TECHNICAL DATA DESCRIPTION

ZCM-31 digital time programmers are
used to realize time functions in automa­tion and control systems. Switching on /
switching off the device is related to sun-

set and sunrise (ofcial dawn and dusk).

The following information on geographic
coordinates of the clock’s installation
place, current date, and time difference
with regard to the universal time (GMT)
is used to calculate the time of sunrise
and sunset. The system calculates the
so-called ofcial time of sunrise and sun­set and this is the phase when the upper
edge of the Sun touches the horizon. Ad­ditionally, the system has the function of
a programmable night break and a pos­sibility to change the calculated sunrise/
sunset time in the range of ±120 min.
The device casing construction allows
the system to be installed on a TH35 rail
and additionally the casing can be sealed.
The system structure guarantees battery
backup of the settings in case of power
supply failure.

CAUTION:

To protect the programmer’s battery
during storage time, the ZCM-31 series
has a ‘storage mode’ default setting
with a minimum current consumption.

FEATURES

● control depending on current time in the

astronomical cycle,

● double modular casing with a protective

cover,

● IN control input,

● LCD with backlight,

● mounting on a TH35 rail.

The device is designed for sin­gle-phase installation and must be in­stalled in accordance with standards

CAUTION!

to the details included in this manual instruction.
Installation, connection and control should be

carried out by a qualied electrician staff, who

act in accordance with the service manual and
the device functions. In case of casing disman
tling, the guarantee is lost and an electr ic shock
may occur. Before installation make sure the
connection cables are not under voltage. Im
proper transport, storage, and use of the device

inuence its wrong functioning. It is not advis

able to install the device in the following cas­es: if any device part is missing or the devic e
is damaged or deformed. In case of improper
functioning of the device contact the producer.
