Automation Item 1:
Schedule Assignment
There are 16 Automation Schedules in the VPM4580
which determine the ON time, OFF time and Day
Mask. Each schedule can only control an automation
item in a single 24 hour period (ie. from midnight to
midnight of one day). See section 6, "Automation
Schedules" for information on programming the
schedules. To program an item to follow a particular
schedule, turn ON the option corresponding to the
number of the schedule (eg. turning ON only option
01, programs the automation item to follow only
schedule number 1).
NOTE
: If you need to program an automation item
to be active past midnight, either:
• use multiple schedules to control the item, or
• program the automation item for (01) Follows
Programmable Output Only in section [134] and
use a Date Schedule in the PC4010/PC4020 to
control the automation item. Refer to your
PC4010/PC4020 Installation Manual for more
information.

Automation Item 1:
Mode Assignment
Mode assignment gives users additional control over
automation items programmed for scheduled or event
initiated operation. You can assign any automation
item to one or more of 8 modes.
Users can turn modes on or off using the [*] [5]
command. If one of the modes an item is assigned to
is ON, and the
Follows Schedule /Output only if a
Mode is ON
option (section [133]:[05]) is enabled, the
automation item will only activate at the scheduled
times or when an event occurs. If all of the modes an
item is assigned to are OFF, the item will not activate.
Example 1
: Vacation mode. If the users will be away
for a period of time, they can use [*] [5] to turn on the
Vacation mode. You can assign automation items such
as lights and drapery to the Vacation mode. Program
the schedules and programmable outputs in such a
way that the premises will appear occupied. When the
Vacation mode is on, the lights and drapery will
activate according to the programmed schedules and
programmable output options.
