To combine Astronomic and fixed events, only program one event in each ON/OFF event pair for both Astro and Fixed events. For 

example, a combination Astro and fixed event schedule could be a Sunset ON and a Fixed event off for 10 P.M. It is recommended to 

determine your facility schedules in advance and then program the time switch. If applicable, different combinations can be configured 

for different loads. 
Follow these guidelines to configure a combination Astro and Fixed Event schedule. 

1.  Program the Sunset ON or Sunup OFF events for the applicable loads as instructed in Setting Astro On/Off Events. 

NOTE: After a Sunset or Sunup is configured, be sure to leave the other On or Off event blank. 

2.  Press MODE to scroll to SET FIXED ON/OFF.
3.  Program the Fixed ON or Fixed OFF events for the applicable loads as instructed in Setting Fixed Timed Events.

NOTE: After a Fixed ON or OFF is configured, be sure to leave the other ON or OFF event blank. 

4.  When all the schedules are complete, press MODE to exit the fixed event screen. 

Daily Operation

Perform the Daily Operation procedures as needed, including resetting the controller, deleting an event, and clearing time switch memory. 

Deleting (Clearing) an Event

Astro events and fixed timed events can be deleted from the time switch. If you need to delete an event, follow this procedure.

1.  If necessary, press MODE to scroll through the menus to SET ASTRO or SET FIXED ON/OFF EVENTS screen. 
2.  Press ENTER/NEXT as necessary to scroll through the scheduled events until you see the event you want to delete.
3.  Press + and -  AT THE SAME TIME to display --:-- --. This indicates the event is erased.

 to exit. Go to step 10. 

10.  Press MODE to place the time switch in AUTO (Mode). This enables the time switch to automatically initiate configured         

scheduled events.
NOTE: In AUTO Mode, the time switch follows the user-configured events, and the loads turn ON and OFF at the configured 

time(s). In MANUAL mode, the time switch does not follow user-configured events and only activates loads when an ON/

OFF button is pressed.  Press MODE again to return the controller to MANUAL mode. 
NOTE: In Auto Mode, press an ON/OFF button temporarily overrides the current state of the load. The time switch returns to the 

normal schedule at the next configured event. 

Resetting the Time Switch

To perform a reset, press the reset button.  The following occurs:

•  All display segments activate for one second, then the timer model number appears, followed by the firmware revision.
•  The current operational mode setting appears 
•  Afterwards, the time switch returns to the mode it was in prior to the reset
•  The time of day resets to 12:00 AM and the day of the week flashes.
•  The established normal output current value is deleted
