7-day Solar Programmable Wall Switch



The PLS550A/PLS551A programmable wall switch can be used in a single-switch or 3-way installation with the following types of lighting:

• Incandescent • Halogen • Low-voltage halogen with transformer • Fluorescent

The PLS550A/PLS551A switch cannot be used with a load of less than 40 W or more than 500 W.



Applications

Installation

 Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.  Remove the existing switch. (For a 3-way installation, identify and label the wire connected to the

“common” screw.)

 Install the new switch (see the appropriate section below).  Apply power at the circuit breaker.

WARNING: Disconnect power to the switch when replacing a light bulb (see sect ion 4).

SINGLE-SWITCH INSTALLATION



The switch 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.





Quick Start-up

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

Operation

Setup 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.

5.1 Mode Menu

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

Connect the LINE and 3-WAY wires to the line (120 V) wire and LOAD wire to the load. Connect the GND wire to a ground screw inside the electrical box.

EXISTING 3-WAY INSTALLATION

Connect the LOAD wire on the PLS550A/PLS551A to the “common” wire, which you identified when removing the old switch. Connect the GND wire to a ground screw inside the electrical box. 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 PLS550A/PLS551A is connected.

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the switch 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 switch 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 switch 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 switch 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 switch is in Automatic or Random mode, you can pr ess the main button at any time t o o verride th e default state for the current program. The lights will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The new state icon (On or Off) 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

“P01 On” “P01 Off”

2 sec.

The time display flashes on the screen when the t ime has not yet be en 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 PLS550A/PLS551A 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 coordin ate s ( or t hose of a ne arby city), see the coordinates table. You can also obtain t his information at www.geonames.org 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:

 Select a program number (see section 5.4.1)  Set the day(s) of the program (see section 5.4.2)  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”). 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. (

sunrise time

(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.

When you scroll, the sunset time and

appear between 11 pm and 12 am

For example, 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 “P 01 Of f ” is se t to an earlie r time th an “P02 Of f”.

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).



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:
