What Are "Groups; What Are Special Commands; Installation; Switching On Planotime - Nice Planotime Instructions Et Recommandations Pour L'installation

1.4) What are "groups"?

By "group" we mean a single automation or a set of
automations which are always activated together. For
example, the awning on the south side may constitute a
group, the awnings on the west side could be a second
group while all the living room shutters may constitute a
third group.

1.5) What are special commands?

When an event takes place, PLANOTIME sends a com-
mand to the groups affected by the event. Normally, the
commands provide for the opening or closing of the
automations; however, these commands can also be
associated to special functions:
• Sun ON or Sole OFF
tivates the automatic commands coming from the
weather sensors. This function allows you to choose
whether to command the automations directly (Sun
OFF) or to allow the sensors to do it (Sun ON). The
command (Sun OFF) overrides the Rain and Sun sen-
sors, while the Wind sensor, which has a safety func-
tion, remains active all the time.
• When you are away (holiday)
shifts the time of the event by a few minutes (0 to 75
minutes) with respect to the programmed time, mak-
ing it appear that someone is at home.

2) Installation

This chapter is dedicated to those who must perform
the installation operations and the commissioning of
PLANOTIME.
It contains mainly technical information; however, if you
follow the instructions carefully, there will be no hazards
to people or the automations. As for PLANOTIME, there
is no possibility of damaging it.

2.1) Switching on PLANOTIME

PLANOTIME is powered by a battery that is already
installed but not connected to prevent run down.
To switch on PLANOTIME, just pull off the plastic tab
that projects from the battery compartment.
When PLANOTIME switches on, you will immediately be
asked to set the incorporated timer.

PLANOTIME is capable of controlling up to 6 groups
separately, or multiple combined groups simultaneously
(multiple group).
The set-up of the groups is determined during the mem-
orization of the radio code, as described in chapter 2.3
• Planetary time
: activates or deac- • Timed command
If you think you may need these commands, you can
find additional information in chapter 5.
: it randomly
Note: the information contained in this chapter is based
on the assumption that you already know how to use the
basic functions of PLANOTIME; if necessary, read chap-
ters 3 and 4 as well before proceeding.
: day by day, throughout the year,
it corrects the time of the programmed event based on
the actual time of sunrise and sunset; for example,
during the summer it brings forward the morning
events while delaying the afternoon events.
: it enables the partial opening
or closing of the awning or shutter; it operates by
sending a "Stop" command shortly (1 to 99 seconds)
after the "Up" or "Down" command.
