1. Setup Install the daytime SC16 app (download and instructions can be found at www.daytime.de).

6 1. Setup Install the daytime SC16 app (download and instructions can be found at All electrical connections and components (except for the power plug) should be connected according to the following examples. Observe any relevant safety instructions! Example with one converter and one daytime cluster control light, with an output of max. 100 watts: SC16 cluster control max. 100 watts Converter Example with one converter, one three-way distributor (optionally available), and three daytime cluster control lights, with a total output of max. 100 watts: cluster control (total max. 100 watts) SC16 Converter Distributor

7 Example with multiple converters, SEM16 performance extension modules three-channel for cluster control (optionally available) and multiple daytime cluster control lights, each with an output of max. 100 watts: Converter SC16 clustser control max. 120 watts Converter SEM16 performance extension module Converter SEM16 performance extension module Data connection cable (supplied with SEM16) Additional SEM16 performance extension modules Plug in the mains power plug or switch on the power supply/supplies. The SC16's status LED illuminates green. The controller is ready for operations. It switches to automatic mode. Note: The factory settings are used to specify the daily routine during the initial start-up. BLUETOOTH pairing between the SC16 and an Android device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) NOTICE: Observe the documentation and user manual for the Android device. Enable BLUETOOTH on the Android device. Start the search (scan) for "available devices". After the device has been found, SC16_XXX will be listed under "Available devices" (XXX signifies the sequential serial number.) Select the device for pairing. The PIN code request will then appear. Enter the PIN number 1234 and confirm with OK. The daytime SC16 light controller will now appear under the list of "Connected devices".

8 2. Connect the controller with the Android device Open the SC16 app and click on "Connect". The list of paired devices will then be shown. Select/click on the corresponding SC16 and confirm the connection. The controller's status LED illuminates in red; this indicates manual mode. The time is automatically synchronized. 3. Manual operations You can use the sliders (WHITE, BLUE, RED) to adjust the brightness or the intensity for each light colour separately. Info: If the cluster control modules are being used without the red LED, then the RED slider will have no function or influence. This also applies to the WHITE and BLUE sliders. Click on the Cloud icon to start a random cloud simulation (which will last about 30 seconds). The slider is not enabled during manual operations. Click on the Lightning icon to start a random thunderstorm simulation (which will last from 5 10 seconds). The slider is not enabled during manual operations.

9 4. Programming You can create and save a lighting configuration "scenario" for each time of day. Your saved scenarios are inserted in the "Daily routine" table along with their specific start and end times. The time gap between a scenario's "Time to" and the "Time from" specified for the next scenario define the duration for the change (for sunrise or sunset). The change takes place uniformly (linearly). 4.1 Creating and saving scenarios Use the sliders to adjust the brightness, light colour, clouds and thunderstorm intensity. Then click on "Store scenario". Then specify a name (e.g. Day) and confirm by clicking on OK. Any number of scenarios can be created and saved. The saved scenarios can be opened, changed and re-saved by clicking on the button corresponding to the scenario.

10 4.2 Creating and saving a daily routine Click on "Programming" and then on "Create daily routine".

Then save (not yet send) the completed table by clicking on the "Store daily routine" button. Any number of daily routines can be created and saved.

11 Add your desired scenarios and define the times in the daily routine table by clicking on the associated buttons, as shown in the example below. Once a line is completely filled out, it is displayed with a dark grey background (as shown below, bottom left). Then save (not yet send) the completed table by clicking on the "Store daily routine" button. Any number of daily routines can be created and saved. To transmit a daily routine, click on "Open daily routine". Then select the desired routine and click on "Send daily routine" (the controller must be connected to the Android device for this to work). Note: The table cannot be filled out when no scenarios have been saved. The change of day (midnight / 0:00) must be included in the last scenario (see the illustration below) or within the interval between the end of the last scenario and the start of the first scenario (for example: the last scenario ends at 23:00 and the first scenario starts at 04:30).

12 Explanations A daily routine corresponds to 24 hours and is repeated continuously. Up to 10 scenarios can be inserted into a daily routine. The duration for the continual change (sunrise, sunset, etc.) is derived from the time interval starting at "Time to" of a scenario and ending at the "Time from" for the next scenario. This time interval must be at least one minute! After the last scenario, the routine starts again with scenario 1. The duration for this changeover is determined by the difference between the "Time to" for the last specified scenario and the "Time from" for scenario 1. Click on the Previous buttons to get back to the Start menu and then click on Disconnect. The connection is then terminated. The controller's status LED illuminates green to signal that automatic mode is running according to the specified and transmitted daily routine.

13 5. Demo mode The demo mode is enabled by clicking on the corresponding button on the Start page (the app must be connected to the controller). When demo mode is enabled, the button will display "Demo running". The controller continuously switches, in fast-motion time lapse, between the scenarios specified in the daily routine. (Clouds and lightning are disabled in demo mode) The demo mode remains switched on until you click again on the "Demo mode" button, even if the controller disconnects from the app. If the controller has been disconnected, you will need to reconnect and click twice on the "Demo mode" button to stop demo mode. After you click on "Demo running" to stop demo mode, the active changeover will be completed. In rare cases, the controller must be disconnected from the power supply and then reconnected.
