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

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

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the RPLS740B/RPLS741B 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.

2.

5.1.2 Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the RPLS740B/RPLS741B 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 RPLS740B/RPLS741B 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 RPLS740B/RPLS741B 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 RPLS740B/RPLS741B is in Automatic or Random mode, you can press the main button at any
time to override the default state for the current program. The lights will turn off if they are on and vice versa.
The icon (On or Off) of the new state 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.

5.2 Time Menu

3.



The RPLS740B/RPLS741B 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 actual sunset time, see sections 5.3.3
and 5.3.4.



Quick Start-up

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

Operation

The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been 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)

4.

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 (DLS)

When automatic daylight savings time changeover is on (DLS On), the RPLS740B/RPLS741B changes to

RPLS740B/RPLS741B 1/8

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 coordinates (or those of a nearby city), see the coordinates table. You can

LAT and LONG

)

also obtain this information at www.geonames.org or with a Global

“P01 On” “P01 Off”

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.

5.3.4 Correction Factor (ADJ)

If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries
instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch on or off 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 7 “On” programs
(“P01 On” to “P07 On”) and 7 “Off”
programs (“P01 Off” to “P07 Off”). For
example, 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. (When you scroll, the sunset time and

sunrise time appear between 11 pm and 12 am.)
(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.

Example 3: The lights turn on at 8:00 pm every day and turn off at

1:00 am.

P01 On All 7 days 8:00 pm P01 Off Sunday (Su) 10:00 pm
P02 On None — P02 Off Monday (Mo) 10:00 pm

P04 On None — P04 Off Wednesday (We) 10:00 pm
P05 On None — P05 Off Thursday (Th) 10:00 pm
P06 On None — P06 Off Friday (Fr) 10:00 pm
P07 On None — P07 Off Sunday (Su) 1:00 am

Be careful about overlapping!

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 “P01 Off” is set to an earlier time than
“P02 Off”.

Reset to default Settings

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.

5.1 Menu Mode

Vous pouvez utiliser le menu Mode pour sélectionner l’un des trois modes de fonctionnement (voir les
sections 5.1.1 à 5.1.3).

5.1.1 Mode Manuel

En mode Manuel, le RPLS740B/RPLS741B fonctionne comme un interrupteur conventionnel.
Pour allumer ou éteindre les lumières, appuyer brièvement sur la touche principale. L’icône
apparaît lorsque l’interrupteur est en mode Manuel.

5.1.2 Mode Automatique

En mode Automatique, le RPLS740B/RPLS741B allume et éteint les lumières selon les
programmes réglées (voir la section 5.4). L’icône ainsi que le numéro du programme en

cours sont affichés.

5.1.3 Mode Aléatoire

En mode Aléatoire, le RPLS740B/RPLS741B n’a pas de moment précis pour allumer ou
éteindre les lumières. Ce mode sert à donner l’impression que votre résidence est occupée
pendant votre absence. Il est semblable au mode Automatique, sauf qu’il n’y a pas de
programme fixe. Les programmes sont automatiquement réglés chaque jour par le RPLS740B/

RPLS741B à des heures différentes. L’icône apparaît lorsque l’interrupteur est en mode
Aléatoire.
Le premier programme « Marche » se produit au coucher du soleil. Chaque programme
« Marche » dure entre 1 heure et
minutes. Le dernier programme « Arrêt » se produit entre 22h30 et minuit.
