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
3) nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the appropriate
period.
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.
7.2 Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters
Once you have completed section 7.1, proceed as follows:
n
Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The param-
eters appear in the following order.
o
Press the HOUR or MIN button to modify the value (see table above for
the buttons to use).
p
Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to nor-
mal operation.
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 fol-
lowing parameters:
n
Press the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.
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:
o
Press 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.
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.
p
Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to
normal operation.
Clearing a programmed time
n
Press the PGM button to display the programmed time.
o
Press 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.
p
Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to
normal operation.

Troubleshooting 9.
Blank display • Verify circuit breaker at main panel.
• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is at ON.
• Reset the switch using a paper clip.
Faded or irregular
display Ambient temperature below freezing point
Cannot switch between 24-
hour format and
12-hour format First, press one of the control buttons so that
MAN or AUTO appears on display.
Programs do not run as
expected • Make sure the switch is properly programmed.
• Note that - : - - indicates an inactive program,
00:00 indicates midnight.
• If the switch has been configured for
12-hour format, check that PM appears on the left
side of the screen when an afternoon time is dis-
played.
The switch resets itself with-
out apparent reason when
used to control an inductive
load such as a relay or a
contactor. The reset is caused by the load. Install a snubber
(AC130-03) at each relay/contactor.
After I have bypassed the
program to turn the light Off,
it turns back On at midnight. Any temporary bypass is cancelled at midnight.
Thus, the light has turned back On, the state the
light should be at midnight according to the pro-
gram. If you often bypass programming before
midnight, you should program P1 OFF to midnight
or earlier. This ensures that the light will remain
Off when you bypass programming.
