Twilight setting (Fig. 6.1)
On actuating the control dial, the sensor is in programming mode.
This means:
– The light connected always goes out.
– The sensor function is deactivated.
The settings may be altered as often as you wish. The last setting will remain stored in
the memory in the event of power failure.
Important: while setting the light sensor, do not cover it or shade it with your own
shadow
Teach mode
The control must be set to
at the level of light at which you want the sensor to
respond to movement from now on. Ambient brightness is calibrated for 10 s. Load is
deactivated during this period.
Dazzle guard:
This product is equipped with an integrated dazzle guard.
Night economy mode setting
The load connected can be switched OFF automatically at night to save even more
electricity. The night economy mode always ends in the early hours of the morning
between approx. 4 and 5 a.m. The economy time can be infinitely adjusted at the
control inside the unit from 0 to approx. 7 hours. The control is divided into two
sections. If the control is set to the left-hand scale side, the load will be switched
OFF between 4 and 5 a.m. after the night economy time elapses. If the control is set
to the right-hand scale side, the load will be switched OFF after the night economy
time elapses and ON again when it gets dark. Wherever possible, avoid setting the
control to the middle position. The electronic system does not have a clock. All times
are computed by the microprocessor on the basis of light levels at twilight. Seasonal
changes in light levels are identified automatically and taken into account.
