EVENT SYSTEM OPERATION
The RA-121 includes an internal clock and timer sub
system. This subsystem may be used to create events
which activate and switch between preset lighting
scenes based upon times, days, and dates. A total of
128 events may be programmed.
The clock operates without AC power for aprox. 2
weeks and does not require a battery. Event settings
are retained in non volatile memory therefore they
will not be lost if the RA-121 powered off.
An event is used to trigger any one of 100 scenes
which have been previously created and stored in the
RA-121. Any scene may be used by multiple events.
A scene may be set to turn ON, or OFF, or be ignored
by an event.
An event may be set to trigger based on a date of the
year and a time. This enables scene activation for one
time or infrequent occurances such as holidays.
An event may also be set to trigger on a daily or
multiple times per day basis. Additionally specific
days of a week can be designated to be used or
skipped. This is a more common type of operation
where events are triggered on a regular schedule.
EVENT SYSTEM ENABLE
Events programmed in the RA-121 will not trigger
unless the event system is set to ON. If the event
system is OFF you can still set the clock and program
event times and dates but they will never be triggered.
Turning events OFF is used to prevent inadvertent
triggers which may have been forgotten about,
incorrectly set, or otherwise unaccounted for.
