Time Menu

The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been
set or after a 4-hour power outage. Use the Time menu to select the
time format (12-hour or 24-hour) and to set the clock and date.
NOTE: The date is used to determine the sunset and sunrise times.
5.3 Configuration Menu
(Conf)
Use the Configuration menu to set the following parameters (see
sections 5.3.1 to 5.3.4).
5.3.1 Backlight mode (SCRN)
The screen is lit at high intensity for 8 seconds when you press any
button. The rest of the time, depending on the backlight mode
selected, the screen behaves as follows:
Scrn Off: The screen is not lit.
Scrn On HI: The screen is lit at high intensity.
Scrn On LO: The screen is lit at low intensity (default mode).
5.3.2 Automatic Daylight Savings Time Changeover (DLS)
When automatic daylight savings time changeover is on (DLS On), the
PLS550A/PLS551A changes to daylight savings time (summer time)
at 2:00 am on the second Sunday of March and changes back to
normal time (winter time) at 2:00 am on the first Sunday of November.
This function is enabled (DLS On) by default.
5.3.3 Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (LAT and LONG)
The coordinates are used to turn the lights on at sunset and off at sun-
rise. The latitude is set to +45 and longitude to -75 by default. These
settings provide approximate sunset and sunrise times for most North
American cities. To obtain your city's coordinates (or those of a nearby
city), see the coordinates table. You can also obtain this information at
www.geonames.org or with a Global Positioning System (GPS)
device. The accuracy of the sunset and sunrise times depends on the
accuracy of the coordinates you enter for your city.
NOTE: Enter a negative value for a south latitude or a west longitude.
5.3.4 Correction Factor (ADJ)
If your city's time zone is based on political or economic boundaries
instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch on or off too early or
too late with respect to sunrise and sunset. In this case, apply a
correction factor (+1 or -1 hour; refer to addendum). Otherwise, leave
it at 0 (default value).
5.4 Program Menu
(Prog)
Use the Program menu to set the programs; i.e. the times you want
the lights to turn On or Off when the switch is in Automatic mode. To
set a program, proceed as follows:

Select a program number (see section 5.4.1)

Set the day(s) of the program (see section 5.4.2)

Set the program start time (see section 5.4.3)
5.4.1 Selecting a program number
You can set up to 21 "On" programs
("P01 On" to "P21 On") and 21 "Off"
programs ("P01 Off" to "P21 Off").
Select an "On" program to set when to
turn the lights on. Select an "Off"
program to set when to turn the lights
off.
5.4.2 Setting the day(s) of the program
After selecting a program, set the day(s) of the program. You can
select a specific day, all 7 days or "none". Choose "none" for any
unused program.
5.4.3 Setting the program start time
After setting the day(s) of the program, set its start time. You can
select either a specific time, the sunset time or the sunrise time:
• To select a specific time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the hour.
(2) Advance to the minutes setting and select the minutes.
PLS550A/PLS551A
• To select sunset or sunrise time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the sunset time or
sunrise time. (When you scroll, the sunset time
sunrise time
(2) To enter an offset (from -70 to +70 minutes in 10-minute
increments) between the sunset or sunrise time and the
program start time, advance to the minutes setting and change
the minutes.
• EXAMPLE: If the sunset time is 6:13 pm and you change the
minutes to display 6:43 pm, you have entered a delay of 30
minutes. If, later in the year, the sunset time is 4:01 pm, the
program will start at 4:31 pm.
• NOTE: When you enter an offset,
when you display the sunset or sunrise time. To remove the
offset, display the sunset or sunrise time and change the minutes
until
5.4.4 Examples
Example 1: The lights turn on at sunset and off at 11:00 pm every day
(default setting).
Program
P01 On
P02 On to
P07 On
Example 2: The lights turn on at sunset and off at sunrise every day.
Program
P01 On
P02 On to
P07 On
Example 3: The lights turn on at 8:00 pm every day and turn off at 10:00
pm every day except on Saturday night when they turn off at 1:00 am.
Program
P01 On All 7 days
P02 On None
P03 On None
P04 On None
P05 On None
P06 On None
P07 On None
For example, if you set "P01 Off" at 10:00 pm for all 7 days and set "P02
Off" to 11:00 pm for Saturday, on Saturday, the lights will turn off at 10:00
pm, not 11:00 pm, since "P01 Off" is set to an earlier time than "P02 Off".
