Astronomic Enable (continued)
CAUTION: Do not schedule an ON or a Photocell (Photo ENB)
event when an Astronomical (Astro ENB) event is scheduled to
operate on a relay output.
The Astro feature can be set up to operate in several different ways as
described below.
SUNSET-to-SUNRISE - To achieve this type of control it is advised
that the Astro Control feature be enabled before sunrise for every
day of the week. An ideal time would be 4:00 AM. Make sure to
have no other schedules operating on the same relay output.
The diagram below shows a typical Astro Sunset-to-Sunrise control
cycle.
Astro Enabled, last action
Sunset, relays turn ON
(probably already ON by Sunset signal)
Cycle repeats itself the
following day
Astronomic Enable (continued)
SUNSET to TIMED OFF, TIMED ON to SUNRISE - To achieve this
type of control, the Astro control is enabled at the time the lights are
to be switched ON, say 4:00 AM. When enabled, the Astro
command will issue an ON signal before sunrise or OFF signal after
sunrise. At sunset, an ON signal is issued. Late at night, a timed
OFF signal occurs to switch OFF the lights. At 4:00 AM, the Astro
enable occurs and the cycle repeats.
The diagram below shows a typical Astro Sunset-to-Timed OFF
control cycle.

SUNSET-to-TIMED OFF - To achieve this type of control, the Astro
Control must be enabled to initiate the Astro feature. The Timed
OFF command is issued to switch the lights OFF at the desired time.
The Timed OFF command also disables the Astro feature. If the
feature is required for the following day, it must be entered for each
day. The best time to enable the Astro feature is sometime during
the day, say 3:00 PM.
The diagram below shows a typical Astro Sunset-to-Timed OFF
control cycle.

No Action will be specified
for the selected time. There
will be no change to the
state of the output relay(s).
Press the D button to
confirm the No Action and
return to the Event

When do you use a NO ACTION function?
The output will not change the state of the output relays when a No
Action command is the scheduled event.
An application for this function would be if a scheduled event is not
required to operate on a particular day. Instead of eliminating the
scheduled event, a No Action event can be substituted for the regularly
scheduled event for that day. The event can be easily modified for
some other type of action later.
