time schedule. If activated again, the toggle switch will
turn the loads back on - last input override.
GROUP TYPES
A group describes two things: which relays are
controlled together, and how they are controlled.
Groups MUST BE USED when controlling more
than 8 relays and with all time schedules.
Up to 32 groups are available. Any relay(s) in any
panel(s) can be assigned to a GROUP.
There are two types of GROUPS:
Maintain Style Groups
Just like the maintain control, starting a maintain
contact (or time schedule) will turn a maintain style
group on, and when the contact is open or the
schedule is off, the group is turned off.
When a Maintain style group is first switched on, the
relays within that group are switched on too, with
one exception. (See NO AUTOMATIC ON option
under Programming Groups).
While the GROUP is “on” the relays within that
group will respond normally when switched on and
off by a digital wall switch.
The relays are switched off when the GROUPS are
switched off, with one exception (see MAINTAIN +
BLINK below).
When “Maintain+Timer” or “Maintain+Off Sweep”
Groups are off the relays are in “timer mode”: which
means if the relays are turned on when the Group is
off, they will remain on for a (programmable) timed
period. Maintained Groups are used in the following
circumstances:
Outdoor time schedules usually use a Maintain 1.
style group.
Indoor time schedules usually use a 2.
Maintain+Timer or Maintain+Blink Group which
allow relays to be in a “timer mode” when the
group is off.
When a photocell is connected to a photocell 3.
card (not directly to the BLUE BOX panel) and
turns more than 8 relays both on and off.
(BASIC)
MAINTAIN
GROUP
Used by time schedules or for any
maintained device (eg. photosensor
card triggers) controlling more than
8 loads. When the GROUP is ON
the loads are ON, and when the
GROUP is OFF, the loads are OFF.
MAINTAIN +
TIMER
GROUP
Usually used only with Time
Schedules. When the GROUP is
ON, the loads are ON. When the
GROUP is OFF and relays in that
GROUP are in Timer Mode, timer
duration is programmable. When
the GROUP is ON, the relays
cannot be in TIMER MODE, when
the GROUP is OFF, you can place
the relays in TIMER MODE.
MAINTAIN +
BLINK
GROUP
Works the same as MAINTAIN +
TIMER except a “blink” or “flick”
warning is issued prior to shutting
loads off.
Momentary Style Groups
Any momentary pulse, or any single button press will
trigger a momentary group once.
Momentary style groups are used in the following two
circumstances to turn relays on or off:
When a digital switch, a contact closure, or 1.
photocell trigger switches more than 8 relays
either “on” or “off ” only or,
When a time schedule only switches relays either 2.
“on” or “off,” but not both.(See table below).
MOMENTARY
ON
“On Mode” - any number of loads
MOMENTARY
OFF
“Off Mode” - any number of loads
MOMENTARY
MIXED
“Mixed Mode” - any number of
loads
