIMUM CHARGE MUST NOT EXCEED 500 W / 230 V

The TI054A-06-3W three-way switch MAY be installed on EITHER of the
following lighting systems:

- Incandescent

- Halogen

- Low voltage halogen with transformer

- Fluorescent
It must not be installed on a motor or a charge exceeding 500 W.

INSTALLATION

This programmable switch may be used in either a single pole or a mul­tiple pole switch installation.

Multiple pole switch installations with an electronic switch are different
from conventional installations. Read the wiring instructions carefully
and select the one that applies to your situation.

ou must follow the steps in the indicated order at all times:

Y
Note: Please note that the two (2) “C” terminals on the programmable

switch have no polarity. They can both be used indiscriminately.

1. Cut the power supply at the main circuit breaker in order to avoid the
risk of electrical shock.

2. Remove and disconnect all existing three-way or regular switches. In
the case of a three-way switch, identify the wire connected to the “C”
or “common” terminal.

3. Connect each wire, as it is disconnected, to the programmable
switch following the appropriate wiring diagram.

4. Close the main circuit breaker to reinstate the power supply.

FOR AN EXISTING THREE-WAY SWITCH INSTALLATION

To replace a conventional three-way switch by a programmable one,
follow the following wiring diagram:

The “common” wire (phase) that you identified while removing the
existing three-way switch must be connected to one of the two “C” ter­minals on the programmable switch. Connect the other two wires
(black) to the remaining two terminals on the programmable switch.
The connecting wire supplied will be added to the remote three-way
switch between the “common” terminal and the black wire connected to
terminal “C” on the programmable switch. Once the connection is com­pleted, correctly install the switches in their own electrical box and
close the main circuit breaker to reinstate the power supply.

FUNCTION CHECK

Refer to the “START-UP” section to start the programmable switch. Try
to activate the lighting using the remote switch and the programmable
switch. If everything is in working order, the installation is complete.
Otherwise, cut the power supply at the main circuit breaker and recon­nect the connecting wire on the remote switch between the “common”
terminal and the other terminal.

FOR A NEW THREE-WAY INSTALLATION

For a new installation, you may use a single pole switch at the remote
location. Use the following wiring diagram:

Note: Note that the connecting wire supplied is not used in this installation.

FOR A SINGLE POLE INSTALLATION

For a single pole installation no wire is connected to terminal “1”.

START-UP

For the first trial under power, use a paper clip to push on the R button.
You should see the figures 0:00 flashing on the screen.

If nothing appears on the screen, check the following points:
a) The programmable switch fuse may not be installed properly or may

be defective.

b) If the programmable switch controls a lamp with its own switch,

make sure that the latter is always “ON”.

OPERATING MODES

The programmable switch offers two operating modes: MANUAL and
AUTOMATIC.

In MANUAL mode, it operates as a conventional switch. You can then
turn the light “OFF” or “ON” by pressing on the door. The screen dis­plays “MAN” and the status of the light (“ON” or “OFF”).

In AUTOMATIC mode, the switch runs the recorded program. To acti­vate this mode, press on the door (approximately 3 seconds) until
“AUTO” is displayed. The screen displays the active program number
as well as its “ON” or “OFF” status.

To temporarily override the programming, simply press on the door.
The new status of the light flashes to indicate that this status is tempo­rary.

To exit the “AUTO” mode, press on the door (approximately 3 seconds)
until “MAN” is displayed.

3) nor/Ad : Does your country use daylight saving time (advanced

time) in the summer? If so, in which period of the year are you?

Ex. : In France, on June 24th, we are in daylight saving time (Ad).
nor/Ad = Ad

P1 ON 20:38 Sundown
P1 OFF 22:00
P2 ON 5:00
P2 OFF 5:10 Sunrise

LC: Does your country follow the rules of the standard time according
to its position in relation to Greenwich or has it set the time in a more
practical way?

Since this programmable switch can be used anywhere in the world, it
is based on the universal time (24 time zones, each increasing by one
hour toward the East starting at Greenwich). For practical reasons how­ever, some time zones have been redefined (in order to respect a fron­tier or for reasons of economy).

