You may at some point need to adjust the time that certain events occur. To modify an event select the event in question
in the Review Holiday Programs box. The event 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 Review Holiday Programs box.
NOTE: After changing an event it is important to click the NEW EVENT button before making additional changes to the
information in the event selection area. Otherwise you may mistakenly make changes to the event that was previously
selected.
If you need to remove an event that was added by mistake simply select the event in the Review Holiday Programs box.
Then click on the Delete button at the top of the box.
After setting up all holidays and all events that will occur on those holidays, you can move on to setting your daily
schedules.
Creating Daily Schedules
Daily schedules are those events that happen during the
course of a normal week. Events can be set to happen on
specific days, all days, weekdays, or weekends. To set
your daily schedules select the Schedule Tab.
By clicking on the arrow next to the Event Day field all the
days that can have scheduled events will be displayed.
Select the day or group of days you would like to add
events to from the list.
The default setting will be to use astro times if you have
selected the use of astro times in the initial setup of the
timeswitch. By clicking on the arrow beside the astro field
you will be able to select Sunrise or Sunset.
If the event is not an astro event, uncheck the “Use Astro Time” checkbox. 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 Schedules box.
After you have created one or more events, you may wish
to use the Copy Day feature of the timeswitch. This
feature is helpful if you want one day to act exactly as a
previously set day. For example if you were to set several
events to occur on Monday and you wanted to have the
