ZONE. Allows the selection of the country where it is installed and either the closest city from
a given list or a fixed latitude/longitude coordinate. The astronomical switch will calculate the
sunrise and sunset time every day of the year based on the geographic position and date.
▪ Astronomical correction: Once the city is selected, the SUNRISE and SUNSET time
can be corrected to adapt it to the different topographical conditions (for example: fences,
shadows cast by buildings...). To do this, we can set forward or back the SUNRISE or
SUNSET time up to 9h59min, seeing the corrected time on screen as it is being
programmed.

PROGRAMS. Is the menu where the different manoeuvres are programmed. There are 40
memory spaces (from PROG_01 to PROG_40).
▪ ENTER: We enter pressing 3. Once we have accessed, we are informed about the
program we are in P-01 ---- to P-40, we have the following options:
- EDIT (if it is already programmed) "P01: EDIT" is shown on screen, validating with 3
appears on screen.
- TYPE: With keys ▼ and ▲we choose the type of action: ON, OFF. We validate with 3.
- CHANNEL. We choose the channels to be programmed, C1 and/or C2.
- MANOEUVRE. We choose the type of manoeuvre:
▪ FIXED: Performs the manoeuvre at a fixed selected time.
▪ SUNSET: Performs the sunset manoeuvre. The sunset time can be corrected.
▪ SUNRISE: Performs the sunrise manoeuvre. The sunrise time can be corrected.
▪ REDUC. START: Performs the manoeuvre at a fixed selected time with priority over
the sunset time.
▪ REDUC. END: Performs the manoeuvre at a fixed selected time as long as it is
before sunrise, since the sunrise time has priority.
Next, we choose the manoeuvre's hour, minute and combination of days of the
week.
HOLIDAY PERIODS program
If when validating the last day of the week with the 3 key we keep it pressed we select
this manoeuvre as holiday, the word HOLIDAYS appears on screen and with keys ▼
and ▲we select one of the 4 holiday periods.
- DELETE. When validating with 3 the selected program is deleted. Since all programs
are stored in a consecutive order, deleting a program may mean changing each
program's assigned number.
▪ DELETE. Allows the deletion of all the manoeuvres of the 40 programs in only one step.
We choose to perform program of switched on at sunset
It already comes with ON at Sunset factory programming.

BATTERY CHANGE. FIG. 3
The device has a power-reserve of 4 years, by means of a replaceable CR2032 lithium
battery. Battery replacement is made by removing the battery holder placed on the front
of the device through a flat-head screwdriver. Observe the battery polarity as marked on
the battery holder.
When the battery is dead and the device is powered the battery symbol appears on
screen.
NOTE: When changing the battery the device's programming is not lost, and neither is
the current time.
