FEATURES

TECHNICAL DATA 

DESCRIPTION

● control depending on current time in the 

astronomical cycle,

● night break programme possibility and a 

change of the calculated sunrise / sunset 

time independently for channel 1 and 2, 

● double modular casing with a protective 

cover,

● IN control input,

● LCD with backlight,

● mounting on a TH35 rail.

ZCM-32 digital time programmers are 

used to realize time functions in automa-

tion and control systems. Switching on / 

switching off the device is related to sun-

set and sunrise (official dawn and dusk). 

The  following  information  on  geograph-

ic  coordinates  of  the  clock’s  installation 

place, current date, and time difference 

with regard to the universal time (GMT) 

is  used  to  calculate  the  time  of  sunrise 

and  sunset.  The  system  calculates  the 

so-called official time of sunrise and sun-

set and this is the phase when the upper 

edge  of  the  Sun  touches  the  horizon. 

The  system  is  equipped  with  two  inde-

pendent channels (outputs). The system 

has the function of a programmable night 

break and a possibility to change the cal-

culated sunrise/sunset time in the range 

of  ±120  min  for  each  channel.  The  de-

vice casing construction allows the sys-

tem  to  be  installed  on  a  TH35  rail  and 

additionally  the  casing  can  be  sealed. 

The system structure guarantees battery 

backup of the settings in case of power 

supply failure.

CAUTION:

To protect the programmer’s bat-

tery during storage time, the ZCM-32 

series has a ‘storage mode’ default 

setting with a minimum current con-

The  device  is  designed  for  single-phase 
installation and must be installed in accor-
dance  with  standards  valid  in  a  particular 
country.  The  device  should  be  connected 
according to the details included in this ma-

nual instruction. Installation, connection and control should 
be carried out by a qualified electrician staff, who act in ac-
cordance with the service manual and the device functions. 
In case of casing dismantling, the guarantee is lost and an 
electric shock may occur. Before installation make sure the 
connection cables are not under voltage. Improper transport, 
storage, and use of the device influence its wrong functio-
ning. It is not advisable to install the device in the following 
cases:  if any device part is missing or the device is damaged 
or deformed. In case of improper functioning of the device 

contact the producer.

DESCRIPTION

MAIN MENU

STORAGE MODE

•  • The ZCM-32 programmers have a ‘storage mode’ default setting to protect the battery during storage.

•  • During battery backup operation, the first programmer activation is realised by means of pressing the ( ) button shortly which causes the storage mode is 

changed, next it is required to set the date and time.

•  • During rated voltage operation, the first programmer activation is realised by setting the time and date.

•  • The programmer can be readjusted to the storage mode by means of carrying out a device reset

•  - in order to do it press the ( ) and ( ) buttons simultaneously for a shorter time in the main menu.
