1. Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing this product. This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements.

These operating instructions are part of this product. They contain important notes on commissioning and handling. Also consider this if you pass on the product to any third party.

Therefore, retain these operating instructions for reference!

If there are any technical questions, contact:

Germany: Tel. no.: +49 9604 / 40 88 80

Fax. no.: +49 9604 / 40 88 48 E-mail: tkb@conrad.de Mon. to Thur. 8.00am to 4.30pm, Fri. 8.00am to 2.00pm

2. General Information

• This PC software may be used to configure different switching functions as well as logical operations of the inputs.

• In the delivery condition, the operating mode „Power surge switch“ is preset.

• Data transfer to the multifunction timer is performed via the Voltcraft USB programming cable (Conrad item no. 197339).

• The data interface serves only parameter transmission. It must not be connected to a computer during operation.

The PC software is available free of charge at www.conrad.com in the download area for the „MFT1816“ (supported operating systems: Windows XP and higher)

Optocoupler inputs (polarity does not matter), switching, e.g, via buttons

The Voltcraft USB-programming cable (Conrad item no. 197339) is needed for data transfer. It must be connected to the J3-connection



of the multifunction timer.

Configuration by PC-software is performed in the potentiometer range of 98…100% (display by flashing LED „STAT“).

Switching of an input is explained in these operating instructions using the illustrated buttons. A pushed button is defined as a positive level. Since these are optocoupler inputs, only one current flow is decisive for switching. The polarity is irrelevant for this.

4. Installation of the PC Software

The installation programme is started via the file „MFT1816_Setup.exe“.

All other instructions are displayed via the installation programme.

The installation software suggests „MFT1816“ as target directory for installation and copies all the data needed into the selected directory. The installation programme also creates a programme group „MFT1816“ under „Programmes“ and a link on the desktop.

5. Operation of the PC Software

After the first programme start of the PC-software, a dialogue window appears in which the language and communications port (COM port) are determined. The settings in this window are saved with „OK“ and can later be changed via „Setup“.

The correct communications interface („Silicon Labs CP210xUSB to UART Bridge…“) in Windows is found in the control panel in the device manager, „Connections (COM & LPT)“.

The button „Refresh“ refreshes the list of the communications interfaces.

If the setting window is closed by „Cancel“, data transfer is not possible.

Selection and Transmission of a Function:

After confirmation of the language and COM port settings, the programme offers a selection of different switching functions.

After transferring of the desired settings, the Voltcraft USB programming cable must be disconnected from the multifunction timer. The device now performs the desired function as described in the following section.

Selection of the switching function type via tabs

Selection of the switching function and the associated settings

Button „Transfer Settings“ configures the connected Multifunction timer „MFT1816“ with the selected settings of the current tab

6. Available Functions

a) Staircase Lighting Timer

General:

• The maximum time that can be set for the staircase lighting timer by the PC software is 90 minutes.

• The service function or pre-warning function can be added optionally.

• If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed for a short time, a positive level is pending. The relay is activated at once.

When the button at the input „SET“ is released again, the relay remains activated for the set time T1.

• The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output.

Optional functions (only for staircase light machine)

Selection of the switching function type via the tab „Staircase Lighting Timer“

Selection of the activation time in the format „HH:MM:SS“

Selection of the switching function when the button is pushed again

Button „Transfer Settings“ configures the connected Multifunction timer „MFT1816“ as staircase lighting timer

 Options for the Staircase Light ing Timer

1. Prewarning function

Pre-warning structure:

After the end of the selected function with the set activation time T1, a 30-second pre-warning time T2 is attached. The relay swtiches off for a short time three times at reducing intervals within a pre-warning period T2. This deactivates the relay output.

If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed during the pre-warning function, the respective associated action is performed. When the pre-warning function selected, this is also done when the service function is ended. No other function is performed in such cases.

The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.

2. Service Function

The button at the input „SET“ must be kept pushed for >5 seconds (requirement: The relay is deactivated). Then the relay output is activated for the duration of 60 minutes.

Pushing the button again during the 60 minutes deactivates the relay output.

If the „Pre-warning function“ is set additionally, the warning sequence is added before the end of the time as described before.

After termination or end of the service function, the assembly is operational again as staircase light machine.

The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.

c) Sequence Functions

1. „Alternating Button (REL<->SEQ)“

Operation of the button at the input „SET“ toggles the relay output and the sequence output („OFF“ <-> „ON“).



The function is NOT started with the input „SET“ but is activated by transferring the function on the multifunction transmitter!

The function starts with activated relay output and deactivated sequence output.

First operation of the button at the input „SET“ => relay output deactivated, sequence output activated.

Second operation of the button at the input „SET“ => relay output activated, sequence output deactivated, etc.

Only when a button is pushed at the input „RESET“ both outputs will be deactivated.

After a reset, the function is re-started if the button at the input „SET“ is pushed (starting with activated relay outputs).

First operation of the button at the input „SET“ => relay output activated, sequence output deactivated.

Second operation of the button at the input „SET“ => relay output deactivated, sequence output activated.

Third operation of the button at the input „SET“ => relay and sequence output are deactivated, etc.

When a button is pushed at the input „RESET“ both outputs will be deactivated. After a reset, the function is re-started if the button at the input „SET“ is pushed (starting with activated relay outputs).

2. „Presence Simulation (Randomly Controlled)“

If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed, a positive level is pending and the switch between switch-on delay (T1) and break time (T2) takes place at once, starting with the activation time T1. The two times are random values between the minimum and maximum time entered by PC software.

If the button at the input „SET“ is pushed while the function is already running, this has no effect on the relay output.

The push of a button at the input „RESET“ deactivates the relay output immediately.
