The E-ATC supports up to 50 programmed events. Event control
actions may include Preset, Sequence, Off, or None. Events may be set
to occur and re-occur every day, on weekdays, on weekends, or on
individual days of the week.
Events can also be set to occur at a particular time of day by specifying
hours and minutes, and am. or pm., or with an offset time based on
an astronomical event, such as before sunrise, after sunrise, before
sunset, or after sunset.
It’s also possible to program master Open and Close settings that
remain available to all scheduled events. See
Open/Close Settings on
page18
.
Manual control replaces an active or scheduled event i n a last takes
precedence (LTP) manner. If there is not an active hold condition when
the next scheduled event should occur, the scheduled event will
execute and the manual control will be overridden.
Auto Timed Hold
All scheduled events support a configurable Auto Timed Hold
property with options of No, Yes, and While Closed. By default, all
events are set to use While Closed for the Auto Timed Hold setting.
Page 21
Configuration Manual 17
When a preset or sequence is manually triggered during an event and
Auto Timed Hold is set to Yes, that active event is placed on hold until
the interrupting action has completed and the hold timer lapses (hold
timer is default is 120 minutes), or in the case of the While Closed
setting, the Open event occurs.
When the hold timer expires, the currently scheduled event executes.
When a manual lighting control event occurs during an event, and
Auto Timed Hold set to No, the events schedule is not placed on hold.

When “Start Shut-Off” is selected, a five minute countdown begins.
At any time during this countdown, you may cancel the Holiday ShutOff by pressing the [Back] button.
After five minutes have lapsed, the Shut-Off executes an Off command
in the specified spaces and the status display shows the time
remaining before the Holiday Shut-Off expires. To reinstate the
normal event schedule, press the [HOLD] button.

Timed Hold will start, temporarily permitting the manual lighting
control. When the Hold Time expires, lights will shut-off in the
specified spaces, replacing any manual control, and Holiday Shut-Off
will be reinstated using the time remaining.

excluded from the Holiday Shut-Off feature, set to unaffected,
meaning their normal scheduled events will persist on schedule.
Spaces that are configured to Shut-Off will suspend all scheduled
events and their connected lights will be forced off for the selected
number of days. See

for more information.
Spaces set to Unaffected will continue to allow normally scheduled
events.
