Refer to the programming flowchart.
5.1 Mode Menu
You can use the Mode menu to select one of the three modes of operation (see sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.3).

5.1.1 Manual Mode

In Manual mode, the TI071 operates like a regular switch. To turn the lights on or off, briefly
press the main button. The icon appears when the switch is in Manual mode.

5.1.2 Automatic Mode

In Automatic mode, the TI071 turns the lights on or off according to the set programs (see
2.
Section 5.4). The icon as well as the current program number are displayed.
5.1.3 Random Mode
In Random mode, the TI071 has no specific times to turn the lights on or off. This mode is
designed to give the impression the house is occupied during your absence. It is similar to
the Automatic mode except there is no fixed program. The programs are automatically set
to different times by the TI071 every day. The
Random mode.
The first "On" program occurs at sunset. Each "On" program lasts between 1 hour and 1
hour and 30 minutes; each "Off" program lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. The last "Off"
program occurs between 10:30 pm and midnight.
5.1.4 Temporary Override
When the TI071 is in Automatic or Random mode, you can press the main button at any time to override the
default state for the current program. The light will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The icon (On or Off)
of the new state flashes to indicate that the state is temporary. The new state is maintained until you press
the main button again or till the next "On" or "Off" program.
5.2

Time Menu

The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been set or after a 4-hour power outage.

5.3

Configuration Menu

Use the Configuration menu to set the following parameters (see sections 5.3.1 to 5.3.4).
5.3.1 Backlight mode (SCRN)
The screen is lit at high intensity for 8 seconds when you press any button. The rest of the time, depending
on the backlight mode selected, the screen behaves as follows:
4.
Scrn Off: The screen is not lit.
Scrn On HI: The screen is lit at high intensity.
Scrn On LO: The screen is lit at low intensity (default mode).
5.3.2 Automatic Daylight Savings Time Changeover (DLS)
When automatic daylight savings time changeover is on (DLS On), the TI071 changes to daylight savings
time (summer time) at 2:00 on the second Sunday of March and changes back to normal time (winter time)
at 2:00 on the first Sunday of November. This function is enabled (DLS On) by default.
5.3.3 Longitude and Latitude Coordinates (LONG and LAT)
The coordinates are used to turn the lights on at sunset and off at sunrise. The longitude is set to -75 and the
latitude to +45 by default. These settings provide approximate sunset and sunrise times for most North
American cities. To obtain your city's coordinates (or those of a nearby city), see the coordinates table. You
can also obtain this information at www.aubetech.com/timer or with a Global Positioning System (GPS)
device. The accuracy of the sunset and sunrise times depends on the accuracy of the coordinates you enter
for your city.
NOTE: Enter a negative value for a south latitude or a west longitude.
