the standard intensity must be set separately for each
cycle (see next section).
Minimum Intensity —
This value represents
the light intensity at the end of a cycle. It
ranges from 0 (Off) to 100%. *
This parameters
is accessible if the light cycles are used (i.e., the 24-
hour light programs are disabled above).
Sunrise —
When a cycle starts, the light inten-
