This screen changes depending on the value of
the Controller parameter. By default, this is set
to “Astro”. In this case, the dark and light events
are determined by sunrise and sunset, which is
dependent on the values you set on the Location
Setup screen.
For the Dark and Light parameters, you set
whether the relays belonging to the group will turn
“On”, turn “Off”, or “Do Nothing”.
The next parameter can be set to “More Light”
or “Less Light”. This parameter, in conjunction
with the following Time parameter, determines
when the event will bet triggered in relation to the
actual sunrise and sunset time. More/Less light
refers to the amount of “daytime”/”nighttime”. The
time parameter can be selected in two minutes
increments, and is equally divided between before
and after the actual sunrise/sunset time. The
More Light parameter acts as if the time between
sunrise and sunset was longer (more daytime), and
Less Light acts as if there were less time between
sunrise and sunset (less daytime). So if you select
Less Light with a time value of 20 minutes, the
Dark event will trigger 10 minutes before sunset
and the Light event will trigger 10 minutes after
sunrise. See the chart on page 11 for more
details of this example.
Finally, you assign a Group for this event, to
control the relays belonging to that group.

Dark/Light Event 1
ACTIVE DAYS DONE
If you change the Controller parameter to one
of the “LMIO-301” values, dark light events are
instead triggered by photocell sensor input.
Although multiple LMIO-301s may be connected to
the network, only a single one can be programmed
using the LMCT. Select the number of the LMIO-
301 you wish to assign. The LMIO-301 with the
highest serial number will have the lowest ID, and
so on.
Once you select a value and scroll down to the
next parameter, the screen changes. Two new
parameters are displayed below Dark and Light.
The Setpoint is the amount of foot candles that
will determine when the Dark and Light events are
triggered. (When the light becomes brighter than
the Setpoint, it triggers the Light event, and when it
becomes darker, it triggers the Dark event.)
The Delay parameter sets the amount of time after
the Setpoint is reached that the event is actually
triggered. This helps prevent unwanted event
triggering, for example, when the light temporarily
gets darker because of a cloud passing over the
sun.
