If the stop time setting is before 9:00am and the
event starts after 15:00 (3pm), then stop will be
blocked until the next day. So it is possible to get
an event to start at sunset and stop at 2am.
If the stop condition is to be ignored, select
STOP=0 (stop condition is never active.)
NOTE: an event will not start if the stop condition
is active when the start condition becomes active.
In other words, stop has priority over start. (except
for the special rule above).
Step 5
Next, short-pushes bring the EMOD setting and
then the TMOD setting. These settings can be
used to set more conditions, which must be true
for the event to be active.
For example, the EMOD setting could be used
to ensure the light only turns on if the Dingo is in
the Float state (EMOD=1).
If additional conditions are not needed, they
can be set to zero and they will be disregarded
(always active).

*Note ‘External D’ will come from a bus accessory
For settings 0 to 7, the low battery disconnect
(LBD) function will override the EMOD
condition and make EMOD inactive if the load
should be disconnected. This makes it possible to
disable an event if the battery voltage is too low.
Settings 8-15 are the same as 0-7 but without the
LBD overide.

* Note: VEXT depends on the setting of BSET.
If BSET=2, then VEXT is the voltage on the B+
sense terminal. (This voltage is relative to the BAT+
terminal in the negative direction [max 27V]).
If BSET is less than 2, then VEXT is an external
voltage read by a bus accessory.
After setting the TMOD value, a short-push will
move to the associated setting, as for STRT and
STOP.
Step 6
Finally, a short-push displays a screen, which
shows the current state of each of the conditions,
and whether the “event” is currently active.
If the “event” is inactive, then to turn it on all
three conditions (STRT, EMOD and TMOD)
must become active (i.e. show as “1”).
When the “event“ is active, if the STOP condition
takes place or the TMOD or EMOD condition
goes inactive (ie “0“), then the event will turn off.
If the display shows “E ON” then the “event”
is currently active. If it shows “EOFF” then the
“event” is currently not active, but will become
