INTRO
The LinTronic
TimerControl is a computerbased timer, capable of sending out InfraRed or RS232 commands on a specific week, weekday and time.
OBSERVE: InfraRed signals are
transmitted by our TT455-RT-238 Signal Converter. If you
do not have a TT455-RT-238, then you cannot transmit InfraRed signals.
RS232 only requires the computer has one or more RS232/USB
commports.
TimeControl is used in for example shops, exhibitions,
supermarkets, hotels and conference rooms to automatically turn
on/off and/or control lights, curtains, projectors, tv's,
screens, cd/dvd players, etc. etc. It is for example used to easily
setup advertising or educational equipment or ensure that devices are
turned on when the day starts or turned off during
nighttime.
You can control actions
on specific weeks and weekdays and you can block for
actions on a holiday, etc.
You can
for example setup specific actions for monday-friday and saturday-sunday.
You can
build unlimited macros combining InfraRed and RS232 commands, separated
by customized delays.
Run-time control buttons allows
you to quickly control up to 8
macros/actions.
Automatic wake-up after power-failure
ensures a high degree of reliability.
TimerControl is available in our Configurator program -
download.
Below you see the run-time Control
window with big buttons suitable for a
touch-screen.
VALIDATE
You can test and play
with InfraRed and RS232, but your TimerControl must be validated before
the Macros/commands can be executed automatically or by the run-time
control buttons.
Order the TimerControl
feature in our web-shop. When payment is received we are ready to
validate your TimerControl.
Click Validate and
email us the generated ID number.
We will in return send you the
related password, which you insert in the above text field and
click OK.
WEEK, WEEKDAY, TIME
Specifies the time you want to
activate or block a macro/action.
If
you want to block Tuesday in week 17 due to a holiday, then select
"Week 17 - Tuesday - No Action" and Save. No actions will be
executed.
Even if you have another setup controlling all of week 17, Tuesday
will still be blocked.
If you want to block
the entire week 28 due to summer vacation, then select "WEEK 28 -
No Action - No Action" and Save. No actions will be
executed.
