Overview

  1. Function Description
  2. Important Technical Specifications
  3. Usage Features
  4. Maintenance Features

This document describes a programmable timer device, likely for controlling electrical loads based on time and light conditions.

Function Description

The device is a programmable timer with various operating modes and features, including:

  • Time-based Control: Allows setting specific times for switching loads ON/OFF.
  • Light-based Control (Twilight Switch): Utilizes an external light sensor to activate/deactivate loads based on ambient light levels. This feature can be combined with time control.
  • Astronomical Clock Function: Calculates sunrise and sunset times based on geographical coordinates, enabling automatic adjustment of switching times throughout the year.
  • Pulse Mode: Generates short pulses for specific applications.
  • Cycle Mode: Repeats ON/OFF cycles with configurable durations.
  • Manual Control: Allows temporary or permanent manual override of programmed settings.
  • Holiday Mode: Temporarily deactivates programmed functions for a specified period.
  • Random Mode: Introduces slight variations to programmed switching times to simulate human presence.
  • Backlight Control: Adjustable display backlight intensity.
  • PIN Protection: Secures device settings with a PIN code.
  • External Input: Supports an external input for various functions, such as switching modes or activating/deactivating the device.

The device offers a high degree of flexibility in programming, allowing users to combine different modes and settings to create complex control sequences. It can be used for various applications, including lighting control, irrigation systems, and other automated processes.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Supply Voltage: 230V AC (50/60 Hz)
  • Maximum Load Current (AC-1): 16A
  • Power Consumption: 0.8W
  • Number of Channels: 1
  • Battery Type: CR2032 (replaceable)
  • Battery Life: Approximately 3 years
  • Accuracy: ±1 second/day
  • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +50°C
  • Protection Degree: IP20
  • Mounting: DIN rail
  • External Input: Yes (for twilight sensor, external button, or other functions)
  • Display: LCD with backlight
  • Memory: Stores up to 100 program steps
  • Twilight Sensor: External, with adjustable sensitivity (lux range: 1-100,000 lux) and delay (1-240 minutes)

Usage Features

  • Intuitive Programming: The device features a clear LCD display and a user-friendly interface with buttons for navigation and setting adjustments.
  • Multiple Programming Modes:
    • Automatic Mode: Executes programmed functions.
    • Manual Mode: Allows temporary or permanent manual override.
    • Holiday Mode: Disables programming for a set period.
    • Random Mode: Adds variability to switching times.
    • Cycle Mode: Repeats ON/OFF cycles.
    • Pulse Mode: Generates short pulses.
  • Astronomical Clock: Automatically adjusts ON/OFF times based on sunrise/sunset, configurable with an offset (e.g., 30 minutes before sunset).
  • Twilight Switch: Uses an external sensor to detect ambient light, with adjustable sensitivity (lux) and delay to prevent flickering.
  • External Input: Can be configured to accept input from a button (e.g., for manual override, switching modes) or a twilight sensor.
  • PIN Protection: Prevents unauthorized access to settings.
  • Backlight: Adjustable display backlight for better visibility in different lighting conditions.
  • Time Synchronization: The device can be synchronized with an external time source (not explicitly detailed, but implied by accuracy specifications).
  • Geographical Coordinates: Allows setting latitude and longitude for precise astronomical calculations.
  • Daylight Saving Time (DST): Automatic adjustment for DST.
  • Program Steps: Stores a significant number of program steps (up to 100), allowing for complex schedules.
  • Quick Programming: Features like "copy/paste" and "block programming" simplify the creation of schedules.
  • Visual Indicators: The display shows current status, active modes, and upcoming events.
  • Error Messages: Provides clear error messages for incorrect settings or malfunctions.
  • Language Selection: Supports multiple languages for the user interface.
  • Factory Reset: Option to restore default settings.

Maintenance Features

  • Battery Replacement: The CR2032 battery is user-replaceable, ensuring continued operation and data retention during power outages. The manual provides instructions for battery replacement.
  • Error Diagnostics: The device displays error codes or messages to assist in troubleshooting. For example, "Err 1" indicates a controller error.
  • Firmware Updates: While not explicitly detailed, modern programmable timers often support firmware updates to improve functionality or fix bugs.
  • Cleaning: The device should be kept clean and free from dust to ensure proper operation.
  • External Sensor Maintenance: If an external twilight sensor is used, it should be kept clean and unobstructed for accurate light detection.
  • Regular Checks: Periodically checking the programmed settings and device operation is recommended to ensure it functions as intended.
  • Data Backup: Although not explicitly mentioned as a feature, it's good practice to record complex programming schedules externally in case of a complete device failure or accidental reset.
  • Compliance: The device is designed to comply with relevant safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, as indicated by CE marking and other certifications.
  • Technical Support: The manufacturer provides technical support and resources for troubleshooting and assistance.
