Settings and functions
In standard setting, an astronomical time switch switches on during twilight and off during sunrise. Therefore, in most applications, only one night switch-off (e.g. from 22:00 to 06:00) has to be programmed – and, if needed, to be copied to all weekdays.
Astronomical time switches can be used for precise switching of connected consumers based on sunrise and sunset. They have an additional astro pulse, which can be used for roller blinds and blinds control.
Furthermore, the astronomical time switched offer a twilight range in three increments:
Sunset (civil twilight)
Twilight (nautical twilight)
Darkness (astronomical twilight)
ASTRO menu : In the ASTRO menu, astro times, total simulation, offset, astro mode and position (locations) can be queried or changed.
Astro times : Display of the astro times (including the offset) for the current day
Total simulation : Display of the switching response with a freely selectable start date (the holiday program is not shown)
Offset : The offset (correction value) can be used to shift the calculated astro times by +/– 120 min. This means that the astro turn-on and turn-off times can be adapted to local conditions (e.g. mountains, high buildings etc.) or to personal requirements.
Astro mode
Evenings on, mornings off: At sunset it switches on, at sunrise it switches off (example: street lighting
Evenings off, mornings on: At sunset it switches off, at sunrise it switches on (example: terrarium)
Astro not active: The astro times are ineffective (only the “fixed switching time” time switch function)
Astro time : 3 twilight ranges can be set:
Sunset (civil twilight): Sunset is the moment in which the upper edge of the sun disappears behind the horizon
Twilight (nautical twilight): Twilight is when the centre of the sun is 6° below the horizon
Darkness (astronomical twilight): The darkness setting, technically correct astronomical twilight, is when the centre of the sun is 12° below the horizon. Stars can be seen.
Location
Setting the location by selecting a town/city or via coordinates (latitude/longitude, time zone). By using the Bluetooth OBELISK top3, up to 10 further towns/ cities (= favourites) can be added.

Setting special programs
The devices SELEKTA top3 feature 3 special programs, which can be used for calendar-dependent switching.
Each special program can be activated over one or several date areas.
There are 3 types of date areas:
Fixed date area: e.g. starting time on 2018-04-02 at 16:00 end time on 2018-04-24 at 10:00
Yearly repeating date area: e.g. Christmas:starting time on 24-12 at 18:00 every year end time on 26-12 at 23:00 every year.
Date area depending on Easter: e.g. Whit Sunday and Whit Monday:starting time 49 days after Easter at 00:00 every year end time: 51 days after Easter at 00:00, every year.
The public holiday set is set via app, or OBELISK software.
24:00 is programmed as 00:00 of the following day.
Special program 1
Astro times active
Optional 1x night interruption
Optional 1x daytime switch on
Active in the programmed date areasExample: The standard program switches on stree lighting depending on Astro times. A night interruption is programmed from 23:00 to 04:00. Special program 1 is active within the date area from April 30 12:00 until May 1, 12:00. Since no night interruption is programmed, the street lighting will remain on all night.
Special program 2
Permanent ON
Always on during the programmed date areas Example: The standard program switches on lighting of a neon advertising sign only at night. The specialprogram switches on the neon advertising sign permanently during a promotion week from 2018-04- 17, 9:00 until 2018-04-24, 18:00.
Special program 3

Note : If a function is activated via an external button or switch, EXTERNAL is displayed.
Press MENU, with u select EXT INPUT and follow the indications on the display.
Setting channel lock (only for 1720130+1720330) : There are situations where two channels must not be switched at the same time! The channels can be interlocked in this case.
The channel lock can prevent both channels from switching on at the same time.
This prevents damages at consumers, e.g. forward and backward running of engines.
If one channel is already switched on, the second channel will not switch on until the first channel is switched off and a waiting time of 1 s has passed. If both channels are switched on at the same time, channel 1 has priority.
Channel combination (program change)
The channel combination reduces maintenance for wear to the lamps and also allows energy to be saved.
Astronomical switch-on at sunset
Switch off the second channel at a defined time, to save energy and retain basic lighting.
Changing the channel that is switched off each week/day, to use the consumers evenly.
Switching both channels back on in the morning, switching off astronomically at sunrise.
