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 (ofcial 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 ofcial 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 qualied 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
inuence 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.
