If astronomic (dawn - dusk) operations are programmed in the same circuit and
fixed time, they could overlap since astronomic operations move forward and
backward during the year and could lead to incorrect operations.
For example: A shop window lights are to be switched on at nightfall (astronomic
operation) and are to be switched off again at 21:30 (fixed time operation). Since
the astronomic switch-on operation is moved forward during summer, there will be
a time when dusk will fall after 21:30 and the switch-on will occur after the
programmed switch-off time so that no actual switch-off will occur and the lights
will remain on until another switch-off command.
This situation can be resolved by putting the two circuits in series or by
programming another switch-off operation after the time of dusk.
PRIORITY
In a situation in which two operations coincide at the same time, the ASTRO
NOVA CITY will always perform the OFF operation.
DISPLAYING THE PREOGRAMMED OPERATIONS
Press OK to enter the MENU PROGRAM, press OK again and the careen
changes to ENTER PROGRAM and again pressing OK the PROGRAM PROG 01
is entered and all programs from 1 to 22 can be displayed using the and keys.
TIMING DIAGRAM
Pressing "C" twice in normal mode C1 is displayed on the screen, together with its
status and timing diagram for the operations programmed in this circuit, "C2"
should be pressed again to display the C" circuit status.
RESET ZEROING
When the four keys are simultaneously pressed for more than three seconds, the
entire current programming is deleted and the LANGUAGE menu is entered. The
four factory-preset programs are retained in memory.
MODIFYING OR DELETING OPERATIONS
Press OK to enter the MENU ZONE and use the and keys to select MENU
PROGRAM, press OK again and the screen changes to PROGRAM
PROG 01, use the and keys to select the program to be modified or deleted and
confirm with OK, which will display the selected program on the screen, together
with PROG X ENTER confirm with OK it is to be modified than proceed as in
section Programming. If the operation is to be deleted, use the and keys to select
DELETE and confirm with OK.
MANUAL OPERATION
Channel 1 or 2 can be temporarily enabled or disabled from normal mode. Press
for C2 and for C1.
PERMANENT MANUAL OPERATION
The MENU BLOCKED is entered. Confirm with OK and BLOCKED C1 is displayed
on the screen. Use and to select: C1: YES, C1: NO, C2: YES or C2: NO
depending on the channel to be permanently enabled or disabled.
The selected channel permanently remains in the position it is in until its status is
again modified in the same way.
With the operation permanently enabled, it is possible to change its status (from
ON to OFF or vice versa) with the manual operation key (
corresponding to the desired circuit without this disabling the permanent status.
None of the programmed operations are performed in permanent status.
When a circuit is in permanent status, the corresponding symbol is displayed on
screen (
).
The permanent mode is disabled in a similar fashion, select the channel to be
disabled, select NO and confirm with OK.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING (SPECIAL FUNCTIONS) EXTRAS
TIMING CHANGE (SEASON) (PUTTING CLOCKS FORWARDS/BACKWARDS)
Press OK to enter the MENU and use the and keys to select the EXTRAS option.
Confirm with OK and EXTRAS SEASON will appear on the screen, press OK
again and the screen displays SEASON: AUTO and the and keys are used to
select one of the three options. AUTO, STOP and MANUAL and confirm the
selected option with OK.
(If there is one or more programmed operations coinciding with the time change
period, these will be duplicated or are not performed depending on the time
change).
AUTO (the time change is automatically carried out on the last Sundays in March
and October at 02:00 and 03:00 respectively.
This option does not permit changes. When this option is chosen MENU EXTRAS
is displayed.
MANUAL (allows day and time to be chosen for the time change).
When this option is chosen EST WS is displayed, together with the month and
change date from winter to summer, with the date corresponding to the month
flashing and the and keys are used to program the month in which the time
change is to occur. Confirm with OK and the day figure flashes and the day, hour
and minutes are selected in the same manner, confirming with OK. EST SW
(summer – winter)is displayed and the date and time are programmed in the same
fashion.
STOP (no time change is made).
If this option is selected and confirmed with OK, no time change is performed and
MENU EXTRAS is entered.
PROGRAMMING THE FESTIVE PERIOD
In this period, the unit only performs the operations programmed as FESTIVES,
see the PROGRAMMING section.
FIXED TIME OR ASTRONOMIC OPERATION The (
during the FESTIVE period.
This menu only appears on the screen if operations have been programmed in the
PROGRAMMING MENU as FESTIVE.
Only one FESTIVE period can be programmed. The MENU EXTRAS FESTIVE is
entered and the screen displays FESTIVE STOP, which enables the FESTIVE
program to be disabled.
If a holiday program is to be entered, press and and FESTIVE EDIT is displayed,
confirm with OK and the INITIAL is programmed in the following order: month, day,
hour and minutes.
C1) (

Then the holiday period END is programmed is the same way and in the same
order.
HOLIDAYS PROGRAM
No operations are performed in this period and the (
The MENU EXTRAS HOLIDAYS is entered and the screen displays HOLIDAYS
NOT USE , which enables the holidays program to be disabled.
If a holidays program is to be entered, press and and HOLIDAYS EDIT is
displayed, confirm with OK and the INITIAL is programmed in the following order:
month, day, hour and minutes.
Then the vacations period END is programmed is the same way and in the same
order.
WARNING: If an operation is programmed on a FESTIVE, the HOLIDAYS
program cannot be used and is removed from the menu remaining as a
FESTIVE period.
COUNTER
Entering MENU EXTRAS COUNTER display COUNTER C1 and the hours for
which C1 has been enabled (ON position), the and keys are used to display
channel C2 counter. The counters only increase hours when power is switched on.
The counters are reset by entering the corresponding counter and pressing OK,
which will display DELETE C1 or DELETE C2 as required then selecting YES with
the and keys and confirming with OK.
12H - 24H MODES
Enter the 12H – 24H MENU EXTRAS, press OK and select the desired time
display mode with the and keys. Confirm the selection with OK.
