Using a WR schedule to setback lighting at night

[john.winters2]

We are replacing a MicroZone 2 with a T3-LB to control contactors for lighting. We have a Hand-Off-Auto selector switch tied into the controller.
We can program the “Hand” side to turn all the lights on but having trouble with the “Auto” side. The desire is to use 2 of the WR Schedules when in auto (1 for 2 different sections of the building) but the T3000 help file says : cannot start weekly routines in basic. How is this to be done with a selector switch turned to auto?
Also, could you give an example of a weekly routine turning on & off certain outputs of the T3-LB while in auto. Daytime (all assigned outputs on); Nighttime (all assigned outputs off).

Thank you,
John W

Maurice has written a detailed guide to using schedule, which is very helpful and can be used as a reference.

Simple Schedule Example

The following example is a very simple one to show how to turn a fan on and off according to a schedule. It looks like a lot of steps but there’s explanations and tips along the way, the actual time to do this will be less than a minute once you get up to speed. The first step is to configure the output, click on the controller at Tab1 in the device tree, then click on the outputs at Tab2 to bring up the outputs table grid. At Tab3 we have assigned a short name to output #1, EF101 which is the …

If you want to use schedule to control the output of OUTPUT, you need to set it to AUTO on the SCHEDULE page.

Then in PROGRAM, you can associate the schedule and the output port in the following way, such as the following statement, SCH1 is the first line in the interface, OUT1 is the first OUTPUT port, so that you can switch the OUTPUT according to the task of the time period in SHC1.

If the schedule is true (on) then start the fan otherwise stop it.

Thank you for the detailed procedure above, very helpful!

In this statement, (copied from the instructions just before “tab 13”) how do you turn on and off the schedule by way of an input from a selector switch? In other words, how do you make the schedule false by way of the selector switch turned to “Hand” or “Off”?

Thank you.

Try this:

10 IF SCHEDULE THEN START LIGHTS ELSE STOP LIGHTS
20 IF NOT SWITCH THEN STOP LIGHTS

Am I to assume that line 20 is referring to an assigned input being true or false?

Thank you again

Correct, SWITCH is your override switch as an input to the T3 controller.
