Programming Key ?

When the key is present, ? appears on the screen.

Two types of operation:

A. Permanent Override: Insert the key. After 10 seconds, the program from the key executes without clearing the device's program. The device's program becomes valid again upon key removal.

B. Copy (load) / Save (save): The key allows saving a program from the time switch or copying a program from the key to the time switch.

1. Insert the key and wait 2 seconds.
2. Using menu, select the mode: save (save program from device), load (load program from key), or check program on key.
3. Validate the choice with ok.
4. For save and load, reconfirm with ok.

Possible error messages:

• no prog: The key is empty.
• Error: The key is for a 2-channel switch.

In case of errors, only save is possible. The error message remains, but the device's program executes.

Time and Date Settings

Setting Time and Day

Winter/Summer Time Change ☀️/❄️

The time switch suggests winter/summer time changes. Select the desired change type using + or -, then validate with ok.
