and the control is connected to a remote light dimmer, then the Sunset feature will
not function.
If it is desired to have the light clock raise the lights from the Min% level to the
Max% level several times per day (spiking), then have the lights turn completely off
at the end of the day, then the Output going to the light dimmer will need to be wired
to an Output relay that is assigned to one of the spare clocks (see spare clocks screen
description). The ON At and OFF At time of the Spare Clock event will have to be
set so that the Spare Clock relay is on during all of the events entered in the light
clock. At the end of the day the Spare Clock will reach the OFF At time and the relay
will turn off, turning the lights in the house completely off.
The graphic at the bottom of the screen shows the current time of day (dashed line
with an arrow at the top), and the time of day when the light clock relays will be on
(shaded area), or if the dimmer control option is used when the lights will be at the
maximum light level (also shaded area). The non-shaded area represents when the
light clock relays will be off or when the lights will be at the minimum light level (if
light dimmer is used).
