Function
The IC Astro astronomic programmable light sensitive switch is used to start
and stop an electric load (e.g. lighting) according to sunrise and sunset times,
without a brightness detector. Sunrise and sunset times are calculated
automatically by the IC Astro according to the geographic parameters configured
by the user.
Description
The IC Astro is configured according to the place of installation.
n
The place of installation of the IC Astro can be configured:
Either by selecting a country and a town
Or by its geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude)
n
The IC Astro allows:
Addition or deletion of a switch-off/switch-on switching operation (Off-On)
between the sunset and sunrise times
Different programmes each day
Difference in sunset and/or sunrise times, adjustable separately by ± 120 min.
according to local constraints (mountains, buildings, etc.)
Consideration of periods of absence (holidays), remote control of lighting
override by a NO contact
Re-initialisation of programmes
Automatic switching to “summer-winter” time
Permanent display by liquid crystals: hours and minutes, day of the week,
contact output status, and current programme
Manual waiver of the lighting On/Off programme, permanently or temporarily
(up to the next switching operation)
