USER MANUAL
Memo BUS is an electronic digital time switch for the management over time of the electrical devices. It allows time programming (periodicity: daily, weekly or annual) or astronomical programming. Memo BUS has an on-board relay but it’s able to control up to nine different channels (relay); the other eight channels are realized by two remote actuators RX4-8A (available as an accessory), connected to the memo BUS via BUS. Each channel can be associated with a different programming (time or astronomical). Memo BUS also offers the possibility to connect via BUS a GPS module, GEO-1 (available as an accessory), that captures the time and the position through the satellite system, ensuring high accuracy over time. The backup battery keeps the settings even in case of power failure and can be replaced through the cover (sealable).

Astronomical coordinates setting menu
The setting of the geographical coordinates of the installation place allows memo BUS to calculate, for each day of the year, sunrise and sunset times. To simplify the procedure, in the memo BUS are stored the coordinates of the locations listed below; if your location is among them you can select it from the menu
, otherwise it’s necessary to enter the coordinates of latitude and longitude (menu ).
Note: the display on point
shows “---------” if the coordinates have been entered manually or captured via GPS.
Location stored in memo BUS: - Italy: all provinces
- United Kingdom: Cardiff, Belfast, Edinburgh, London
- Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia
- France: Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Toulouse
- Germany: Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Monaco
The correction of sunrise and sunset times is useful for applications that require the turning on of lights in particular localities. It’s possible, in fact, that the presence of disturbing elements, such as the mountains, can influence actual times of sunrise and sunset, making it necessary to advance or delay of a few minutes the calculated times.
The twilight is the time interval before sunrise, or after sunset, characterized by the permanence of the light due to the spread by the atmo­sphere of the Sun light. During these time intervals it’s possible to distinguish clearly objects and conduct outdoor activities without using additional lighting. Therefore, in some applications it is more interesting to take as times of switching on and off the twilight (civil) in place of sunrise and sunset. With memo BUS it’s possible to choose to turn on/off the loads depending on the times of sunrise and sunset or the civil twilight. The calculated time correction also applies to the times of twilight. To view the calculated switching on time (sunset) and switching off time (sunrise), from the main page press the key ok (see page 8).

Programs types
• Program ON/OFF: it is composed of a switching of the ON relay and of a subsequent switching of the OFF relay. It can have a daily period (everyday with the same modes), weekly (every week with the same modes), annual (every year with the same modes)*.
• PULSE ON Program: is an ON relay switching for a maximum duration of 59 seconds. It can have a daily period (everyday with the same modes), weekly (every week with the same modes), annual (every year with the same modes)*.
• PULSE OFF program: is a relay switching OFF for a maximum duration of 59 seconds. It can have daily period (everyday with the same modes), weekly (every week with the same modes), annual (every year with the same modes)*.
• HOLIDAY program: is a period of time defined by a start time and an end time within which all programmed switchings (of that channel) are disabled. The relay is in OFF position (OFF holiday) or in ON position (ON holiday).
* In the annual program, it’s possible to specify the month. In this case, the period is monthly (every month with the same modes). It’s also
possible to specify a definite date (the program carried out only once).
Channel types
• TIME channel: carries out programs of time type: ON / OFF, ON pulse, OFF pulse, holiday
• ASTRO channel: carries out programs of astronomical type, i.e. in the interval delimited by sunrise and sunset**: ON/OFF, ON pulse, OFF pulse, holiday, night programs (see pages 36-37). ON switchings set before sunset are carried out at sunset, OFF switchings set after sunrise are carried out at sunrise (except for some night programs that can have switching on or switching off during the day. See on page 36).
** times of sunrise and sunset are automatically calculated by memo BUS according to geographic coordinates set during installation. In
place of sunrise and sunset times it’s possible to use the times of civil twilight (see page 16).
English

