Record Period: Records lighting levels for the selected period, 1 or 2 weeks. When
the period is over, a new recording period begins and the new values overwrite the
old values.
Vary Playback: Adds randomness to the playback. Specifically, the light levels will
be played back at the sampled time plus or minus the recorded interval divided by 2.
Recording Interval: Determines how often the light levels are sampled during the
recording period, and how often they are recalled during playback.
The Vacation Scheduler is only capable of learning light levels, so circuits that have
non-lighting load types such as ceiling fans cannot be learned.
Only those circuits that have been explicitly set to be recorded will be affected. To
mark a circuit to be recorded, go to the Advanced Lighting Properties of the Load
Schedule View and select the Record check box.
The Vacation Scheduler device provides 3 commands that you can assign to events:
Record, Play, or Stop. Under normal operation it should be set to record; when the
resident goes away they will need a button programmed to put the Vacation
Scheduler into Playback mode. Upon returning from vacation they would most likely
put it back into Record mode.
If the user puts the Vacation Scheduler into playback mode before a full 1 or 2-week
period (based on the current record period setting) has been recorded, the Vacation
Scheduler will look for a data file containing the data to play back.
It will look for the following files:
1. The file for the same day in the same week (i.e., if today is Tuesday in the
first week of playback, it looks for the Tuesday data file recorded during
week 1 (when recording for a long time, the weeks simply alternate, so you
record the week 1 data first, then week 2 then week 1 again, etc.).
2. If the file in #1 cannot be found, it will look for any weekday or weekend file
(based on whether the current day is a weekday or a weekend).
3. If the file in #2 cannot be found, it will look for any file before giving up.
To program the Vacation Scheduler device, select a button and event and then select
the Vacation Scheduler from the Global category in the Target list. Then select the
desired command: Record, Play or Stop, or else Unaffected (see page 48).
