Time Programs

[slychiu]

32 Time Programs (for Ultra) are available which can be activated at any time of day and for any combination of days of the week and holidays. These Time Programs can be used to control appliances and lights on and off or for arming and disarming the security system.

To Program Time Programs, go to Schedule > Time Programs.





Each Time Program consists of an Activation Time, days of the week when active, and a Response. A Time Program can be specified for any combination of days of the week (Monday to Sunday) as well as Holidays. A Time program is activated if the current day of week is selected and the time matches the programmed time (to the minute).

When this happens, the programmed Response is activated.

For example, in an office, Time Program 1 above is programmed for 11:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday to activate a Response which arms the security system to Away Mode and turns off the lights, air-conditioning and photocopying machine.

The \"Enabled\" box when checked, enables the Time Program. If not checked, the Time Program will be inactive. Time Programs can also be Enabled or Disabled in the Time Program Menu on the keypad. (Program Voice Menu 6)

Holidays in Time Programs and Reminders

24 Holidays can be defined for the year. If a Time Program Day of week is ON for  Holidays, it will be active on any of the defined Holidays. The application for this is when things should happen at a different time from normal days, for example when a shop opens later or closes earlier.

If a Time Program is set for days of week say Monday to Friday but not for Holiday, and a particular day is a Holiday (as defined in the Holidays table), the Time Program will be active on that day. If it is required that the Time Program/ Reminder should not be active on a Holiday then in the Time Program Response, the action code sequence

If  Holiday <> 0 Then
Exit Response

should be used to bypass the Response on holidays

eg


To define Holidays, go to Schedule > Holidays.









For each of the 24 holidays, a Month and Day can be specified. These holiday definitions are used for Time Programs and Reminder Messages.
