General:

ASTRO is a digital time switch that calculates the sunset and sunrise 
times by using coordinates and real time clock. It operates according to 
the program setting and it has no need for a photocell sensor. Device 
could be used as astronomical or digital time switch.
ASTRO has two reserves to protect the real time clock and calender 
against power outage. 
For long term reserve there is CR2032 battery. If the device is powered, 
battery life is approx. 5 years. When the battery life is expired,the user is 
able to replace the battery easily.
Super capacitor is used for short time power failures. It supplies the 
device for 3-7 hours. In this case battery is not used, so battery level is 
conserved. 
 

NOTE1:

 Before commissioning the device, please insert the battery into 

the battery compartment .

NOTE2:

 If the device is not powered, ASTRO automatically enters power 

save mode to conserve the battery life. When the device is in this mode 
LCD screen is turned off. The screen would turn on when pressing any  
button and so the user would be able to change the settings and 
programming the device manually. After 15 seconds of inactivity, the 
screen would be turned off again. 

NOTE3: 

4 preset programs are available on the device.
Program 1 : Relay A      Astro        Sunset           ON
Program 2 : Relay A      Astro        Sunrise          OFF
Program 3 : Relay B     Astro         Sunset           ON
Program 4 : Relay B     Time          00:00             OFF
