The DPT-EN3 Hardware is supplied with DPT-C

creation of scheduled events that activates the DPT-Hardware's output
relay.
The Schedule Details option allows you to create up to 120 individual

specific times at which the DPT output should be activated.

STEP 1:
Start by entering an optional name/title for the timer you are
scheduling, followed by selecting the
Pulse Time
– which is
the time (duration in seconds) that the output will be
activated. In a school-bell type scenario, this is the length of
time for which the school-bell will ring. Enter the ON time, in
HOUR:MINUTE e.g. 03:15 will imply 3:15 AM, whereas 15:15
will mean 3:15 PM.
STEP 2:
Once a valid
ON Time
and
Pulse Time
has been
selected, you can add this event to the schedule
grid by using the
Paste Insert
Icon.
You can add this event to several days if required.
STEP 3:
STEPS 1 and 2 can be repeated as many times as necessary
to set up your schedule, up to 120 events per day;
TIPS:
To edit or change an event already added to the schedule
grid, you can double-click on the selected event or select the
Properties
Icon in the Task Bar on the left-hand of the Timer
Schedule Dialog. This allows you to change all details related
to the selected event.
The
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete
Icons on the Task Bar operate
in conventional Microsoft Windows fashion. By vertically
dragging across multiple cells in a specific day, you can
Copy
and
Paste
your multiple selections to any other day, provided
that the target day does not already have a trigger
configured for a similar time. The
Icon allows you to
create a print-out of your timer schedule.
Downloading your Project
As soon as you are satisfied with the configuration of your DPT Project,
you will be able to download the program to your DPT Hardware.
The Compile & Download Dialog
shows the status and download
progress, and will report any
errors, as well as a mismatch
between the Timer and your PC's
Date / Time. If a Date / Time
mismatch of more than one
minute is found, an error
message will notify you, and allow
you to synchronize the DPT
Hardware's Date / Time with the
Date / Time of your PC's BIOS.
