Lighting/Pulse Meter Programming
Momentary Override:
The digital input acts like a toggle switch. This must also be a momentary N.O. switch. If the time
clock is on, pressing the switch turns it off, If the time clock is off, pressing the switch turns it on.
Monitor mode:
the digital input acts as a monitor for the DI and has no other function.
Astronomical Time
The Astronomical time function may be set up on any of the channels. It controls the enabled light channel for the daylight
period from sunrise to sunset.
To configure astronomical time:
1. Enter the Latitude and Longitude parameters for the location being controlled.
2.
Enter the time offset from GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). For example, the USA Central Standard time zone is offset
–360 minutes from GMT. Madison, Wisconsin, USA is at 43° 5 minutes North (+) Latitude and 98° 30 minutes west
(+) Longitude. The GMT offset range is + 720 minutes.
3.
Select the channel(s) that should have the astronomical time function.
To enable all lighting channels that are programmed to use Astronomical Time to adjust the time of day during Daylight
Saving Time, select “Automatic” from the Daylight Saving Control drop-down menu.
Selecting “Manual/Off” from the drop-down will disable all lighting channels that are programmed to use Astronomical
Time from adjusting to Daylight Savings Time.
Clicking on the “Add 1 hour” option will add an hour to the start time of any lighting channel programmed to use
Astronomical Time.”
NOTE:
For non-North American Daylight Saving Time, set the manual DLS (Day Light Saving) Time.
Channel Occupant Override
A good example of the use of this feature is to allow for a cleaning crew to come in, guaranteeing the lights would not
remain on after the crew has left. This is the number of minutes from 0 to 255 (4 hr, 15 min) which the controller will bring
a system that is OFF to ON when its override button is pressed. This time can be different for each channel.
Occupied Override
Select whether to allow an occupied override and if so, whether it will be a schedule or channel override.
Holiday Vanishing
Choose whether to enable the Holiday Vanishing Feature. If checked, the controller will make the number of days
for a holiday zero after the holiday is over. This will keep the holiday from occurring in subsequent years if it is not
reprogrammed.
Digital Input Delay/Filter
Enable the Digital Input Delay by checking the 15 Second Filter for DI Regular Mode box. Do this if you want the Digital
Input to be present for 15 seconds before it takes effect. This can prevent cycling.
NOTE:
If selected, this delay will apply to all eight channels.
Maximum Power Down Period
If the controller loses power, it will remember which channels have been overridden and how much time is remaining in each
override period. This is the amount of continuous power loss time in minutes where the controller will remember the override
status. If the controller loses power for longer than this period, the override buttons will have to be pressed again as necessary.
Input Voltage 24VAC Calibration Factor
The input voltage is monitored; the calibration factor is used to scale the controller’s 24VAC power input to the appropriate
line voltage.
