2.15 TIME PROGRAMMER (P.O.)
2.15.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The function of the time programmer is to automate repetitive operations such as sector or output actuation or
deactivation. The time programmer is based on a weekly cycle, i.e. the same commands are repeated week after
week. A table is correlated to a week day (up to 4 different tables can be created), and each table may include up
to 8 different commands.
The electric outputs to be controlled by the time programmer shall have been previously programmed as P.O.
(refer to paragraph
2.8 ProgrammING THE OUTPUTS
). All the electric outputs, both the control unit and the
expansion ones, may be correlated to the time programmer, with no difference.
Commands available
Command function
Actuation of sector nnnnnnnn time hh:mm
Sectors nnnnnnnn will be automatically actuated at hh:mm
Deactivation of sector nnnnnnnn time hh:mm Sectors nnnnnnnn will be automatically deactivated at hh:mm
Actuation of output nn time hh:mm
Output nn will be automatically actuated at hh:mm
Deactivation of output nn time hh:mm
Output nn will be automatically deactivated at hh:mm
Not active
Used to make a table location to be ignored (it is as if it were
empty)
The week days are identified by means of the following abbreviations: Mon = Monday; Tue = Tuesday;
Wed = Wednesday; Thu = Thursday; Fri = Friday; Sat = Saturday; Sun = Sunday.
Warning!
The time programmer will not manage midweek holidays such as Christmas Day, Boxing Day,
New Year’s Day, Twelfth Night (Epiphany), Easter Monday, August 15
th
, etc.). Only one of the four permitted
tables is correlated to each week day.
Time programming will always remain stored in the control unit, yet it can be enabled or disabled without erasing
the set programming, by following the procedures described in paragraphs
NOTE. In the event that
the Installer
code factory-set value is to be resumed, you will just need to select the «Inst. Default ?!» menu item and press
ENTER.
The «Are you sure?» message will appear: confirm by pressing
ENTER.
3.3.4 time programmer
and
3.3.5 time programmer disable
. The time programming status (enabled or disabled) is
displayed on the keyboard by the special P.O. LED.
The command performed by the programmer will remain ON until the opposite command is performed by the
programmer or an user (through the keyboard and the inserter). An example may help you better understand the
operation. Assume that:
•
“Deactivation of sector nnnn 9:00” is the first command of table 1, and “Actuation of sector nnnn 18:30” is the
last command;
•
table 2 is empty;
•
table 1 is used Monday through Friday, and table 2 is used on Saturdays and Sundays.
In this case, during the working days, the antitheft system will be deactivated at the start of the day and is actuated
again when the working time is over. On Saturdays and Sundays, the antitheft system is always ON, as no other
command comes into action.
If, however, you need to get into the protected premises, a user may deactivate the system manually (through the
keyboard or the inserter) even on Saturdays and Sundays. Obviously, the user shall actuate the system again
when he/she leaves the premises; otherwise, the latter will not be protected (the programmer will send commands;
it will not check the system or output status).
Pre-actuation is meant as the 5-minute time period that comes before the automatic actuation of the antitheft
system performed by the time programmer. During this period, the forthcoming actuation of the system will be
signalled by the keyboard buzzers ringing, the P.O. LEDs blinking on the keyboards, and the «Pre-actuation»
message appearing on the displays. The outputs programmed as “Pre-actuation” will be actuated, too. During pre-
actuation, system actuation may be postponed by following the procedure described in paragraph
3.10
PostPONING AUTOMATIC SYSTEM ACTUATION
.
As factory-set configuration, table 1 is correlated to days Monday through Friday, table 2 is correlated to Saturday,
and table 3 is correlated to Sunday. Table 4 is not correlated, and all four tables are programming-free.
Important!
Prior to starting programming, fill in the respective tables your job will be much easier.
Warning! The operation of the Time Programmer is subject to enabling the same - see § 3.3.4.
