13 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ASTRO NOVA CITY is a digital time switch of astronomical update designed for the control of any
electrical installation that requires a solar reference, particularly of the sunrise and nightfall time in a
specific location every day of the year. It incorporates the possibility of performing manoeuvres at a
fixed time of the day, as well as switching on and off at sunrise and sunset. In the astronomical
manoeuvres, it is possible to set a correction of up to ± 9 hours 59 minutes to both C1 and C2 channels.
In addition, it has a series of extra functions such as: automatic change to daylight saving / standard
12
time, 4 holiday periods, adjustable screen brightness and programming from Smartphone / Tablet.
Menus can be displayed in several languages and show a timetable on screen with the current day's
schedule.
It has 2 independent and voltage-free switched circuits that allow programming of up to 40 manoeuvres
between channel 1 and/or channel 2.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Installation and mounting of electrical devices must be carried out by an authorised fitter.
TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
The device is internally protected against interference by a security circuit. However, some particularly
strong fields may alter its functioning. Interference can be avoided if the following installation rules are
taken into account:
- The device must not be installed near inductive loads (engines, transformers, contactors, etc.)
- It is advisable to plan a separate supply line (with a network filter where appropriate).
- The inductive loads must be provided with interference suppressors (varistor, RC filter).
If the time switch is used in combination with other devices in an installation, it should be made sure that
the constituted unit does not generate extraneous disturbances.
RESTORE SUPPLY ONCE THE DEVICE IS FULLY INSTALLED.
MOUNTING
Electronic control device of independent mounting in distribution cabinet, with symmetric profile of 35
mm. in accordance with EN 60715 standard (DIN Rail).
CONNECTION
Connect power according to the diagram in FIG. 2.
Phase and Neutral positions must be respected, checking the connections made. A wrong connection
may destroy the device.
START-UP
THE DEVICE MUST BE POWERED to be able to execute the installation control.
The display will light up and the MAIN screen will appear.
When the device is not powered the display remains turned off, keeping all the date and time

the event of being installed without the battery, the device has a security power-reserve of approx. 48
hours.
