tSunset/Sunrise Program

NOTE: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise parameters, the timer will follow the sunrise/sunset program when placed in Automatic mode. To set your own schedule, see section 8.

7.1Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters

Fill out the following table:

Latitude Longitude Day # nor/Ad Lc

1)LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: Enter the coordinates of your city or the nearest city using the supplied table. If none of the cities in the table is applicable, this infor- mation is usually available on the internet.

NOTE: Add a minus sign when entering a south latitude coordinate or a west longi- tude coordinate.

2)DAY #: Enter the day #. (Add the code of the current month to the current date.)

For example: For June 24th, the day # = 151 + 24 = 175

January	0	May	120	September	243
February	31	June	151	October	273
March	59	July	181	November	304
April	90	August	212	December	334

3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the appropriate period.

nor	Standard time / Normal time / Winter time
Ad	Daylight savings time / Advanced time / Summer time

4)Lc: If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch On/Off too early or too late with respect to sunrise and sunset. Therefore, apply a correction factor (+1 or -1). Otherwise, leave it at 0.

7.2Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters

Once you have completed section 7.1, proceed as follows:

nPress the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The parameters appear in the following order.

Parameter	Default	Possible	Buttons
	setting	settings	used
Latitude (LAT)	00	-65 to 65	HOUR & MIN
Longitude (LONG)	000	-180 to 180	HOUR & MIN
Day number (DAY #)	000	1 to 365	HOUR & MIN
Daylight savings time	nor	nor / Ad	MIN
Local correction factor (Lc)	0	-1, 0, 1	MIN

oPress the HOUR or MIN button to modify the value (see table above for the buttons to use).

pPress one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

uProgramming the Schedule

NOTE: This section allows you to set your own schedule.

The switch can hold 2 programs which are repeated every day. When you place the timer in Automatic mode, it will activate the load at the start of each program and deactivate it at the end of the program. You need to set the following parameters:

P1 ON : Start time of program 1

P1 OFF : End time of program 1

P2 ON : Start time of program 2

P2 OFF : End time of program 2

nPress the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.

TI034-3W

If you have entered your city’s parameters (see section 7), the parameters P1 ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and sunrise time for this time of the year. If the timer is used for lighting, when placed in AUTO mode, it will turn the light ON at sunset and will turn it Off at sunrise. For example:

P1 ON		:	20:38 (sunset)
P1	OFF	: --:--(blank)
P2	ON	: --:--(blank)
P2 OFF		:	6:10 (sunrise)

oPress the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the time.

Example: If you want your lights to turn On at sunset and to turn Off at 10:00 PM, set P1 OFF to 22:00. If you also want your lights to turn back On at 5:00 AM then turn Off at sunrise, set P2 ON to 5:00.

P1 ON	:	20:38 (sunset)
P1 OFF	:	22:00 (programmed)
P2 ON	:	5:00 (programmed)
P2 OFF	:	6:10 (sunrise)

NOTE: P1 OFF and P2 OFF have priority over P1 ON and P2 ON respectively. For example, if sunrise is at 4:58 and P2 ON is set to 5:00, the lights will not turn on.

You can replace the sunrise and sunset times by fixed times. Select program P1 ON or P2 OFF and enter the desired time using the HOUR and MIN buttons.

pPress one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

Clearing a programmed time

nPress the PGM button to display the programmed time.

oPress the CODE button. The time will be erased and --:--will be displayed.

NOTE: For P1 ON and P2 OFF, if you have programmed the city parameters, the programmed time will be replaced by sunset time and sunrise time respectively.

pPress one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.
