Aube Technologies TI035 - Programmable Wall Switch Manual

Applications

The TI035 programmable wall switch has been designed to control lightings and motors:

Installation

NOTE: This switch cannot be used if there are not at least 2 white wires joined by a connector inside the electrical box.

1. Cut power at the circuit breaker to avoid electric shock.
2. Remove the existing switch.
3. Install the new switch.
4. Apply power at the circuit breaker.

Power-On

1. Pry the switch door open from the bottom using a small screwdriver.
2. Ensure the ON/OFF selector is set to ON.
3. Reset the switch using a paper clip. 0:00 will flash.

If the display is blank:

• Ensure the ON/OFF selector is properly engaged in the ON position. Push it to the right using a small screwdriver.
• At first power-up after the installation, the screen of the switch may be blank or dim, or become so when you turn the light on.

However, during that time, the switch is fully functional. Wait 2 minutes for the switch's built-in battery to be sufficiently charged and the screen will return to its normal contrast.

Selecting the Operating Mode

The programmable switch has 2 operating modes: manual (MAN) and automatic (AUTO). To change mode, press the switch door for 3 seconds.

Manual Mode

The programmable switch operates as a regular switch. Briefly press the switch door to turn the lights On or Off. The mode (MAN) and state (ON or OFF) are displayed.

Automatic Mode

The programmable switch follows the programmed schedule. The mode (AUTO), state (ON or OFF) and current program number are displayed. To temporarily override (bypass) the programmed schedule, briefly press the switch door. The new state (ON or OFF) will flash to show that this state is temporary. The override remains in effect until you press the switch door again or until the beginning of the next program.

Setting the Clock

NOTE: The switch displays the time in 24-hour format by default or following a reset.

1. To change to 12-hour format (or vice versa), proceed as follows:

• Press one of the control buttons to display the MAN or AUTO.
• Press the MIN and HOUR buttons simultaneously and brieftly (0:00 display = 24hour, 12:00 display = 12-hour ).

2. Set the time using the HOUR and MIN buttons. If you have selected the 12-hour format, ensure that PM appears on the screen when an afternoon time is displayed.
3. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

Daylight Savings Time

To set the switch to daylight saving time (Ad) or standard time (nor):

1. Press the CODE button four times.
2. Press the MIN button to switch between nor (normal time) and Ad (daylight savings).
3. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

Sunset/Sunrise Program

NOTE: By default, once you have programmed the sunset/sunrise parameters, the timer will follow the sunrise/sunset program when placed in Automatic mode. To set your own schedule, see section 8.

Defining the sunset/sunrise parameters

Fill out the following table:

1. LATITUDE & LONGITUDE: Enter the coordinates of your city or the nearest city (see last page). If none of the cities in the table is applicable, this information is usually available on the internet.
   NOTE: Add a minus sign when entering a south latitude coordinate or a west longitude coordinate.
2. DAY #: Enter the day #. (Add the code of the current month to the current date.) For example: For June 24th, the day # = 151 + 24 = 175

3. nor/Ad: If your country has daylight savings time, select the appropriate period.

4. Lc: If your city's time zone is based on political or economic boundaries instead of its coordinates, your lights might switch On/Off too early or too late with respect to sunrise and sunset. Therefore, apply a correction factor (+1 or -1). Otherwise, leave it at 0.

Programming the sunset/sunrise parameters

Once you have defined the sunset/sunrise parameters, proceed as follows:

1. Press the CODE button until the desired parameter appears. The parameters appear in the following order.

2. Press the HOUR or MIN button to modify the value (see table above for the buttons to use).
3. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

Programming the Schedule

The switch can hold up to 2 programs which are repeated every day. When you place the timer in Automatic mode, it will activate the load at the start of each program and deactivate it at the end of the program. You need to set the following parameters:

P1 ON: Start time of program 1

P2 ON: Start time of program 2

P1 OFF: End time of program 1

P2 OFF: End time of program 2

1. Press the PGM button until the desired parameter is displayed.
   If you have entered your city's parameters (see section 7), the parameters P1 ON and P2 OFF show the sunset time and sunrise time for this time of the year. If the timer is used for lighting, when placed in AUTO mode, it will turn the light ON at sunset and will turn it Off at sunrise. For example:
   P1 ON: 20:38 (sunset)
   P2 ON: --:-- (blank)
   P1 OFF: --:-- (blank)
   P2 OFF: 6:10 (sunrise)
2. Press the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the time.
   Example: If you want your lights to turn On at sunset and to turn Off at 10:00 PM, set P1 OFF to 22:00. If you also want your lights to turn back On at 5:00 AM then turn Off at sunrise, set P2 ON to 5:00.
   P1 ON: 20:38 (sunset)
   P2 ON: 5:00 (programmed)
   P1 OFF: 22:00 (programmed)
   P2 OFF: 6:10 (sunrise)

NOTE: P1 OFF and P2 OFF have priority over P1 ON and P2 ON respectively. For example, if sunrise is at 4:58 and P2 ON is set to 5:00, the lights will not turn on. You can replace the sunrise and sunset times by fixed times. Select program P1 ON or P2 OFF and enter the desired time using the HOUR and MIN buttons.

3. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.

Clearing a programmed time

1. Press the PGM button as many times as needed to display the programmed time.
2. Press the CODE button. The time will be erased and -: - - will be displayed. NOTE: For P1 ON and P2 OFF, if you have programmed the city parameters, the programmed time will be replaced by sunset time and sunrise time respectively.
3. Press one of the control buttons or close the switch door to return to normal operation.