In this case, to remain compatible with the universal time, you need to
enter a local correction factor.

Ex:Since the second world war, France has adopted Central European

time (GMT+1). Thus, its local correction factor will be:
LC = 1

SETTING THE TIME

1. Lift the lower side of the door with a flat screwdriver.

2. Set the time by pressing on the HOUR and MIN buttons.

3. Press on one of the SAVE buttons to record the time and return to
the MANUAL or AUTOMATIC operating mode.

DEFINITION OF YOUR CITY’S PARAMETERS

Before programming your switch, complete the following table by
answering the questions:

Latitude Longitude DAY # nor/Ad

1) LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: What are the latitude and longitude of

your residence? Identify the city closest to yours in the table. If none
is listed in the table, this information is usually available on road

maps (latitude: horizontal lines and longitude: vertical lines).
Ex.: Paris 48,2; means Latitude 48 N and Longitude 2 E.
Note that SOUTH latitudes and WEST longitudes are indicated with a

minus sign. The maximum latitude is +/- 65º.

2) DAY # : What is the day of the year?
Add the month code (see table below) to the day’s date.
Ex.: If today is June 24th:
DAY # = 151 + 24 = 175

P1 ON 21:50 Sundown
P1 OFF --:-- free
P2 ON --:-- free
P2 OFF 5:58 Sunrise

RECORDING YOUR PARAMETERS

Now, you only need to program the parameters previously defined into
your programmable switch.

Note: If you make a mistake while entering data, select the ill-defined

parameter again using the “code” button and make the appro­priate correction.

1. Press once on the CODE button.

- The screen displays “Latitude 00”.

- Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter your latitude.

2. Press again on the CODE button.

- The screen displays: “Longitude 000”.

- Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter your longitude.

3. Press again on the CODE button

- The screen displays “Day # 000”.

- Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter the day #.

4. Press again on the CODE button.

- The screen displays “nor” (normal).

- Use the MIN button to switch from Standard time (“nor”) to
Daylight-Saving time (“Ad”).

5. Press again on the CODE button.

- The screen displays “LC 0”.

- Use the MIN button to enter the local correction factor.

You have now completed the setting of your parameters. Press on one
of the SAVE buttons to record your parameters and return to the MAN­UAL or AUTOMATIC operating mode.

1- This switch can memorize 2 “ON/OFF” programs which repeat

themselves every day.
If you have entered your city’s parameters, the programs “P1 ON” and

“P2 OFF” represent sundown and sunrise hours. Our example shows
these results.

If your switch is set at “AUTO”, your lights will go on at sundown and go
off at sunrise.

2- If you wish your lights to go on at sundown but go off for example at

23:00, enter program “P1 OFF - 23:00”.
Furthermore, if you wish your lights to go back on at 5:00 AM and go

off at sunrise, enter program “P2 ON - 5:00”

nor - Standard time

- Winter time

Ad - Daylight-saving time

- Summer time

Note that the “P1 OFF” and “P2 OFF” programs have priority on the “P1
ON” and “P2 ON” programs respectively.

If, for example, the sun rises at 4:58 (“P2 OFF”) and you request in “P2
ON” that the lights go on at 5:00, the lights will not go on that morning.

If you wish to replace the “sundown” and/or “sunrise” programs by a

SAVING YOUR PROGRAMS

1- Press on the PGM button to select the program.

2- Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to modify the program.
3- Press on the CODE button to return to the initial value.

P1 ON = Sundown P1 OFF = -- : -­P2 ON = --:-- P2 OFF = Sunrise

4- Press on the SAVE button to record your modifications and return

to the MANUAL or AUTOMATIC operating mode.

TO SWITCH FROM STANDARD TIME TO
DAYLIGHT-SA

If your country uses daylight-saving time, execute the following proce­dure when the time changes:

1- Press 4 times on the CODE button to select the “nor/Ad” mode.
2- Use the MIN button to switch from the “nor” (Standard) mode to the

“Ad” (Daylight-saving) mode and vice versa.

3- Press on the SA

The programmable switch will automatically adjust the clock and the
sundown/sunrise table for the period of the year. Y
