MODEL V6A FM For USA/Canada/Mexico 105-125V 60Hz MODEL V6W FM For Europe, Asia & Others 205-240V 50Hz 2 Thank you for purchasing the Sunflex24Touch Daylight Controller. The most flexible and innovative timer & dimmer controller on the market today. An enhanced version of the original Sunflex24Plus Controller, with an optional Fm Radio & MP3 Player capability for song training. The Sunflex24Touch now features 4 different operating languages: ENGLISH, ITALIAN, SPANISH and GERMAN. This feature will allow its use to many more “worldwide” breeders. The menus are intuitive and all necessary explanations of its features, values and settings are displayed on the selected screens. The Sunflex24Touch now features a DUAL TIMER capability. This optional selection, will allow the controller to turn OFF (Simulated Sunset) and at a later time turn ON (Simulated Sunrise) the normal day lamps. We now provide flexible, “Fixed Sunrise” or “Fixed Sunset” as well as the Standard Sunrise/Sunset adjustment during “Breed” or “Rest” Modes. The Sunflex24Touch, can be the ideal daylight controller for other animals, reptiles and fish. They can benefit from the precise repeatable sunrise / sunset, simulating a natural wildlife environment. The net results should be a healthier and well rested bird, animal, reptile or fish. Initial Set-Up—PLEASE READ !! Unpack the SunFleX24Touch and mount in a safe, easily accessible location in your room. Away from heating, ventilation or any device capable of generating moisture. If an Optional Temp/Hum Sensor is used “PLUG IT IN FIRST”. Then Plug unit into a 120V 60 Hz grounded outlet for US Versions. Or Suitable 210/240V 50Hz Outlet for European/ World Versions The controller will power up and go through a startup routine. The display will show a series of startup screens and when completed will display the system time, date and other system information. **Should the internal clock power source voltage “SuperCap” be low, the system will force user to set the Local Time Value . For long term reliability a “SuperCap” is now used as opposed to Lithium rechargeable batteries. More expensive but reliability is worth the price.** SINGLE TIMER VIEW DUAL TIMER VIEW 3 PHOTO ABOVE SHOWS SHADED AREAS OF TOUCHSCREEN TO ACCESS SPECIAL FUNCTIONS WHEN HELD FOR A FEW SECONDS.

If DUAL TIMER is selected, the system will execute the next Sunset and Sunrise (Lights OFF then Lights ON), based of the times set for MIDDAY SUNSET and MIDDAY SUNRISE. 2. *BREED* MODE: Used to increase daylight duration to stimulate breed- ing. Daily changes to Sunrise & Sunset times are adjusted based on user entered values. Starting Minimum daylight hours (8-12hrs?), Ending Maxi- mum daylight hours (13-16hrs?), and the Number of Days to reach the maxi- mum daylight hours(14-180days?).Select Yes/No “Fixed Sunrise or Sunset” at this time. 3. *REST* MODE: is exactly the inverse of the Breed Mode. This mode is used after a breeding session to start a rest period of decreased daylight activity (Molt). This mode allows the user to gradually decrease the number of daylight hours in same method as above. But at a different rate of change. 4. “Fixed Sunrise/Sunset Yes/No” This selection applies while in “BREED” or “REST” Mode ONLY. When set to “YES” Sunrise or Sunset Time will be Fixed . Increase or Decrease adjustment of daylight hours will be only at Sunset , or Sunrise for duration of days selected.
