Sicon-8 Technical Manual CircuitWerkes, Inc.
24
91 – System Setup Cont’d
85 – Set the current time
Time is entered in 24-hour military format where the hour is a two-digit number from 00 to 23. After
each step, the Sicon-8 will beep once and will beep 2x at the end of the sequence. The full
sequence, from in the System menu, is 85 (beep) HH (beep) MM (beep) SS (beep) (beep).
Example: To enter 1:30pm you would enter 13, 30, 00. The Sicon-8 confirms the programming by
reading back the programmed numbers in HH:MM:SS format.
86 – Set the current date
The date is entered in the following format: MM:DD:YY. After each step, the Sicon-8 will beep once
and will beep 2x at the end of the sequence. Example: To enter January 25, 2007 from the System
Setup menu, you would enter 86, the Sicon beeps. Enter 01 for the month, then 25 for the day and
07 for the year. The Sicon-8 confirms the programming by reading back the programmed numbers.
87 – Say the current time & date
Speaks the time followed by the date that is currently programmed into the Sicon-8
88 – Programming Time/Date Events & Actions
The Sicon-8 has memories for 128 individual time/date functions that we call “events”. The
clock/calendar can schedule events up to the year 2099. Events can be programmed to cause
relays to operate. Simple sequences of relays and pauses can also be triggered by events. We call
these functions “actions”.
There are four main event modes that can be used:
1. One-Shot - An event that takes place only once and is never repeated.
2. Repeating – An event that occurs periodically forever such as something that happens every day
at 5pm, or something that happens every hour of every day forever.
3. Specific start & duration – These are events that you program to begin running on a specified
date and time, but that run for a programmed duration. For instance, you might want an event to
occur every day at 7am from March 01 through March 07 of next year, but never again
thereafter.
4. Specific start & duration that happens every year – This is an event that is programmed like
number 3 above except that it re-occurs every year. For instance, you want to automatically
change power at X-o’clock every day during the month of April, and you want to do this every
year, forever.
The most common use of the event scheduler is mode #4, where a station needs to change power
and/or antenna pattern on a specific & re-occurring schedule.
The basic command steps to set up any event is as follows:
Enter system setup: 91
Enter event setup command: 88
Enter 3-digit event number: 001 - 128
Enter setup command:
- Disable event: 0
- Enable event: 1 (You must do steps 2 & 3 before enabling an event. If you try to enable an
event that is not already set up or has expired, your event will be automatically disabled.)
- Set event time: 2 (go to "Setting the event time")
- Set event action: 3 (go to "Setting the action")
