Page 4: Installation
Section 1 Installation Installation The Light Symphony iTimer is a wireless device. This means it receives commands from the remote control and is able to send control ’messages’ to the light- ing control modules in the garden using its antenna only. -
Page 5: Location
The iTimer does not need day-to-day attention, so it can be fitted in a discrete loca- tion. An example is a loft-space, since the roof usually gives a good radio-view of the front and back garden. -

Page 10: Setting Dusk / Dawn Time
Initial Setup Setting Dusk / Dawn Time Although the iTimer calculates the precise dusk and dawn times for your location, you may prefer your lighting to come on slightly before sunset (dusk) or slightly after. Similarly, you may prefer the lights to go off just after sunrise (dawn) or just before. -
Page 11: Introduction
Timer Setup Introduction The iTimer contains 9 powerful and independent timers. Each timer may be config- ured separately to control different aspects of your garden. The timers can be used to control an individual ‘Area’ of your garden or the whole garden together (ALL). - Page 12 Section 3 Timer Setup Setting Timer 1 (to 9) ...continued First decide if this timer should control the lights ‘Everyday’ or only on ‘Weekdays’ or only on TIMER 1: Everyday ‘Weekend’ days. AREA: 1 ON at 00:00 Next set the ‘AREA’ code this timer controls. e.g. OFF at 00:00 Area 1 is the first button on the App or keyfob.

Page 13: Pir Timer
Section 3 Timer Setup PIR Timer The PIR (motion sensor) Timer is a special timer to be used only in conjunction with Light Symphony’s wireless PIRs. When the sensors are configured to use it, this timer will create a ‘window’ when the they are disabled, where only motion outside this window triggers the lighting. -

Page 16: Section 5 – App / Cloud Setup
App / Cloud Setup App / Cloud setup The iTimer also acts as a gateway between the iSymphony App and the lighting con- trollers in your garden. Usually no setup is required, this aspect should be plug & play. Where non-standard network configurations or security the inhibit the plug&play system, the iTimer and... - Page 17 App / Cloud Setup App / Cloud setup (cont..) The App should also be setup free but if the iTimer’s network settings have been manually adjusted then the App may also need configuring to suit. For Apple phones and tablets, the App’s settings are reached from devices settings page. For Android devices it’s from within the App.

Page 23: Signal Repeaters
Switch, PIRs etc. This ensures commands reliably reach all the Lighting Control Modules. The iTimer includes a repeater and is usually the first repeater in the system (repeater #1). Where more repeaters are added, each must be assigned its own unique number (2 to 5). -
Page 24: Section 7 – How It Works
Section 7 How it works How it works Sometimes an understanding of how a system works can greatly assist in learning its abilities. Light Symphony is a radio (wireless) lighting system. The remote control transmits a wire- less signal when a button is pressed, which the outdoor Lighting Control Module receives and in turn switches the lighting circuit. -
Page 25: Section 8 – Trouble Shooting
*NOTE The remote control can be tested by watching the iTimer display while any button is pressed on the remote control. If the remote ‘command’ is received, the iTimer will dis- play a message briefly. With two people, the remote’s ‘range’ can be determined using... -
