Connect the LOAD wire on the TI072 to the “common” wire, which you identified when removing the old switch. Connect the NEUTRAL wire to the neutral (white) wires. Connect the LINE and 3 WAY wires to the two remaining wires. At the other 3-way switch, connect the jumper wire between the “common” screw and the screw where the LINE wire of the TI072 is connected.

pQuick Start-up

Set the time and date before using the timer for the first time.

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 actual sunset time, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

rSetup Menus

Press the main button for 3 seconds to enter the setup menus. Refer to (3 sec.) the menu flowchart sheet on how to navigate the menus.

5.1Mode 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 regular 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 every day. The icon appears when the switch is in Random 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 button 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.

5.2Time 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.

5.3Configuration 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).

5.3.2Automatic Daylight Savings Time Changeover (DLS)

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.

5.3.3Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (LAT and LONG)

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.

5.3.4 Correction Factor (ADJ)

If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch on or off 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).

5.4Program 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:

nSelect a program number (see section 5.4.1)

oSet the day(s) of the program (see section 5.4.2)

pSet 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		“P01 On”	“P01 Off”
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

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.

5.4.4Examples

Example 1: The lights turn on at sunset and off at 11:00 pm every day (default setting).

Program	Days	Time	Program	Days	Time
P01 On	All 7	sunset	P01 Off	All 7	11:00
	days			days	pm
P02 On to	None	—	P02 Off to	None	—
P07 On			P07 Off

Example 2: The lights turn on at sunset and off at sunrise every day.

Program	Days	Time	Program	Days	Time
P01 On	All 7	sunset	P01 Off	All 7	sunrise
	days			days
P02 On to	None	—	P02 Off to	None	—
P07 On			P07 Off

Example 3: The lights turn on at 8:00 pm every day and turn off at 10:00 pm every day except on Saturday night when they turn off at 1:00 am.

Program	Days	Time	Program	Days	Time
P01 On	All 7 days	8:00 pm	P01 Off	Sunday (Su)	10:00 pm
P02 On	None	—	P02 Off	Monday (Mo)	10:00 pm
P03 On	None	—	P03 Off	Tuesday (Tu)	10:00 pm
P04 On	None	—	P04 Off	Wednesday (We)	10:00 pm
P05 On	None	—	P05 Off	Thursday (Th)	10:00 pm
P06 On	None	—	P06 Off	Friday (Fr)	10:00 pm
P07 On	None	—	P07 Off	Sunday (Su)	1:00 am

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”.

sKeypad Lock

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 state 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.

tReset to default Settings

To return the switch to its default settings, 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 flowchart).
