A Set language 2 Set time/date, summertime/wintertime

Summertime: ± 1 hour
Europe: Factory set
SPECIAL: The switchover to/from
summertime can be freely programmed by entering
a start date and end date and is then executed each
year on the same day of the week, e.g. Sunday
3 Programming
A program consists of an ON time, OFF time and associated on and off days.
Programs with predefined on/off days (Mon to Sun, Mon to Fri and Sat and Sun): for these programs,
you only need to set the switching times.
With the „INDIVIDUAL” option,
you can allocate switching times to
specific days of your choice.
The programs of a channel are combined
Set MON and TUES
with a logical OR.
as on/off days

*
CHRONO = All switch commands are executed in chronological order in a week
INPUT = Programs are executed in the order in which they are entered
4 Modes
• Auto - Automatic operation
• Constant ON
• Constant OFF
• Extra
The switch status imposed by the
program is inverted (manual override).
With the next effective switch command,
the time switch resumes control of on/off
switching.

5 Contrast adjustment  1 h-Test

When this function is activated, the output is switched on
for one hour.

After one hour, the time switch returns automatically to

the programmed mode.

 Hour counter
Displays the total relay ON time, (0 to 65535 h) and the date of the last reset.

 Random function
Function to simulate presence.
Function active: the programmed switching cycles are shifted at random within the range of ± 15 minutes.
 Pincode

PIN CODE active: The menus of the time switch will not be accessible unless the PIN CODE has been
entered. When the pin code is active, access to the button and key functions is disabled 1 minute after the
last button press.
PIN free access can be re-enabled by selecting PASSIVE or by resetting the device.

Example
 Expert mode
Some additional functions are available in Expert mode:
• Power grid synchronisation to improve the accuracy
• Cycle function
• Automatic channel switching

Note: Upon switching from ACTIVE to PASSIVE the additional menu items are hidden again and all the
Expert mode settings are cancelled. After re-activating, Expert mode will operate again with the basic
settings.
 Holiday

After activation the holiday program is executed between 0:00h on the start date and 24:00h on the end
date (Constant ON/OFF). After the holiday program has run once, it must be reactivated.
 Activating and deactivating grid synchronisation

Only available in EXPERT mode.

The default setting is PASSIVE. In order to improve the long-term accuracy, it is advisable to activate syn-
chronisation if the time switch is supplied from a on 50/60 Hz grid with frequency adjustment.
 Cycle function
Only available in EXPERT mode

For cyclical switch commands the switching on time is set by logical “OR“ of programs of all types. A fixed
cycle of ON and OFF time then operates within those limits. The cycle always starts with the ON time.
The cycle duration and the ON time within the cycle are the same length for all switching times. The cycle
duration and the ON time can be set independently in one-second increments. If the switching time is shor-
ter than the cycle duration, the cycle will be shortened accordingly. The ON time will remain unchanged. If
the switching time is actually shorter than the ON time, the ON time will be shortened accordingly.
