ASTRO menu
In the ASTRO menu, astro times, total simulation, offset, astro
mode and position (locations) can be queried or changed.
•
Astro times
Display of the astro times (including the offset) for the
current day
•
Total simulation
Display of the switching response with a freely selectable
start date (the holiday program is not shown)
•
Offset
The offset (correction value) can be used to shift the
calculated astro times by +/– 120 min. This means that
the astro turn-on and turn-off times can be adapted to
local conditions (e.g. mountains, high buildings etc.) or to
personal requirements.
