Before using Time Manager ensure that the controller Date and Time are set correctly.
Set Time & Date
This function sets the controller time and date.
Set Time Period
(120 Periods & Exclusions in total)
Use this function to set up new Time Periods following these steps.
❶
Select Period Number
:
Select the number of the new period to be created, from 1 to 120.
If a period is already used, the option to OVERWRITE is shown. If the period is not currently in use,
the option to CREATE is shown.
❷
Type of Period
:
Weekly
:
This will happen every week on the days set. (Any day, or combination of days, can be selected).
Monthly
:
This will happen every month on the days set.
The days are set from 1 to 31 and ‘Last Day’. If 29; 30
or 31 is set, the controller will notify you that the event will not happen every month.
Example, if 30
is set, the event will occur every month on the 30th, except February when the event will not occur
at all. However, if ‘Last day’ is set then the event will occur every month on the last day.
Annually
:
This will happen every year on the date set. If the date set is 29 February the controller will notify
you that the event will not happen every year.
Once Off:
This will happen once on the date set.
Having selected the ‘Type of Period’, the controller will ask you to select, where appropriate, the
year, month and day.
When multiple periods overlap, the order of priority is ‘Once Off’ taking precedence, then ‘Annually’,
‘Monthly’ and finally ‘Weekly’.
❸
Set Start and Stop Day, Time and Date
Each period requires Start and Stop inputs. Depending on the Type of Period, this function will
request days of the week, hours, minutes, months and dates in the month. Times are based on a 24
hour format. Time periods may extend beyond 24 hours e.g. a period might start at 20h00 on a Fri-
day and stop on 04h00 on Monday morning.
❹
Activate or Disable
Activate or Disable a Function, Input, Output, Group or Group Function.
Example of Disable: Disabling the trigger input during a time period.
Example of Activate: Activating the light output during a time period.
❺
Finally, select what it is to be Activated or Disabled. If the Group Function is selected, the controller
will prompt for the Group number and then the Group function. Only functions in that group are
available for selection. (See Edit Group in the remote section.)
Set Exclusions
(120 Periods & Exclusions in total)
Setting an Exclusion Period prevents Time Manager form Activating or Disabling any Functions, Inputs,
Outputs, Groups and Group Functions in that period of time.
Example, a Time Period may be required to activate an output every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but
not if one of the days falls on the last day of the month. By setting an Exclusion for the last day of the
month for that output, the desired functionality is achieved.
Setting an Exclusion is the same as setting a Time Period.
Clear Times
This function allows for individual time periods and exclusions to be cleared. Only time periods and exclu-
sions that have been set up previously can be cleared by this function.
