LUMANDAR CHRONO: programmable Twilight Switch

DESCRIPTION

Clock

GPS Antenna

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The LUMANDAR CHRONO Twilight Switch works for Street

Lighting applications as well as for Service Sector
applications.
Two different sensor models are available, each one with a
specific technology: 1/photocell, offering very high quality
optical performances or 2/ photodiode, temperature
compensated, with improved technical features.
This device was designed for energy-efficiency and is part of
sustainable development; we selected low consumption
relays and indicators and optimized the internal operating
processes.
A GPS antenna can be added for the timing synchronization
in case of night cut programming; this optional accessory can
be mounted through walls or further on the provided
bracket.
A selector for twilight thresholds can be found on the front
face and help the user choose typical values.
A second selector defines the operating mode of our clock
as well as upload specific programming. Thanks to it, a Force
Start can also be operated.
The clock has 2 independent output relays, and can for
example control several outgoing lines.
Due to its small size and a Din rail mounting, it can be easily
mounted in any cabinets.
Thanks to its programming software loaded on a Windowstype pc, the programs can be directly transferred via its USB
connector. It is also possible to program a USB key at office
and to load the program in the twilight switch with it.
The typical programming functions are available, that is to
say programming a weekly cut-off and 20 programming
episodes of two annual special cuts. The software offers also
the possibility to display the program (ephemeris,
instructions for the night, instructions for one night,
brightness level measured in Lux).
The access to the programming and to the operating mode
of the device can be made safe by a 4-digit password.
Thanks to a GPS antenna as well as a French/English
software ran on Windows, you can use it worldwide.

Twilight switch for Street Lighting and/or Service Sector

applications.
