Performance after mains breakdown/return of mains supply

Mains breakdown:

Saving of the current configuration and programming in the non-volatile memory. The device then switches to economy mode. Only the internal clock continues to run to keep the time up-to-date. The use of a buffer memory ensures that the time stays up-to date for up to 24 hours.

Return of mains supply:

The application module executes an initialisation operation1), the basic display is restored.

The saved programming is loaded from the memory. Any operations pending during the power outage will not be executed after return of mains supply. 1) If the buffer memory is full, date and time must be entered sagain.

  • Deviation from dawn time by ± 120 minutes
  • Deviation from dusk time by ± 120 minutes
  • Earliest UP operation time (earliest up time)
    No operation times are executed before the earliest UP time, as defined by dawn. The shutter moves UP at the time set here.
    Astro operation times after the set time are executed normally.
    Example:Set time earliest up time| Sunrise| Executed operation time
    ---|---|---
    06:15| 07:32| 07:32
    05:23| 06:15
  • Latest DOWN operation time (latest down time) No operation times are executed after the latest DOWN operation time, as defined by dusk.
    The shutter moves DOWN at the time set here.
    Astro operation times before the set time are executed normally.
