Astronomical clock with night break PCZ-525.3-PLUS

Astronomical clock with night break from the manufacturer F&F. The product catalog number is PCZ-525.3-PLUS. Single-channel, programmable control clock operating in the astronomical cycle (the moments of switching on and off are related to the position of the sun relative to the horizon) and with a programmable night break. Possibility to connect an external brightness sensor to correct the moment of switching on and off. Set manually or remotely via NFC and mobile application. Load capacity of the executive contact 16 A [AC-1]. External input controlling the clock operation and backlit LCD display. The clock turns on and off the controlled electric circuit at programmed times in the astronomical cycle, i.e. related to the set position of the sun relative to the horizon ( e.g., east – west, dusk & daybreak). A programmable night break allows you to turn off the lighting, e.g. in the middle of the night when it is no longer needed. After connecting an external Sonda Plus brightness sensor, it is possible to correct, in a programmed way, the moment of switching on / off based on actual lighting conditions (e.g. on a cloudy day, the light may turn on earlier). An external button connected to the clock enables temporary interruption of program execution and manual control of the receiver.

• Work in automatic mode in astronomical cycle or in manual mode.
• Possibility of connecting an external brightness sensor  to correct the moment of switching on and off based on real lighting conditions,
• Programming directly in the timer or remotely using the free PCZ Configurator mobile application (Android) using NFC wireless communication,
• Precise calculation of the position of the sun and the appropriate moment of switching on and off thanks to the location set in the clock (86 locations in Poland and 1500 in the world are predefined in the clock, the ability to set the location via the PCZ Configurator application using GPS or Google maps),
• Predefined switch-on and switch-off points:
  • sunrise and sunset,
  • sunset and dawn,
  • fixed switch-on and switch-off times,
• Possibility of independent shifting of the moment of switching on and off in relation to sunset and sunrise,
• Programmable night break,
• Possibility of connecting an external button for temporary interruption work program and manual control of the relay operation (the break will be valid until the next switching resulting from the automatic work cycle),
• Backlit display with the function of programming the brightness and contrast levels,
• Built-in, replaceable battery maintaining the clock settings in the event of a power failure and a battery charge indicator informing about the need to replace it,
• Automatic switching between summer and winter time,
• Relay status memory – in manual mode, the state of the relay will be restored after a power failure and return.

The clock PCZ-525.3 Plus equipped with there is a NFC wireless communication module (short-range communication used, among others, for contactless payments). Thanks to this, having a phone equipped with an NFC communication module and working under the control of the Android system, you can remotely program the clock using the free PCZ Configurator application. The basic capabilities of the PCZ Configurator application include:

• preparing the clock configuration in offline mode (without the need to connect to the clock),
• reading and saving the configuration to the controller,
• quick programming of multiple controllers using the previously prepared configuration ,
• filtering of programs enabling easy determination of program steps performed in a given period,
• reading and saving configuration to a file;
• sharing configuration files via e-mail, Bluetooth, network drives,
• unambiguous identification of the connected clock and the ability to give devices your own names,
• automatic backup of configurations which, in conjunction with the given name of the clock, will allow it is easy to restore the previous configuration,
• setting the time and date based on the clock on the phone.
