Overview

The nLight® Digital Time Clock (nDTC) is a low voltage capacitive touch screen digital time clock that delivers

smart, simple astronomical and time-based scheduling on-screen programming for small-to-medium projects requiring

minimal footprint and flexibility of configuring. Available as a standalone, or pre-assembled to an ARP panel, the device

communicates with an nLight Wired network and supports up to 127 digital devices in an nLight control zone.

This document covers common configuration and management tasks that arise when setting up and maintaining

the nLight® Digital Time Clock as well as step by step instructions for accomplishing various tasks.

Interoperability

The nDTC operates uniquely as a scheduling device for stand-alone lighting control zone applications.

Figure 1 - Gateway detection message

nLight Gateway and Fresco

When connected to a network device, i.e. ECLYPSE control or FRESCO, the nDTC relinquishes all scheduling

functions and displays a message per Figure 1.

SensorView

When connected to SensorView via an nComm kit, users can view and edit device level settings, device health, as

well as update nDTC firmware. Users cannot create, review or modify the nDTC and its schedules through SensorView.

nIO BT and nConfig

Though the nConfig mobile app can be connected to the nLight network through a nIO BT to allow users the ability

to view and program all devices in the network, the nDTC is however not discoverable.

Schedules

Schedules in the nDTC operate using the event-based scheduling paradigm, where each schedule has Start and an

End Trigger. These events are time-based that can run by time of the day as well as astronomical time (sunrise/sunset).

All schedules are required to have a Start Trigger, with a start time and action. End Triggers are not required to be

entered, however, will automatically be interpreted as an End Trigger with an end time of 11:59 PM with a “Do Nothing”

action. When devices are controlled by an event, it holds the events state unless it is overridden by another event or a

manual action by a user.

The nDTC supports up to 32 schedules, and maintains two types of schedules, Normal and Holiday.

Normal Schedules

Normal Schedules are standard schedules set to run based on a 7-day (Mon-Sun) week cycle. These schedules can

only be scheduled to recur on a weekly basis and run during the active start and end date range.

Holiday Schedules

Holiday Schedules are event-based schedules created to run during defined holiday periods (i.e. Thanksgiving Day,

Independence Day, …). Unlike Normal Schedules, these schedules can only be scheduled to recur on a yearly basis during

the holiday(s) selected.

The following are the pre-populated holidays available out-of-the-box:

•New Year’s Day

•MLK, Jr. Day

•Presidents’ Day

•Memorial Day

•Independence Day

•Labor Day

•Columbus Day

•Veterans Day

•Thanksgiving Day

•Christmas Day

•Boxing Day

•New Year’s Eve

•Canada Day

•Canadian Thanksgiving

•Victoria Day

•Quebec St. John the Baptist Day

The nDTC enables the use of user-generated holiday to drive periods in which the Holiday Schedules should execute, as

so known as Custom Holiday events. These Custom Holiday Events can run for single days, based on date range, or as a

relative day based on an offset (i.e. the 4th Thursday of November). The nDTC allows creation of up 20 Custom Holiday

Events.

Schedule Execution Priority

To minimize the chances of schedule conflicts, the nDTC has an implicit schedule prioritization that is determined

by the schedule type (Normal/Holiday), whether it is a one-time event or recurring event, and whether it is a single day

or date range.

The prioritization of the schedules below displays execution from highest priority to lowest priority. The higher implicit

priority level always takes precedence over schedules with a lower implicit priority level.

•Holiday – single day, single occurrence

oOne-time event, Halloween 2019

•Holiday – date range, single occurrence

oDecember 1 – December 15, 2019

•Holiday – single day, recurring annually

oChristmas, every year

•Holiday – date range, recurring annually

oDecember 1 – December 15, every year

•Normal

oMonday – Friday, recurring weekly

Getting Started

Upon powering the device out of the factory, users are walked through initial configuration screens to set the

location of the device, date, time, and create the administrator PIN. While these settings are set during initial powering,

they are configurable through the settings menu as an administrator.

Initial Configuration

Users are walked through the initial screens set up the current time and location nDTC device. This process is

essential as it allows for proper time-based execution of schedules and events.

The nDTC does not allow for default, or back door, PINs, therefore, when completed with configuring the settings

needed to run schedules, users are walked-through the process of creating the administrator PIN. When initial

configuration is complete, users are redirected to the home dashboard, as a logged-out user, where executed and

upcoming events are listed.

Figure 2 - Initial configuration of location, date and time of the device

Figure 3 - Initial Admin PIN creation process

Logging in as Administrator

The nDTC only maintains one user level – the Administrator. Logging in is available through tapping the PIN entry

button at the footer of the home dashboard.

NOTE: The administrator PIN is what was PIN initially created through the initial configuration.

Figure 4 - Logging in as administrator

After successful login, users should be able to notice the extended navigation options available on the footer and the

hamburger menu on the top left of the screen.

Logging out of Administrator

Administrators can log out of the unit by tapping on the “Log out” button in the hamburger menu (See Figure 5).

Figure 5- Log out of Administrator mode

Administrators are also logged out when the unit times out the screen shuts off due to inactivity.

Dashboard Screens

With its ability to create, display, and modify schedules, as well as control lighting, the nDTC is equipped with four

(4) primary dashboards.

Home Dashboard

Suspend/Resume Dashboard

The Home Dashboard displays all the events that are toby

executed within the day.

The Suspend/Resume Dashboard allows users the ability

to suspend an individual schedule, or multiple schedules,

for a set period or indefinitely.

Schedule Configuration Dashboard

Light Control Dashboard

The Schedule Configuration Dashboard is the primary

screen for creation and configuration of schedules.

Through this screen, administrations can program Normal

as well as Holiday schedules

The Light Control Dashboard allows administrators the

ability control lights directly from this screen.

Manipulating the control elements from this screen will

impact devices all channels.

Home Dashboard

The Home Dashboard enables the ability to view the start and End Triggers of schedules configured to run in the

current date. Events that have already executed are in the section above the time placer, events to be run are located

under. As time passes and events are executed, they will transition from the bottom section to the top section.

Home Dashboard Screen Description

The Home Dashboard enables the ability to view the start and End

Triggers of schedules configured to run in the current date. Events that

have already executed are in the section above the time placer, events to

be run are located under. As time passes and events are executed, they

will transition from the bottom section to the top section.

1. Prior events section – Section designated to hold the list of

events that have already run today.

2. Upcoming events section – Section designated for events that

are still to run today.

3. Hamburger Menu – Activates the sidebar menu to expose more

configuration functions.

4. Calendar button – Directs users to the calendar view, where they

can preview events/schedules to be run in other dates.

5. Dashboard navigation bar – Enables transition between different

dashboards.
