Index
The Light Symphony iTimer is a wireless device. This means it receives
commands from the remote control and is able to send control ’messages’ to the light-
ing control modules in the garden using its antenna only.
Connect the items below together then to a spare port on your router, as shown*.
* The Timer can work without an internet connection but will not auto-reset the clock after a
power-cut. An internet connection is essential for the App and Cloud functions.

Locating the iTimer in the best position is important and the diagram below shows
why. A key function of the iTimer is to ‘echo’ commands received from the remote
control(s) to the garden. This creates a very reliable system because the iTimer and
Lighting Control Modules don‘t move, which makes the signal-path constant and
therefore consistent, meaning it will always work!
Remote iTimer Lighting Control
control Module
For the iTimer’s signal to reach the outdoor ‘Lighting Control Modules’, it should be
located somewhere that gives good radio coverage of the garden. The iTimer is not
water-proof and so must be fitted indoors, but try to fit it where it has the best ‘radio-
view’ to the garden i.e. with as few obstacles in the way as possible, such as buildings
and walls.
Radio signals do pass through most non-metallic materials but the thicker they are the
more signal is lost. As a rough guide, each standard cavity-wall will reduce the range
by 50% (1000M to 500M). Radio signals do not pass easily through metallic obstacles
such as reinforced concrete or garage doors, and significant range will be lost.
The iTimer does not need day-to-day attention, so it can be fitted in a discrete loca-
tion. An example is a loft-space, since the roof usually gives a good radio-view of the
front and back garden.
If ‘Repeater’ units are included in the installation, please pay special attention to the
radio link between the iTimer and the repeaters, as detailed in the instructions for
these units.

Dusk / Dawn Time & Location
The iTimer includes an astronomical clock which calculates Dusk and Dawn times
throughout the year. This can be useful for setting timers; for example you may like
the lighting to switch on (as it gets dark) at dusk, and switch off again at 11pm. In this
case, the ‘on’ time will automatically adjust throughout the year to match
seasonal daylight hours.
Dusk and Dawn times vary slightly depending on your location. For example, sunset
(dusk), in the winter months, is a few minutes earlier in the north of the country than
in the South. Therefore the iTimer can be tailored to a specific location to ensure the
dusk and dawn times are calculated as accurately as possible.
By default, the iTimer assumes its location is Birmingham, which will give
reasonably accurate results for the whole of the UK (+/-5 minutes).
However, if you wish to improve on this, then navigate to the “Location” menu and
select a town nearest to you.
Setting Location
Navigate to the ‘Location’ menu by pressing
the “OK” key once then pressing the DOWN
key until the cursor points to ‘Location.
Press “OK” to select the page, shown here ...
Press “OK” to select and edit the Country and City fields.
Lastly, navigate to BACK and press “OK”to return to the main menu.
