As you select the different models of Next Generation timeswitch, the display will change to show an image of the timeswitch. After selecting the model, you should select whether the timeswitch will use Astronomic Data. This is the built-in feature that allows the timeswitch to calculate Sunrise and Sunset. This is a common feature used with the Next Generation timeswitch.

In the field would be a list of days that had been previously set for you to pick from to copy. In our example you would select Monday and then click the Update button. Now the timeswitch will perform the same series of events on Thursdays that it does for Mondays with one simple function rather than manually entering all the information again.

If a password has been set on the timeswitch, fill in the 6-digit number field. If there is currently no password and you want to establish one, you will have to enter it on the timeswitch manually using the keypad. See the Users Guide for your specific model for details on setting a password. Save this number, it will be required to access the timeswitch in the future. If you decide to not use a password just leave the password as the default “000000”. Next verify the Communication Settings.

The Upload screen is very simple, all you have to do is click the upload button and provided the timeswitch is properly connected and linked to the PC it will upload the complete contents of the timeswitch’s memory into the PC. This program can then be viewed, edited, and reloaded into the timeswitch. After the upload is complete, you will be informed by a message in the Upload Details screen.
