No (NONE) Scheduled Event
In some cases you may desire that nothing at all
happen (e.g. no “off time”). In our schedule, this
Scheduled Event is referred to as “NONE”.

Photocell Scheduled Events
A photocell connected directly to the photocell
input of the Master Blue Box LT, controls relays
only through any of the first 8 time schedules. Each
Schedule may have a unique trigger level, and may
be applied to any relay(s) in any panel(s), creating a
global photocell.
Refer to “Programming a Blue Box LT Photocell” for
programming details.

Control Types
“Control Types” describes how loads are controlled by
schedules, switches, photocells, or DI Cards (via contact
closure switches). When controlling more than 8 relays
or when any time schedule is used, “Groups” must be
used and the Toggle feature is not available.
TOGGLE A momentary contact will toggle up to
8 loads on or off.
ON MODE A momentary contact will issue an “on”
command to as many as 8 loads.
OFF MODE A momentary contact will issue an “off ”
command to as many as 8 loads.
MIXED
MODE
A momentary contact will switch one
set of loads “on” and another set of
loads “off ” at the same time.
MAINTAIN Loads are ON for the duration of a
closure and OFF when the closure
is opened. Similar to the way a wall
switch makes and then breaks a circuit
to turn lights on or off.
Photosensor Card Triggers are usually
programmed as maintain, as is any
maintained contact closure device such
as a wall switch or a relay closure from
(for instance) a security system.
GROUPs
(1-32)
To control more than 8 loads, or when
programming a time schedule, always
use GROUPs.
Last Input Override
Your digital lighting controls use a logic structure
called “last input override” and as such, other inputs
can affect the loads too. Example: A load is toggled
on from one location and then switched off by a
