  2. Sunrise today
  3. Sunset today
  4. End date photo
  5. Sunrise end
  6. Sunset end

Start date pho​

The initial date is taken from the current date of the control unit.

Before programming Custom2, check that the time and date are correct in the Modify / Date / Time menu.

When you press OK, SOL-7000 stores the current date as the start of the photoperiod.

Sunrise today​

Set the sunrise time of the initial day.

Commands:

  • LEFT increases hours;
  • UP increase minutes;
  • OK confirms.

Sunset today​

Set the sunset time of the starting day.

Commands:

  • LEFT increases hours;
  • UP increase minutes;
  • OK confirms.

End date photo​

Set the arrival date of the photoperiod.

  • DOWN increases day;
  • RIGHT increases the month;
  • MENU increases the year, from 2018 to 2099;
  • OK confirms.

The end date must be later than the start date and at most 363 days after it.

The check is made after the last time, when OK is pressed on Sunset end. If the end date is invalid, the display shows Date error and Press OK. Pressing OK returns to End date photo to correct it.

Sunrise and sunset duration​

After the start and end times, the display asks:

These values regulate the gradualness of the daily transitions.

When to use Custom2​

Use Custom2 when you know:

  • the day of departure;
  • the day of arrival;
  • the initial photoperiod;
  • the final photoperiod.

It is the most convenient program when you want to arrive at a precise date with precise times, without manually calculating the daily variation.

After the end date, SOL-7000 keeps the final times.

Reopening Custom2​

When Custom2 is opened again, the start date always becomes today's date and the program restarts from Sunrise today and Sunset today.

To continue a program already running, enter in Sunrise today and Sunset today the times in use today, visible on the main screen (Sunrise / Sunset).

When Custom2 is opened again, the controller retains and proposes the saved end date when it is still valid and in the future. If the stored date is no longer valid or has passed, SOL-7000 proposes the next valid date after the current day. Confirm or change the date before saving the program again.
