5. Settings and functions
L In standard setting, an astronomical time switch switches
on during twilight and off during sunrise. Therefore, in
most applications, only one night switch-off (e.g. from
22:00 to 06:00) has to be programmed – and, if needed,
to be copied to all weekdays.
Astronomical time switches can be used for precise switching
of connected consumers based on sunrise and sunset. They
have an additional astro pulse, which can be used for roller
blinds and blinds control.
Furthermore, the astronomical time switched offer a twilight
range in three increments:
•
Sunset (civil twilight)
•
Twilight (nautical twilight)
•
Darkness (astronomical twilight)

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.
•
Astro mode
Evenings on, mornings off: At sunset it switches on, at
–
sunrise it switches off (example: street lighting)
Evenings off, mornings on: At sunset it switches off, at
–
sunrise it switches on (example: terrarium)
Astro not active: The astro times are ineffective (only
–
the "fixed switching time" time switch function)
•
Astro time
3 twilight ranges can be set:
Sunset (civil twilight):
–
Sunset is the moment in which the upper edge of the
sun disappears behind the horizon.
9:40
Twilight (nautical twilight):
–
46
Twilight occurs when the centre of the sun is 6°
below the horizon
Darkness (astronomical twilight):
–
The darkness setting (astronomical twilight is the
correct technical term) occurs when the centre of the
sun is 12° below the horizon and stars are visible.
•
Location
Setting the location by selecting a town/city or via
–
coordinates (latitude/longitude, time zone). By using
the Bluetooth OBELISK top3, up to 10 further towns/
cities (= favourites) can be added.
