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

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.

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”).

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

P06 On None — P06 Off Friday (Fr) 10:00 pm
P07 On None — P07 Off Sunday (Su) 1:00 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:
