Schedules
Schedules
In regular daily schedules, you must enter the start, stop or run time, and then the controller calculates
the third variable and displays it. Start times don’t need to be entered in chronological order, however,
when a schedule is closed and reopened, start times are displayed in chronological order. This allows you
to easily add a run period at the end of the list. To delete a row, you must click on the row number and
press the delete button. When a row is deleted, the fields are white; the row does not disappear from the
grid. When you edit an empty row, the row number is automatically added and the following row is white.
The maximum number of rows is 99.
Light schedules
A light schedule is also a daily schedule, but it contains more information than a regular daily schedule. In
addition to the start, stop, and run times, you must add intensity, ramp time, peak quantity, peak duration,
peak intensity, and peak ramp.
14 day schedule
A 14 day schedule is an aggregation of 14 daily schedules. 14 day schedules can be assigned to On/Off
lights, augers and time clocks. When editing a 14 day schedule, each of the 14 day drop down lists dis-
plays all available daily schedules to chose from.
