RPLS540A/RPLS541A 2/8
5.2 Time Menu
The time display flashes on the screen when the time has not yet been set or after a
4-hour power outage. Use the Time menu to select the time format (12-hour or 24-
hour) and to set the clock and date.
NOTE: The date is used to determine the sunset and sunrise times.
5.3 Configuration Menu (Conf)
Use the Configuration menu to set the following parameters (see sections 5.3.1 to
5.3.4).
5.3.1 Backlight mode (SCRN)
The screen is lit at high intensity for 8 seconds when you press any button. The rest of
the time, depending on the backlight mode selected, the screen behaves as follows:
Scrn Off: The screen is not lit.
Scrn On HI: The screen is lit at high intensity.
Scrn On LO: The screen is lit at low intensity (default mode).
5.3.2 Automatic Daylight Savings Time Changeover
(DLS)
When automatic daylight savings time changeover is on (DLS On), the RPLS540A/
RPLS541A changes to daylight savings time (summer time) at 2:00 am on the second
Sunday of March and changes back to normal time (winter time) at 2:00 am on the
first Sunday of November. This function is enabled (DLS On) by default.
5.3.3 Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (LAT and
LONG)
The coordinates are used to turn the lights on at sunset and off at sunrise. The latitude
is set to +45 and longitude to -75 by default. These settings provide approximate
sunset and sunrise times for most North American cities. To obtain your city’s
coordinates (or those of a nearby city), see the coordinates table. You can also obtain
this information at www.geonames.org or with a Global Positioning System (GPS)
device. The accuracy of the sunset and sunrise times depends on the accuracy of the
coordinates you enter for your city.
NOTE: Enter a negative value for a south latitude or a west longitude.
5.3.4 Correction Factor (ADJ)
If your city’s time zone is based on political or economic boundaries instead of its
coordinates, your lights might switch on or off too early or too late with respect to
sunrise and sunset. In this case, apply a correction factor (+1 or -1 hour; refer to
addendum). Otherwise, leave it at 0 (default value).
5.4 Program Menu (Prog)
Use the Program menu to set the programs; i.e. the times you want the lights to turn On
or Off when the switch is in Automatic mode. To set a program, proceed as follows:
Select a program number (see section 5.4.1)
Set the day(s) of the program (see section 5.4.2)
Set the program start time (see section 5.4.3)
5.4.1 Selecting a program number
You can set up to 7 “On” programs (“P01 On” to
“P07 On”) and 7 “Off” programs (“P01 Off” to
“P07 Off”). Select an “On” program to set when to
turn the lights on. Select an “Off” program to set
when to turn the lights off.
5.4.2 Setting the day(s) of the
program
After selecting a program, set the day(s) of the program. You can select a specific day,
all 7 days or “none”. Choose “none” for any unused program.
5.4.3 Setting the program start time
After setting the day(s) of the program, set its start time. You can select either a specific
time, the sunset time or the sunrise time:
• To select a specific time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the hour.
(2) Advance to the minutes setting and select the minutes.
• To select sunset or sunrise time:
(1) Advance to the hour setting and select the sunset time or sunrise time. (
When
you scroll, the sunset time
and sunrise time
appear between 11 pm and
12 am
.)
(2) To enter an offset (from -70 to +70 minutes in 10-minute increments)
between the sunset or sunrise time and the program start time, advance to the
minutes setting and change the minutes.
• EXAMPLE: If the sunset time is 6:13 pm and you change the minutes to
display 6:43 pm, you have entered a delay of 30 minutes. If, later in the year,
the sunset time is 4:01 pm, the program will start at 4:31 pm.
• NOTE: When you enter an offset, appears along with or when you
display the sunset or sunrise time. To remove the offset, display the sunset or
sunrise time and change the minutes until disappears.
5.4.4 Examples
Example 1: The lights turn on at sunset and off at 11:00 pm every day (default
setting).
Example 2: The lights turn on at sunset and off at sunrise every day.
Example 3: The lights turn on at 8:00 pm every day and turn off at 10:00 pm every day
except on Saturday night when they turn off at 1:00 am.
Be careful about overlapping!
For example, if you set “P01 Off” at 10:00 pm for all 7 days and set “P02 Off” to 11:00
pm for Saturday, on Saturday, the lights will turn off at 10:00 pm, not 11:00 pm since
“P01 Off” is set to an earlier time than “P02 Off”.
To return the switch to its default settings, simultaneously press both
main and left buttons and hold. The software version will appear for
5 seconds. RST will appear for the next 5 seconds. Release the
buttons when all segments appear on the screen. The switch is now
reset (see default settings in the menu flowchart).
