5.1 Nastavení hodin

Press the 'CLOCK' button to enter clock setting mode. Use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' arrows to adjust the hour and minute. Press 'ENTER' to confirm.

5.2 Výběr provozních režimů

Press the 'ZONE1' or 'ZONE2' button repeatedly to cycle through the available operating modes for each respective zone. The illuminated indicator light will show the currently selected mode.

  • Manual On/Off Mode: Lights remain continuously ON or OFF. Select 'ON' or 'OFF' for constant operation.
  • Auto On/Off Mode (Photocell Dusk-to-Dawn): Lights automatically turn ON at dusk and OFF at dawn based on the photocell sensor. Select 'AUTO'.
  • Režim odpočítávání: Lights turn ON at dusk and remain ON for a set duration (2H, 4H, 6H, 8H for Zone 1; 3H, 5H, 7H, 9H for Zone 2). Select the desired hour.
  • Dusk On/Timer Off Mode: Lights turn ON at dusk and turn OFF at a specific programmed time. Select 'DUSK ON TIMER OFF'.
  • Režim časovače: Lights turn ON and OFF at specific programmed times. Select 'TIMER'.