Important: on the same channel can’t coexist ON pulses and OFF pulses (if an ON pulse is already present, it’s not possible to save a
holiday OFF program and vice versa).
Important: on the same channel can’t coexist holiday ON programs and holiday OFF programs (if a holiday ON program is already
present, it’s not possible to save a holiday OFF program and vice versa).
Important: a channel may be either of clockwise or of astronomical type, but it can’t be of both types simultaneously. It’s not possible
to save programs of astronomical type on a channel where are stored programs of time type (and vice versa). Messages of
(astro program on channel astro) and (time program on astro channel).
In this case to proceed it’s necessary to delete the saved programs on that channel (see page 49).
Programs priority
The priority programs defines how memo BUS manages the case in which programs with different period are running at the same time (1 indicates higher priority).
Program
Date* Annual Monthly Weekly Daily Holiday 1 Night 2 Pulse 3 On/Off 4 5 6 7 8
* Date: select day, month, year (program carried “only once in the life of the product”). If the month is not specified, the program is carried
out all days xx of all months of the specified year.

ENG
Priority list on/off
In case in which, on the same channel, on/off programs are provi­ded with different period (daily, weekly, ...) to carry out in the same day, only the program with the highest priority is executed.
Holiday program
The holiday program just begins and ends exactly at the specified times.
e
From this example it’s possible to see that the daily event on Monday is not carried out because in the same day it is provided the beginning of the week program (even if the daily program
of Monday begins and ends before the beginning of the weekly program). Instead, the daily program of Sunday is carried out because it’s the only one running for that day.

BUS VEMER MENU
ENG
Memo BUS enables you to control 9 independent channels but It has one relay (for channel 1). With additional RX4-8A modules It’s possible to add some relays and associate these relays to the channels of memo BUS. The remote actuators and memo BUS all together are named “network”.
“Bus Vemer” menu allows you to configure or to test the connection between memo BUS and the actuators
or share
programs among several memo BUS connected to the network
.
configure the outputs, to associate the channels of memo BUS
to the channels (relays) of the remote actuators
to test the connection, to verify the correct association among
the channels of memo BUS and the channels (relays) of the actuators
to send programs to the other memo BUS connected to the
network
to receive the programs from another memo BUS connected to
the network

Connection test
The test is used to verify proper communication between memo BUS and the remote actuator. It’s possible to test multiple channels simultaneously*. During the test a series of on-off commands are sent every 5 seconds to the relay in test. It’s possible to exit the test:
- by pressing the key
to exit the test and test another channel
- by pressing the key
to exit the test and return to the main page

Programs copy on the bus
This function allows you to transfer programs from a memo BUS to other memo BUS connected to the same network. It’s possible:
- to force the transfer to all other memo BUS connected to the network (
)
- to transfer programs only to memos BUS on which the reception mode* has been activated ( )
It’s not possible to select the programs to copy, the entire memory area is copied. The programs previously stored on memo BUS destination will be deleted.
Warning. The function

function
). The memo BUS remains in reception for 1 minute and this condition is signaled from the flashing
.
In the case where the reception is not successful the message
is displayed. Reception programs can take place at any time (even if the reception mode is not activated). This happens if another memo BUS connected to the network transmits by using the function

GPS MENU
ENG
GPS menu allows you to enable or disable the presence of the additional GEO-1 module. GEO-1 is a GPS module that allows you to capture the information of date, time and location from satellites and then to transfer them to memo BUS. With GEO-1 connected and enabled, memo BUS synchronizes date, time and location (latitude, longitude) every 30 minutes, signaling synchronization with a flashing symbol
(2 times). In this way the time of memo BUS is always synchronized and are canceled the drifts due to the tolerance of the oscillator which marks the time base.
To enable the presence of GEO-1:
set It’s also possible to display the status of the connection to GEO-1 (ok, waiting, error). From the status page, while by pressing the key
for at least 3 seconds it’s possible to force data sending from GEO-1 to memo BUS
(the display shows
).
To disable the presence of GEO-1:
set If GPS module is not connected, it’s advisable to set to avoid displaying unnecessary information message on the start page of memo BUS (see page 8).
Note: the internal oscillator which marks the time base allows memo BUS to maintain the updated time even without the presence of GEO-1.
In this case clock accuracy is ± 0.5 seconds per day.
