With the SELEKTA 172 top2 24 V the type of low voltage must
correspond to low voltage type of the supply voltage (SELV =
SELV, PELV = PELV, FELV = FELV).
If the switch output is 230 V, the time switch can be operated
using low function voltage but not SELV as supply voltage.
¾
� Lay the control cable separately from the load conductor.

5. Settings and functions
ASTRO menu
In the ASTRO menu, astro times, complete simulation,
offset, astromode and position (locations) can be queried or
changed.
•Astro times
Display of the astro times (including the offset) for the
current day
•Complete simulation
Display of the switching response with a freely selectable
start date (the holiday program is not shown)
•Offset
The offset (correction value) can be used to shift the
calculated astro times by +/– 120 min. This means that
the astro turn-on and turn-off times can be adapted to
local conditions (e.g. mountains, high buildings etc.) or to
personal requirements.
•Astromode
¾
– Evenings on, mornings off: At sunset it switches on, at
sunrise it switches off (example: street lighting)
¾
– Evenings off, mornings on: At sunset it switches off, at
sunrise it switches on (example: terrarium)
¾
– Astro not active: The astro times are ineffective (only
the "fixed switching time" time switch function)
•Location
¾
– Set the location by selecting a town/city or via coor-
dinates (latitude/longitude, time zone). By using the
OBELISK top2 memory card or PC software, up to 10
further towns/cities (= favourites) can be added.

•The devices SELEKTA 171 top2 RC 24 V and SELEKTA 172
top2 24 V feature 3 special programs, which can be used
for calendar-dependent switching.
•Each special program can be activated over one or seve-
ral date areas.
•There are 3 types of date areas:
¾
– Fixed date area:
e.g. starting time on 2015-04-02 at 04:00 p.m
end time on 2015-04-24 at 10:00 a.m.
¾
– Yearly repeating date area:
e.g. Christmas:
starting time on 24-12 at 06:00 p.m every year
end time on 26-12 at 11:00 a.m. every year
¾
– Date area depending on Easter:
e.g. Whit Sunday and Whit Monday:
