AI controller timer dashes ?

Question:

Hi all

 

THE DASHES "-----" IN THE TIMERS MEAN THAT SPECIFIC LED IS TURNED OFF, RIGHT?

regards Bert



Answer:

Hi Bert

NO. This is 100% INCORRECT! What this means is that the intensity setting will remain constant throughout the rest of the timers, unless changed. For example, you want TIMER 1 to have all 3 LED's (W/B/RB) set to turn on at 9AM at 40% intensity, with a 15 minute ramp period. This is what your controller should read: (Sol Blue Model...sol white would only have white and blue).

TIMER 1: White 40% Blue 40% Royal Blue 40%

RAMP PERIOD: 15 min

LUNAR CYCLE: OFF

For the next timer you want to come on at 10 AM. You want the White to turn off and the Blue and Royal Blue both at 60%, with a 5 minute ramp period. Timer should read the following:

TIMER 2: White 0% * Blue 60% Royal Blue 60%

RAMP PERIOD: 5 min

LUNAR CYCLE: OFF

*Note that if you would have put White to ---, the setting would not have changed from its previous 40% setting in timer 1.
