Type-name definition
The type-name of a Galax timer is a unique
designation that includes the main features of the
timer. It is composed of 5 parts:
- GLX: abbreviation for Galax
- Q: quartz synchronised
- 11, 21, 22, 62 or 64 of which the first figure
represents the width of the device in number of
modules, while the second figure represents the
number of channels
- D, W or Y, indicating daily, weekly or yearly
operation
- A figure representing the number of programming
steps, going from 12 up to 400.
Terminology
Program per channel
Examples
- 1x24x60 is a daily timer (1x24); minimum duration
between 2 subsequent switchings (=shortest
switching time) is 1 minute (x60).
- 7x24x60 is a weekly timer (7x24); minimum
duration between 2 subsequent switchings is
1 minute (x60).
- 365x24x3600 is a yearly timer (365x24); minimum
duration between 2 subsequent switchings is
1 second (x3600).
Number of programming steps
This figure represents the total number of events
that can be programmed in the device. An event is
understood to be a change in the output-state.
Example:
If for one particular day, output 1 of a GLX Q 22 W
40 has to switch to the on-state at 8:45, output 2 at
10:25 and both have to be de-energised again at
11:45, three programming steps need to be used.
After this sequence has been programmed, the
timer has 37 free programming steps left.
Block-programming
Block-programming allows to repeat the same
events on different days, without sacrificing
additional programming steps.
Coming back to the above example, if all events
have to take place all days of the week except i.e.
on Tuesday and Sunday, a normal timer would need
5x3=15 programming steps. By using the block-
programming feature of the Galax timers, (=setting
the appropriate days on or off for each individual
event), indeed those events will be repeated on all
appropriate days while the free number of
programming steps remains the same as if those
events were programmed only for one day. This
again results in 37 free programming steps for the
Galax timer compared to 25 for a timer without the
block-programming feature.
Manual override
During normal operation, the output relay(s) of the
timer is (are) operated according to the pre-
programmed sequence. However, at all time it is
possible to manually override this operation for
each channel individually.
The different overrides are as follows:
- ON: forces the output-relay of that channel to its
on-state until the next programmed off instruction
for that same channel comes along. At this time,
the timer automatically goes to normal operation
again.
- FIX ON: always forces the output of that channel
to the on-state, independently of any subsequent
programmed off-instruction.
- FIX OFF: always forces the output of that channel
to the off-state.
Summer-winter time change
The summer-winter time change can be done in 3
different ways:
- Automatic (AU): The summer-winter time switch-
over takes place on predefined dates according to
the summer time regulation of the European Union.
These dates, up to the year 2096, are permanently
stored in the timer and cannot be altered.
- Calculated (cHA): The user can select the week of
the year and the day of the week on which the
summer-winter time switch-over has to take place
(for this and all forthcoming years).
- No switchover (no).
