INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ASTROCLOCK-2 is a digital time switch of astronomical update designed for the control of
any electrical installation that requires a solar reference, particularly of the sunrise and
nightfall time in a specific location every day of the year. It incorporates the possibility of
performing manoeuvres at a fixed time of the day, as well as switching on and off at sunrise
and sunset. In the astronomical manoeuvres, it is possible to set a correction of up to ± 9
hours 59 minutes to both C1 and C2 channels.
In addition, it has a series of extra functions such as: automatic change to daylight saving /
standard time, 4 holiday periods and adjustable screen brightness.
Menus can be displayed in several languages and show a timetable on screen with the
current day’s schedule.
It has 2 independent and voltage-free switched circuits that allow programming of up to 40
manoeuvres between channel 1 and / or channel 2.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Installation and mounting of electrical devices must be carried out by an
authorised fitter.
TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
The device is internally protected against interference by a security circuit. However, some
particularly strong fields may alter its functioning. Interference can be avoided if the following
installation rules are taken into account:
- The device must not be installed near inductive loads (engines, transformers, contactors, etc.)
- It is advisable to plan a separate supply line (with a network filter where appropriate).
- The inductive loads must be provided with interference suppressors (varistor, RC filter).
If the time switch is used in combination with other devices in an installation, it should be
made sure that the constituted unit does not generate extraneous disturbances.
RESTORE SUPPLY ONCE THE DEVICE IS FULLY INSTALLED.
MOUNTING
Electronic control device of independent mounting in distribution cabinet, with symmetric
profile of 35 mm. in accordance with EN 60715 standard (DIN Rail).
CONNECTION
Connect power according to the diagram in
FIG. 2.
Phase and Neutral positions must be respected, checking the connections made. A wrong
connection may destroy the device.
START-UP
THE DEVICE MUST BE POWERED
to be able to execute the installation control.
The display will light up and the MAIN screen will appear.
When the device is not powered the display remains turned off, keeping all the date and time
programming, during the power-reserve period (10 years) thanks to the incorporated lithium
battery. In the event of being installed without the battery, the device has a security power-
reserve of approx. 48 hours.
With no power supply, press the
MENU
button, the display temporarily lights to allow
programming. If no button is pressed after 5 seconds, the display will turn off again.
These devices have four keys for their setting and programming.
The display shows the following information:
▪
Timetable with the day’s manoeuvres (it disappears when it gets to a holiday period). A
timetable for each channel with 24 divisions in which each segment represents 1 hour ON.
▪
The display has a text line that will show the following information alternatively:
-
SUNRISE and SUNSET times for that day with associated symbol:
Sun
= SUNRISE / Moon
= SUNSET
-
Selected city
-
Current date
-
PERMANENT operation
-
Active HOLIDAY period
▪
Complete time.
▪
Manual manoeuvre symbol
. It blinks when a manual switching is activated and if the
switching is PERMANENT the symbol is fixed.
▪
State of C1 / C2 circuits: ON

)
MANUAL OPERATION
Activate or disable, manually reversing the state of the circuits temporarily from the main
screen, by pressing keys ▼ C1 or ▲ C2.
The symbol will appear blinking on screen over the manipulated channel until we press ▼ C1
or ▲ C2 again, returning to the previous state.
PROGRAMMING
Programming is based on menus and submenus through which we can move to program
manoeuvres or adjust the device. The main menu can be accessed from the standby screen
pressing the
3
key. With keys ▼ and ▲ we will move through the different menus and
pressing
3
we will access them. To go back to the previous menu we press the
C
