OPERATING MODES
The programmable switch offers two operating modes: MANUAL and
AUTOMATIC.
In MANUAL mode, it operates as a conventional switch. You can then turn the light “OFF” or “ON” by pressing on the door. The screen dis- plays “MAN” and the status of the light (“ON” or “OFF”).
In AUTOMATIC mode, the switch runs the recorded program. To acti- vate this mode, press on the door (approximately 3 seconds) until “AUTO” is displayed. The screen displays the active program number as well as its “ON” or “OFF” status.
To temporarily override the programming, simply press on the door. The new status of the light flashes to indicate that this status is tempo- rary.
To exit the “AUTO” mode, press on the door (approximately 3 seconds) until “MAN” is displayed.
DEFINITION OF YOUR CITY’S PARAMETERS
Before programming your switch, complete the following table by answering the questions:
Latitude |
| Longitude |
| DAY # |
| nor/Ad |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1)LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: What are the latitude and longitude of your residence? Identify the city closest to yours in the table. If none is listed in the table, this information is usually available on road maps (latitude: horizontal lines and longitude: vertical lines).
Ex.: Paris 48,2; means Latitude 48 N and Longitude 2 E.
Note that SOUTH latitudes and WEST longitudes are indicated with a minus sign. The maximum latitude is +/- 65º.
2)DAY # : What is the day of the year?
Add the month code (see table below) to the day’s date.
Ex.: If today is June 24th:
DAY # = 151 + 24 = 175
P1 | ON | 21:50 | Sundown |
P1 | OFF | free | |
P2 | ON | free | |
P2 | OFF | 5:58 | Sunrise |

January | 0 | July | 181 |
February | 31 | August | 212 |
March | 59 | September | 243 |
April | 90 | October | 273 |
May | 120 | November | 304 |
June | 151 | December | 334 |
3)nor/Ad : Does your country use daylight saving time (advanced time) in the summer? If so, in which period of the year are you?
Ex. : In France, on June 24th, we are in daylight saving time (Ad).
nor/Ad = Ad
P1 | ON | 20:38 | Sundown |
P1 | OFF | 22:00 |
|
P2 | ON | 5:00 |
|
P2 | OFF | 5:10 | Sunrise |

LC: Does your country follow the rules of the standard time according to its position in relation to Greenwich or has it set the time in a more practical way?
Since this programmable switch can be used anywhere in the world, it is based on the universal time (24 time zones, each increasing by one hour toward the East starting at Greenwich). For practical reasons how- ever, some time zones have been redefined (in order to respect a fron- tier or for reasons of economy).
In this case, to remain compatible with the universal time, you need to enter a local correction factor.
Ex:Since the second world war, France has adopted Central European time (GMT+1). Thus, its local correction factor will be:
LC = 1
SETTING THE TIME
1.Lift the lower side of the door with a flat screwdriver.
2.Set the time by pressing on the HOUR and MIN buttons.
3.Press on one of the SAVE buttons to record the time and return to the MANUAL or AUTOMATIC operating mode.
RECORDING YOUR PARAMETERS
Now, you only need to program the parameters previously defined into your programmable switch.
Note: If you make a mistake while entering data, select the
1.Press once on the CODE button.
-The screen displays “Latitude 00”.
-Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter your latitude.
2.Press again on the CODE button.
-The screen displays: “Longitude 000”.
-Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter your longitude.
3.Press again on the CODE button
-The screen displays “Day # 000”.
-Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to enter the day #.
4.Press again on the CODE button.
-The screen displays “nor” (normal).
-Use the MIN button to switch from Standard time (“nor”) to
5.Press again on the CODE button.
-The screen displays “LC 0”.
-Use the MIN button to enter the local correction factor.
You have now completed the setting of your parameters. Press on one of the SAVE buttons to record your parameters and return to the MAN- UAL or AUTOMATIC operating mode.
