Next you need to set the starting day and month and ending day and month of the holiday. Click the Update button to add
the holiday to the holiday list. You will see the holiday appear in the Saved Holidays box on the right side of the display.
Up to 99 holidays can be defined to take place during the year.
NOTE: If a holiday period crosses through the end of the year (i.e. New Years break starts on the 28
th
of December and
ends on the 3
nd
of January). You will need to start the holiday on 12/28 and end it on 12/31 and then start a second
holiday on 1/1 and end it on 1/3.
Occasionally you may need to adjust the days that certain holidays fall on. To modify a holiday, either select the holiday
number using the up and down arrows or select the holiday in question in the Saved Holidays box. The holiday
information will be displayed in the fields. Make your changes and click the Update button. The new information will
replace the old information in the Saved Holidays box.
If you need to remove a holiday that was added by mistake, simply select the holiday in the Saved Holidays box. Then
click on the Delete button at the top of the box.
Now that your holidays are established, it is time to set the schedules that will take place during those periods. By clicking
on the arrow next to the Event Day field all the holidays you have defined will be displayed. Select the holiday you would
like to add events to from the list.
You will note that the “Use Default Schedule” checkbox is
checked, this will suspend all events during the holiday
period. If this is your desire, simply click the Update button
at the bottom of the screen. The event will be added to the
Review Holiday Programs box.
On the other hand, if you need a special set of events to
be executed during the holiday period, you just need to
unselect the “Use Default Schedule” checkbox. If the
event will occur at sunrise or sunset, check the “Use Astro
Time” checkbox. By clicking on the arrow beside the astro
field, you will be able to select Sunrise or Sunset.
Otherwise select the time the event will occur at in the
Event Time field. Next you will need to select whether the
event will turn output(s) ON or OFF. Select the Event radio button next to ON or OFF to make this selection.
The Next Generation time switch is capable of three types
of output modes: 1) Transition, 2) Pulse, or 3) Interval.
Transition events simply turn the output ON or OFF and
maintain that state until a second event occurs to change
it. This is the most common type of event. The Pulse
mode pulses the output from 1 to 127 seconds when
activated. Pulses are often used to ring bells or control
lighting contactors. The Interval event can be from 1
minute to 6 days, 23 hours, and 59 minutes and adds the
convenience of creating an event that can be self-
terminating. For example if you would like to turn a light
on at 6:00pm and back off at 8:00pm you can create an
Interval ON event starting at 6:00pm lasting for 2 hours.
The selected loads will turn ON at the beginning of the
Interval and turn back OFF at the end of the Interval without the need for a second event. Finally you will need to select
which output(s) will be affected by the event. Simply check the boxes of the associated outputs to select or de-select
them. When you have finished creating your event click the Update button. The event will be added to the Review
Holiday Programs box.
