VIEWING SETTINGS
Once the RT-200 has been completely set up, it is possible to see the various programs without needing to enter the
SETUP
menu.
From the
MAIN PAGE
press and hold the
ON/OFF
button. After 5 seconds the display changes to show the sunrise and sunset time.
Continue to press and hold the
ON/OFF
button. The display will cycle through the 8 programs. Once the RT-200 has completed this
cycle, it will continue to cycle through the programs as long as the button is being pressed.
MANUAL-ON
When the lights are turned
ON
manually, the word
MANUAL
appears on the bottom left corner of the display (replacing
PROG)
. The
default manual override time of the switch is 2 hours, and can be programmed to a countdown of NONE, 5, 10, 15 minutes or 1-6 hours.
For example, if the countdown timer was scheduled to 2 hours, a load was scheduled to turn OFF at 10:00 PM, and a user turns the
load ON at 10:15 PM, the lights will remain ON until 12:15 AM. If the load was scheduled to turn ON at 6:00 AM and the load is manually
turned OFF at 9:30 AM, the load will remain OFF until 6:00 AM the following day or until manually turned ON.
When the load is ON the light bulb on the lower right corner of the display on the
MAIN PAGE
will have light beams surrounding it.
When the connected load is OFF, the light beams will disappear.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a loss of power to the RT-200, the unit will maintain the correct time, location and settings for 72 hours.
