Configuration
This consists of writing in the memory:
the language
the place of installation, either:
by its position (Argentina, China, etc.) and by the closest town
#
by its geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, time difference with respect
#
to GMT) (a map is provided with the product).
the year, month, day and time.
Once this phase is complete, your IC Astro will calculate the sunrise and sunset
times and propose a default programme (operation from sunset to sunrise),
for example:
DB100048
Paris, 20th June, sunset 10pm and sunrise 6am.

Programming an OFF period
The IC Astro offers the possibility of adding an OFF period (programmed switch-off
and switch-on) inside the programme, between the sunrise and sunset times
(by default it is proposed from 11pm to 5am), for example:
Modifying programming and configuration
The light sensitive switch allows:
creation of a new customised programme with possibility of copying onto the other
days
display of programmes in memory
deletion, modification or addition of an automatic or programmed switching
operation
partial or total deletion of the programme (date, time and language are kept)
modification of time, date, summer/winter time
temporary cancellation of the "ON" periods by configuring start and end dates and
times of absence (holidays)
adjustment of difference in sunset and/or sunrise times by ± 120 minutes
according to local constraints (mountains, buildings, etc.), for example:
Move to ON/OFF override
Briefly press (< 2s) at the same time on the 2 keys (17) on the front face to move
to "ON TEMP" or "OFF TEMP".
Hold down (> 2s) the keys to move to "ON PERM" or "OFF PERM".
The supply of input 5 forces the IC Astro output to the "ON" position.
This override takes priority over the product ON/OFF override function.
