7. Day-phases: select start timing and time-factors for daybreak, day,
dusk and night
The operation display shows at the second line
right next to the actual Light-DEC daytime a letter
for the actual phase of the day.
“M” indicates for daybreak, “T” for day, “A” for dusk and “N” for night.
At the very right will be the time factor indicated. The time factor indicates the
acceleration of time of the indicated day phases. The sense of this factor is that a
model-railway-day does not need to have real 24 hours. Model railway days have
often a duration of 15 to 60 minutes. On model railway exhibition layouts has a
model railway day mostly a duration of 15 minutes i.e. 10 minutes bright and 5
minutes dark. The model railway night is optical impressive but the many
interesting structural layout details can be only captured during the longer bright
phases.
For each of the four day-phases can be the time factor individually at the range
from 1 to 600 and at the steps of 1, 3, 6, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600
adjusted. The time factor 1 stays for one model railway day of 24 hours i.e.1440
minutes. One model railway hour is therefore actually 60 minutes long. By a
selected time factor of 40 will be one model railway hour = 60 minutes / 40 = 1,5
minutes long.
Via the menu option Day phases can be the start time and the time factors of the
four day-phases individually adjusted.
At the Technical Manual you can see the table “Start-times and Time-factors at the
Menus Start-adjustments and Day-phases” with the ex-factory predefined values.
You will have as well the possibility to document your own values at the table.
If you want to change the start times and the time factors of the day phases
depress at first the key RIGHT longer than three seconds. The display will change
into the Main Menu and all light sources will be switched off.
Depress within the Main Menu the key BELOW
shortly several times until the menu-step Day
phases will be shown:
