== | == Programmable Timers == | ||
Programmable timers have been installed to control the club house soffit lights and pool deck post lamps. Provisions have been made to add a timer to the small pavilion lights in the future (wiring to the dual-gang junction box above the upstairs panel, RLP-2). | |||
A Honeywell RPLS740B1008/U has been selected as the standard for this purpose. It features a 7-day solar time table (for automatic dawn/dusk control) and compatibility with LED and CFL bulbs. It is rated for: | |||
* 1800 W (15 A) for resistive loads and non-tungsten lights (flourescent, CFL and LED) | |||
* 1440 W (12 A) for tungsten loads (incandescent/halogen) | |||
* 3/4 for motors/fans | |||
=== Configuration === | |||
The timer is configured as follows: | |||
* Latitude of +42° (north) and -83° (west) for Detroit/Livonia, MI | |||
* A correction factor ("ADJ") of -1 (per the table in the manual) | |||
* A single program (P01) with a turn-on at dusk, and a scheduled turn-off: | |||
** Midnight for the pool deck post lamps (for post-closing clean-up) | |||
** 2 am for the soffit lights (for aesthetics/security) | |||
=== Power Failure === | |||
After a 4-hour power outage (per the manual - may be less, however), the time must be reset on the timers. | |||
# Press and hold the large button for 3 seconds to enter the setup menus. | |||
# Press the right small button to select "Time". Press the large button to select. | |||
# Press the large button to select 12-hour mode. | |||
# Press the left and right small buttons to set the hour, then the large button to save. Do the same for the minute, year, month and day. | |||
# The rest of the configuration should remain set. Press the large button to return to normal operation. | |||
