4.5.6 Lighting Programming Using the Meter Display
Lighting programming capabilities are accessible with
the meter via Custom Programming->Load Control
->Lighting. Lighting settings editing is done via
on-screen instructions.
• The Summary provides a graphical representation
of the complete lighting configuration
• LVD / LVR can be specified for use when a lighting
program is in operation
• Sunrise and Sunset Threshold settings allow the
adjustment of percentages of the maximum seen
solar array voltage for triggering day and night
events.
• There are four channels, each having two tim-
ers, which can be used independently, or in
combination.
• Events and actions are used as references and
controls. An event is one of eight points in a day
e.g. sunrise or midnight. Each event can be edited
to specify a time offset to trigger an action, which
can be, “Do Nothing”, “Lights On”, or “Lights Off”
• The combination setting of each channel will
specify whether the actions and events of each
timer will function: not at all (no combination); when
both timers’ settings match (AND); for either timers’
settings (OR)
