Schedule Setup

To access the SCHEDULE MENU, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > SCHEDULE.

The SCHEDULE MENU screen displays:
From this screen, do the following:
- Set up special days that affect assigned periods.
- Schedule periods for each day of the week and add special days.
- Add schedule names and view assigned periods to specific schedules.

Setting up Special Days

Because special days are exceptions to normal days, no time periods are valid on special days unless the special day is included in a time period. A time period may also be created that is valid only on a special day to create a unique special day time period.

To create a special day, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SPECIAL DAYS.

The SPECIAL DAY SETUP screen displays:

Special Day number 001 (SPD 001) is shown as default.
Set up the Special Day options listed in the Special Day Setup Options.

NOTE: Setup is limited to inputs 1–96.

Special Day Setup Options

Option	Value	Description	Example
Active	Y or N (Yes or No)	This determines whether the given input is actively used in the controller logic. NOTE: Setting to “N” will retain the configuration of the input but simply exclude it from logic and control.
Global	Y or N (Yes or No)	When global special days are defined, they affect all periods. Local special days have a scope limited to the periods in which they are included.
Priority (Pr)	0–2	When two or more special days select the same day, the special day with the highest priority is active, and any special days having a priority lower than the highest are effectively inactive. The highest priority is 2; lowest (normal) is 0. 0 — lowest priority 1 — medium priority 2 — highest priority	Both Special Day 1 and Special Day 2 select the last Friday of each month. However, Special Day 2 has a higher priority; therefore, only periods having included Special Day 2 will be ON on that day. Special Day 1: Repeat Type: every week Day of Week: Friday Priority: 0 (normal) Special Day 2: Repeat Type: every month by day Day of Week: Friday Occurrence: last Priority: 2 (highest)
Repeat	0–12	Repeat types provide various ways of defining the special day sets. The following repeat types are supported: holiday every week every week w/ start and end dates every month by date every month by date w/ start and end dates every month by day every month by day w/ start and end dates every year by date every year by date w/ start and end dates every year by day every year by day w/ start and end dates period (n days)	Examples for each repeat type are given in Special Day Repeat Types. The holiday special day type identifies pre-defined holidays as described in Special Day Holidays.

Naming a Special Day

To assign or change Special Day names, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SPECIAL DAYS > SPECIAL DAY NAME as shown in the following.
Select the SPD (special day) number (001 is displayed) to be named.
Enter the name of the special day (see Entering or Changing a Name ).
To save, press the “<” key and return to the SPECIAL DAY SETUP screen or select a new SPD number (selecting a different special day will save the changes in the previous special day).

Period Setup

The controller has an internal time clock that allows schedules of operation to be created. The controller supports up to 64 schedules. Each schedule supports up to 1024 with only 999 availably from the controller's screen time periods, which are labeled simply as periods. The controller logically “ORs” the periods to determine if a schedule is ON. In other words, a schedule is ON if any of its periods are ON. Two types of days in a schedule can be specified: normal days and special days. Normal days refer to particular days of the week associated with an ON and OFF time. Special days refer to a set of conditions, and are exceptions that have priority over normal days.

NOTE: Normal day schedule periods will not execute on special days unless the special day is included in that period. See Setting up Special Days.

A period represents the selected days applied to a Schedule that turn loads ON and OFF. Inside a Schedule, assign multiple Periods to turn the Schedule ON and OFF at the desired times. To create a period for a schedule, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > PERIODS.

The PERIOD SETUP screen displays:

The PRD line displays the selected period number (001) and name (PRD 1).
Select period (PRD) number (range: 1–999).
The time is displayed as a 24 hour clock.

NOTE: Can be set as a 12 hour or 24 hour clock. See Clock Settings to change the clock format to 12 or 24 hours.
To use SUNRISE or SUNSET as the ON or OFF time, scroll the hours digit until SUNRISE or SUNSET displays, as well as a field for minutes offset (before or after SUNRISE or SUNSET).

To configure an optional offset, enter the number of (+/-) minutes.

NOTE: When using SUNSET as the ON time, a separate period for SUNRISE as the OFF time must be configured because this scenario involves two days.

