FUNCTION
S
impleWorx products are
designed to provide
simple remote control
for lighting and other
electrical loads without
running any new wiring.
They connect or “link” to
one another by
communicating over the
existing electrical power wires.
One transmitter can be linked to as many receivers
as necessary. Each receiver has the ability to link to
eight transmitters.
The SimpleWorx Digital Astronomical Timer (DAT-4)
will control 4 different channels/groups with sixteen
timer events and each can be set for:
-
a specific time of day
-
a specific day of the week (or every day)
-
sunrise (with 15 minute offsets)
-
sunset (with 15 minute offsets)
Sunrise/sunset calculations are made each day for
your location.
-
Enter your latitude and longitude
(itouchmap.com/latlong.html) in the setup
procedure.
