INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ASTRO NOVA CITY BT 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, adjustable screen brightness and programming from Smartphone / Tablet.
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 (4 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:
-