EXAMPLE: For a schedule to turn parking lot lights (Zone 4) ON at 20 minutes before SUNSET and OFF at 20 minutes after SUNRISE every Monday through Friday (through the night), set up the schedule as follows:
NOTE: When 12:00 AM is chosen as the OFF time, MIDNIGHT displays as a visual reference to mark the end of a one-day period.
If this is a normal day schedule, select one or more days of the week by highlighting each day of the week, and select (+) or de-select (-) the day.

The days assigned to the schedule will be underlined. If any Special Day is selected, "+SPECIAL DAYS" will be underlined.

NOTE: At least one day of the week or a Special Day must be selected for a schedule period to be valid. (For the + SPECIAL DAY(S) and CLEAR screen paths, see Setting up Special Days.)

Clearing Periods

To clear periods, follow these steps:

From the PERIOD SETUP screen, select CLEAR.

The CLEAR PERIOD(S) screen displays:
Enter in the period number to be cleared (displayed above as selected period number 001 with no period name). The “Clear ONLY Period” line will automatically update to the period number selected.
To delete only the period selected, do as follows:

In the “Clear ONLY Period 001” line, select the corresponding screen path symbol (<), and press the Plus key to return to the previous screen.
To delete ALL periods, do as follows:

For the “Clear ALL Periods” line, select the corresponding screen path symbol (<), and press the Plus key to return to the previous screen.

Setting Up Schedules

To set a specific schedule as active or inactive, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SCHEDULES.

The SCHEDULE SETUP screen displays:
The SCH line displays the selected schedule number (001) and name (SCHED 1).
Select the schedule number (range: 1–64) to activate or assign periods to.

Activating a Schedule

Select the schedule number (SCH 001) and the input nametag (SCHED 1) associated with the schedule to be set as Active or Inactive.
Toggle Y for Active or N for Inactive.

This determines whether the given input is actively used in the controller logic.

NOTE: Valid values are "Y" and "N". Note that setting to "N" shall retain the configuration of the schedule but simply exclude it from logic and control.

Naming a Schedule

To assign or change schedule names, follow these steps:

From the MAIN MENU, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SCHEDULES > SCHEDULE NAME as follows:
Select the SCH (schedule) number (001 is displayed) to be named.
Enter the name of the schedule (see Entering or Changing a Name ).
To save, press the “<” key and return to the SCHEDULE SETUP screen, or change the SCH number.

Viewing Periods Assigned to a Schedule

Follow these steps to view the periods assigned to a schedule:

From the MAIN MENU, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SCHEDULES > ASSIGNED PERIODS as follows.
Configure the schedule number (SCH 001) of the schedule that periods are being assigned to.

The current page of displayed period numbers is shown (p01).

NOTE: When the selected schedule is NOT active, only the schedule number, schedule name, and a brief message stating that the schedule is inactive will be shown.

Assigning Periods to a Schedule

Follow these steps to assign periods to a schedule:

From the MAIN MENU screen, select SETUP > SCHEDULE > SCHEDULES.
Select the arrow > to the right of ASSIGNED PERIODS.
The ASSIGN PERIODS screen displays.
Select a schedule number (SCH) to assign periods to (SCH 001 is the default) as shown below.

Use the arrow buttons (< / >) to move the cursor over the SCH number and use the (+ / -) buttons to change the schedule number.
Select a period to assign to the schedule by highlighting it and selecting the green (+) button. When a period is assigned to a schedule, its number will be underlined.
The only period available in this screen to select is 001. There is also only one page of periods for this controller shown. When the period is highlighted, the name of the period will show directly under the schedule number.

NOTE: Periods that are not active will not be shown in the ASSIGN PERIODS screen.
To assign periods to more schedules, change the schedule number and repeat step 4.
To save, press the “<” key to return to the previous screen or select a different SCH number to assign periods to.

Viewing Pages: When viewing more assigned items (circuit breakers, periods, etc.) than will fit on a single screen “Pages are used”. A “page number” (p01) appears on the far right of the screen. Move the cursor over the page number and use the + / - key to view more pages.
