Here is the complete, clear, and operational procedure for programming a CCT15245 in order to:
- Automatically switch on the lighting at sunset (ASTRO mode)
- Switch off the lighting during the night (Night Interruption)
- Automatically switch it back on in the morning according to the Astro sunrise time
All steps below are based on the ASTRO and PROGRAM sections of the manual.
🌙 1. Basic configuration of ASTRO mode
The ASTRO mode automatically calculates switching ON/OFF times according to sunset and sunrise.
For it to work correctly, the location must be configured.
▶ Step 1 — Go to:
MENU → ASTRO → POSITION
Select COUNTRY then the nearest city
OR
Select COORDINATES and enter Latitude, Longitude, Time zone. See link:
💡 2. Choose the Astro behavior
The CCT15245 allows two strategies:
- EVENING ON / MORNING OFF = ON at sunset, OFF at sunrise
- EVENING OFF / MORNING ON = opposite behavior
For a shop‑front outdoor lighting:
👉 Select: EVENING ON – MORNING OFF
▶ Step 2 — Go to:
MENU → ASTRO → ASTRO MODE → EVENING ON / MORNING OFF
🕘 3. Add a night interruption
The night interruption is programmed in the PROGRAM MENU, even if you use Astro.
It allows the lighting to be switched off at a fixed time during the night, for example:
23:00 → 06:00
This function is described on page 8, where the manual explicitly explains that for a shop window, a NIGHT INTERRUPTION should be set.
🔧 Complete procedure to set the night interruption
▶ Step 3 — Go to:
MENU → PROGRAM → STANDARD → CREATE
(or CREATE directly if it is the 1‑channel model)
- Confirm free memory space
- Select: NIGHT INTERRUPTION
- Set the start time → e.g. 23:00
- Set the minutes
- Choose the day(s) (Monday–Sunday)
- Set “UNTIL TIME” → e.g. 06:00
- Validate with SAVE (or COPY then SAVE for multiple days)
🌓 4. Interaction between ASTRO and NIGHT INTERRUPTION
With this configuration:
- The CCT15245 switches the lighting ON automatically at sunset (Astro)
- At 23:00, PROGRAM applies the NIGHT INTERRUPTION → OFF
- At 06:00, the interruption ends → lighting returns to Astro mode
- In the morning, it will switch off automatically at sunrise
➡ Result:
✔ Automatic switching ON at sunset
✔ Switching OFF during the night
✔ Astro functioning resumes after the interruption
