8) How to…
•
Increase certainty that a command is received:
activate the command 2 or more times at the same
time (copying the event) or a second time on the next
minute.
•
Exit SRCW 06T from any programming or
operating mode:
press key
■
repeatedly until the
text “Auto” starts flashing, after which press key
▼
to
select the required operating mode.
•
Measure the difference between the time
shown on the clock and the real solar time:
the value required by the special command “planetary
time” is, in practice, the difference between the mid-
day indicated by the clock and the actual midday of
the location. A very simple method to measure this
value is to observe the shadow made by the sun on an
object (preferably perfectly vertical and pointed, such
as a pole); the shadow shortens until midday (solar
time) and then lengthens again in the afternoon. The
solar midday occurs when the shadow reaches the
shortest length with respect to the base of the object.
When this happens, at the time indicated by the clock,
subtract one hour if in summer time (legal time) and
then calculate the different in minutes with respect to
the time 12.00; the result is the value to be entered in
SRCW 06T. For example, if the actual solar midday
occurs at 12.25 the value 25 should be entered; if it
occurs at 11.47 the value-13 should be entered.
Note: the method described does not take into account
a number of astronomical phenomena but the possible
error margin is irrelevant for operation of SRCW 06T
8.1) Error list
On vary rare occasions there may be a SRCW 06T malfunction; if this occurs the cause of the error is always specified.
The following table lists the errors and possible solutions.

Description

Err1

Err5
Memory full
Communication error between internal
components of SRCW 06T
Error in parameters of one or more
events
The special „holiday“ command
parameters have been changed after
some events were calculated with the
previous parameters.
The special „planetary time“ command
parameters have been changed after
some events were calculated with the
previous parameters
Over 100 events have already been programmed and
there is no more space for others. No solution; the last
event will not be memorised.
Very specific fault; remove and refit the battery and check.
Some parameters of memorised events are not correct;
this may be a communication error between internal
components of SRCW 06T; remove and refit the battery
and check. If the error persists, enter event modification
mode and check the parameters of all events.
Nothing serious, but bear in mind that the next events
have been calculated on the basis of the old parameters;
the new parameters will be used by the next execution of
the event onwards.
The parameters should not be changed after programming
events; in this case ensure correctness of events after
modifications.
