Opsætning

1. Udpakning og indledende inspektion

Plug the DT620 timer directly into a standard 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded wall outlet. The timer features two grounded receptacles, allowing control of two separate devices simultaneously.

Upon first use or after a prolonged power outage (beyond battery backup duration), you will need to set the current time and date. Use the selector knob and the [OK] button to navigate and confirm these settings. Ensure the correct AM/PM time is selected.

4. Setting Astronomic Features

The DT620 includes astronomic settings that automatically adjust for local dawn and dusk times. During initial setup, configure your country/state and Daylight Saving Time preferences. This allows the timer to automatically adjust for changing sunrise and sunset times throughout the year.

1. Programming Events

The DT620 supports up to 28 ON/OFF settings (events) per week. Each event can be set to a specific time or an astronomic time (dawn/dusk). You can apply settings to all days, weekdays only, weekends only, or a specific day of the week.

• Press the [PROG] button to enter programming mode.
• Use the selector knob to adjust the day, hour, and minute for each ON or OFF event.
• Press [PROG] to confirm and save each event setting.
• Til review programmed events, press [PROG] repeatedly. Press [OK] to exit review tilstand og vende tilbage til normal drift.

Note: A single timer event either turns a device ON or OFF. A maximum of 28 events means you can program up to 14 ON-OFF pairs per week. Carefully plan complex schedules to avoid conflicts.

2. Driftstilstande

The DT620 offers three operating modes:

• AUTO-tilstand: The timer operates according to your programmed ON/OFF settings. This is the standard mode for automated control.
• RANDom Mode: This mode varies your programmed ON/OFF times by +/- 30 minutes, creating a more random pattern. This can be useful for security purposes to give a "lived-in" appearance when you are away.
• MANual Mode: In this mode, the timer functions as a simple ON/OFF switch, bypassing all programmed settings. Use the ON/OFF button to manually control the connected devices.

To switch between modes, press the [MODE] button.
