State 2: Daylight: whenever the lighting system is switched on, but the camera
needs some additional light to provide a good picture, and the external light is
bright enough to indicate it is daytime, a supplementary white light is switched
on.
State 3: Night time: whenever the lighting system is switched on, and the external
light is dim enough to indicate it is night time, a supplementary infra red light is
switched on. This is largely invisible to human and bird eyes, so does not disturb
the birds’ natural rhythms. Although the camera continues to give a colour pic-
ture, this form of illumination means that the TV picture looks as if it consists
largely of shades of grey.
The points at which the lighting system switches between different states has
been factory set to correspond to average conditions. However, if your box is in a
particularly open, or shady location, or for some other reason, you can change
this setting as follows:
Daylight / Night Time (State 2 to State 3)
1.
Choose a time when the light level outside is the level at which you want
the system to switch.
2.
Start with the system in the “OFF” state.
3.
Turn it to “CONT”, and then immediately back to “OFF”.
4.
The system should now be in “set” mode and the white light inside the box
should flash on and off 6 times to show it is waiting for you to set the
switching point. If you don’t get 6 flashes, try from step 2 again.
5.
Wait until after the 6 flashes, check that the light level is the level at which
you want it to switch every morning and evening, and then switch back to
“CONT”.
6.
Leave the system in this state for at least 30 seconds.
7.
It will now have saved this setting until you set it again.
8.
You can now switch off or on as normal.
Daylight / High Level (State 1 to State 2)
1.
Choose a time when the light level outside is the level at which you want
the system to switch.
2.
Start with the system in the “OFF” state.
3.
Turn it to “STD”, and then immediately back to “OFF”.
4.
The system should now be in “set” mode and the white light inside the box
should flash on and off 3 times to show it is waiting for you to set the
switching point. If you don’t get 3 flashes, try from step 2 again.
5.
Wait until after the 3 flashes, check that the light level is the level at which
you want it to switch, and then switch back to “STD”.
6.
Leave the system in this state for at least 30 seconds.
7.
It will now have saved this setting until you set it again.
