Controlling a Street Lighting Network with the Scheduler Application

Creating the Weekend and Holiday Exception Schedules

You can create a schedule that controls the street lighting network on weekends and holidays. This
entails creating an exception group that includes an exception that recurs every weekend and
exceptions for each holiday that occurs on a weekday in which there is no rush hour. After you create
the exception group and weekend and holiday exceptions, you create the following events in the
weekend/holiday exception schedule:

• An OFF event at sunrise that turns the lights off.

• An ON_60 event at sundown that turns the lights on to 60%.

To create the weekend/holidays exception group, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the date that will be the start date for the weekend/holiday exception schedule, point to

Add Exception, and then click New Exception on the shortcut menu.

2. The Edit Exceptions dialog opens. Set the name, range of dates, and recursions for the exception

following these steps:

a. In the Exception Name property, enter a descriptive name for the exception such as

“Weekend/Holiday”. The default name is the selected start date in the following format:
--.

b. Click Standard to expand the dialog to show the Recurrence property. This lets you apply

the exception to every month and every weekend day.
