Press the skip button
to select the desired channel:
pressing the skip button
once selects channel 1. The channel indicator 1 flashes.
pressing the skip button
twice selects channel 2. The channel indicator 2 flashes.
The order of setting the channels is not important. If both channels are in deactivation
mode, 1 and 2 flash simultaneously and will continue to do so until this mode is terminated.

Reactivate both channels by setting the left-hand slide switch to position AUTO.
The timer resumes the automatic program and displays the present status accordingly.
Change a current setting by terminating first and resetting again.
3.2.3 Automatic mode
In the automatic mode, the appliance in which Variotime is installed is being controlled according
to the inputted program. The display shows the present status. During normal program execution,
the left-hand slide switch is in position AUTO and the right-hand slide switch is in position RUN (24
hour program: AUTO).

Setting the switching points
Generally, Variotime can be programmed with 16 switching points per channel (8 ON and 8 OFF)
spread over 24 hours. The switching points are numbered as follows:
•
switching points with uneven numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15) are ON points. They
are indicated by the light bulb symbol
in the display.
•
switching points with even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16) are OFF points. The
light bulb symbol is off.
In order to avoid errors in the program logic, the switching points should always be programmed
in pairs, that is, always an ON point and subsequently the corresponding OFF point.
The 112 switchings per week result from the possibility to assign identical switching points to
several days of the week. Diehl Controls advises to set up a time schedule first as a basis to input
a complex block program for several days. For setting, use the day button with the following
combinations:
•
single days of the week
1 = Monday 2 = Tuesday 3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday 5 = Friday
6 = Saturday 7 = Sunday
•
day block 12345
= daily from Mondays through to Fridays
•
day block 67
= daily on Saturdays and Sundays
