The TI072 will turn the lights on at sunset and turn them off at 11:00 pm by default. If these settings are
appropriate for you, you only need to set the time and date (see shaded zone in the menu flowchart sheet).
If the switch’s sunset time does not correspond to the actua l sunse t time, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

5.1 Mode Menu

You can use the Mode menu to select one of the three modes of operation (see sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.3).

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the TI072 operates like a regu lar switch. To turn the lights on or off, briefly
press the main button. The icon appears when the switch is in Manual mode.

5.1.2 Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the TI072 turns the lights on or off according to the set programs (see
Section 5.4). The icon as well as the current program number are displayed.

5.1.3 Random Mode

In Random mode, the TI072 has no specific times to turn the lights on or off. This mode is
designed to give the impression the house is occupied during your absence. It is similar to the
Automatic mode except there is no fixed program. The programs are automatically set to

different times by the TI072 e very d ay. The icon appears when the switch is in Rando m mode.
The first “On” program occurs at sunset. Each “On” program lasts between 1 hour and 1

hour and 30 minutes; each “Off” program lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The last “Off”
program occurs between 10:30 pm and midnight.

5.1.4 Temporary Override

When the TI072 is in Automatic or Random mode, you can press the main bu tton at any time to override the
default state for the current program. The light will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The icon (On or Off)
of the new state flashes to indicate that the state is temporary. The new state is maintained until you press
the main button again or till the next “On” or “Off” program.

5.2 Time Menu

The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been set or after a 4-hour power outage.
Use the Time menu to select the time format (12-hour or 24-hour) and to set the clock and date.

NOTE: The date is used to determine the sunset and sunrise times.

5.3 Configuration Menu (Conf)

Use the Configuration menu to set the following parameters (see
sections 5.3.1 to 5.3.4).

5.3.1 Backlight mode (SCRN)

The screen is lit at high intensity for 8 seconds when you press any
button. The rest of the time, depending on the backlight mode
selected, the screen behaves as follows:

Scrn Off: The screen is not lit.
Scrn On HI: The screen is lit at high intensity.
Scrn On LO: The screen is lit at low intensity (default mode).

5.3.2 Automatic Daylight Savings Time Changeover (

When automatic daylight savings time changeover is on (DLS On), the
TI072 changes to daylight savings time (summer time) at 2:00 am on
the second Sunday of March and changes back to normal time (winter
time) at 2:00 am on the first Sunday of November. This function is
enabled (DLS On) by default.

5.3.3 Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (

The coordinates are used to turn the lights on at sunset and off at sun­rise. The latitude is set to +45 and longitude to -75 by default. These
settings provide approximate sunset and sunrise times for most North
American cities. To obtain your city’s coordinates (or those of a nearby
city), see the coordinates table. You can also obtain this information at
www.aubetech.com/timer or with a Global Positioning System (GPS)
device. The accuracy of the sunset and sunrise times depends on the
accuracy of the coordinates you enter for your city.

NOTE: Enter a negative value for a south latitude or a west longitude.

LAT and LONG

DLS

5.3.4 Correction Factor (ADJ)

If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries
instead of its coordinates, your ligh t s mig ht switch on or o ff too early or
too late with respect to sunrise and sunset. In this case, apply a
correction factor (+1 or -1 hour; refer to addendum). Otherwise, leave
it at 0 (default value).

5.4 Program Menu (Prog)

Use the Program menu to set the programs; i.e. the times you want
the lights to turn On or Off when the switch is in Automatic mode. To
set a program, proceed as follows:

n Select a program number (see section 5.4.1)
o Set the day(s) of the program (see section 5.4.2)
p Set the program start time (see section 5.4.3)

5.4.1 Selecting a program number

You can set up to 21 “On” programs
(“P01 On” to “P21 On”) and 21 “Off”
programs (“P01 Off” to “P21 Off”). For
example, select an “On” program to set
when to turn the lights on; select an
“Off” program to set when to turn the
lights off.

5.4.2 Setting the day(s) of the program

After selecting a program, set the day(s) of the program. You can
select a specific day, all 7 days or “none”. Choose “none” for any
unused program.

5.4.3 Setting the program start time

After setting the day(s) of the program, set its start time. You can
select either a specific time, the sunset time or the sunrise time:

• To select a specific time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the hour.
(2) Advance to the minutes setting and select the minutes.

• To select sunset or sunrise time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the sunset time or
sunrise time. (When you scroll, the sunset time and

sunrise time appear between 11 pm and 12 am.)
(2) To enter an offset (from -70 to +70 minutes in 10-minute
increments) between the sunset or sunrise time and the
program start time, advance to the minutes setting and change
the minutes.

• EXAMPLE: If the sunset time is 6:13 pm and you change the

minutes to display 6:43 pm, you have entered a delay of 30

“P01 On” “P01 Off”

minutes. If, later in the year, the sunset time is 4:01 pm, the
program will start at 4:31 pm.

• NOTE: When you enter an offset, appears along with
or when you display the sunset or sunrise time. To

remove the offset, display the sunset or sunrise time and
change the minutes until disappears.

Be careful about overlapping!

If you set “P01 Off” at 10:00 pm for all 7 days and set “P02 Off” to
11:00 pm for Saturday. On Saturday, the lights will turn off at 10:00
pm, not 11:00 pm since “P01 Off” is set to an earlier time than “P02
Off”.

Keypad Lock

s

When the keypad is locked, the icon appears on the screen and the
only change permitted is the changing of the state. For example, if the
lights are off, they will turn on when you press the main button.
However, in Automatic mode, the default stat e for the current program
will be overridden until the next program starts. If you press the main
button again before the start of the next program, the lights return to
their initial state. To lock or unlock the keypad, press the buttons

in the following order:

2 sec.

NOTE: You must perform the whole procedure in an interval of 2
seconds. If the procedure was not properly performed, wait another 2
seconds before retrying.

simultaneously press both main and left buttons and
hold. The software version will appear for 5 seconds.
RST will appear for the next 5 seconds. Release the
buttons when all segments appear on the screen. The
switch is now reset (see default settings in the menu
