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.
7.1 Determining the sunset/sunrise parameters
Fill out the following table:
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
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 parameters
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 normal
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 following 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.
• Verify if light bulb is burned out
• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is at ON.
• Reset the switch using a paper clip.
Faded or irregular
display • Load is less than 40 W
• Ambient temperature is below freezing point
Cannot switch between 24-
hour format and
12-hour format First, press a control button 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.
• 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 metal plate is hot This is normal with high loads (maximum of 500 W).
After I have bypassed the pro-
gram 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 program. 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.
