STEP 5
Time Clock Events
Time clock events enable the system to initiate a scene or start/end afterhours mode at either a specific time of
day or at a time relative to sunrise or sunset. 47 schedules are available—one for every day of the week, and 40
holiday schedules. There can be a total of up to 500 events and no more than 25 on any day / holiday. Holiday
schedules always override the weekly schedule.
The options for time clock events are:
•
Scene
or
Custom Scene
- The assigned circuits go to the programmed scene/custom scene settings.
•
Enable or Disable Controls
- Enable or disable the function of control stations.
•
Afterhours Start
- Starts an energy saving mode that is used to turn lights off at the end of normal hours until
the beginning of the next day. First, a scene or pattern of circuit levels is recalled for the space (
Afterhours
Start
). Circuits programmed to turn off flash to warn any occupants that they are about to go out (number of
flashes specified by
Flash Count
). Lights remain on to allow the occupant a chance to press a button to keep
lights on (length of time is programmed as
Off Delay
). Finally, if a button has not been pressed, lights turn off
automatically at the end of the delay period.
If a button is pressed, occupancy sensor tripped, or another timeclock event occurs while the system is in
Afterhours
mode or in
Off Delay,
lights turn on and remain on for the programmed number of minutes, (
Warn
Time
) then flash (number specified by
Flash Count
) and then turn off after the
Off Delay
.
•
Afterhours End
- When afterhours ends, the circuits are returned to their programmed state.
Example Scenario for Afterhours:
A. Afterhours start event—afterhours scene is recalled. The circuits that are going to turn off start to flash and off
delay starts counting down.
B. System enters afterhours.
C. Button is pressed to turn lights on.
D. Lights flash notifying they will be turning off soon.
E. Button is pressed to keep lights on.
F. Lights flash notifying they will be turning off soon.
G. Lights turn off.
H. Afterhours end event.
