Quick Start-up

Set the time and date before using the switch for the first time.
The switch will turn the lights on at sunset and turn them off at 11:00 pm by default. If these settings are
appropriate for you, you only need to set the time and date (see shaded zone in the menu flowchart sheet).
If the switch’s sunset time does not correspond to the actual sunset time, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4.

(3 sec.)
5.1
Mode Menu
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 switch 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 switch turns the lights on or off according to the set programs (see
Section 5.4). The
icon as well as the current program number are displayed.
5.1.3 Random Mode
In Random mode, the switch 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 switch every day. The
icon appears when the switch is in
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 switch 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 lights will turn off if they are on and vice versa. The new state icon
(On or Off) 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.
