The RT-24 is an astronomic time clock that controls the connected light or fan
either manually or through user programmed times.
Upon installation the user enters the correct longitude/latitude coordinates,
date, and local time. (See SETUP.) This ensures that once the schedules are
programmed, the load turns ON/OFF at the correct local times.

VIEWING SETTINGS
Once the RT-24 has been completely set up, it is possible to see the various
programs without needing to enter the SETUP menu. From the MAIN PAGE press
and hold the ON/OFF button. After 5 seconds the display changes to show the
sunrise and sunset time. Continue to press and hold the ON/OFF button. The
display will cycle through the 8 programs. Once the RT-24 has completed this
cycle, it will continue to cycle through the programs as long as the button is being
pressed.
MANUAL-ON
When the lights are turned ON manually, the word MANUAL appears on the
bottom left corner of the display. The load stays ON until it is manually turned
OFF or until a scheduled program turns the load off. For example, if the load was
scheduled to be turned OFF at a set time, such as 10:00 PM, and it was manually
turned ON before 10:00, then at 10:00 the load automatically turns OFF and the
program number that turned it OFF will replace MANUAL on the display.
