4. Pemasangan
The ORNO PRE-450 is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail (TH-35mm). It occupies two DIN modules in width.
Langkah Pemasangan:
- Pemutusan Kuasa: Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is completely disconnected before proceeding.
- Pemasangan: Clip the device onto the DIN rail.
- Pendawaian: Connect the power supply and load according to the wiring diagram provided on the device and below. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Penyambungan Semula Kuasa: Once all connections are verified, restore power to the installation.

Butiran Pendawaian:
- A1/A2: Power supply input (24-264V AC/DC).
- 18, 15, 16: Relay output contacts. 15 is common, 18 is normally open (NO), 16 is normally closed (NC).
5. Persediaan Awal
Setelah bekalan kuasa mula dihidupkan atau selepas bekalan kuasa terputus yang lamatage, you may need to set the basic parameters.
5.1. Pemilihan Bahasa
- Tekan ke MENU butang.
- Navigate to the Language setting using the arrow buttons (▲ / ▼).
- Tekan OK untuk memilih.
- Choose your desired language (e.g., English) and press OK untuk mengesahkan.
5.2. Tetapan Tarikh dan Masa
- From the main menu, navigate to "Time/Date" or similar.
- Use the arrow buttons to adjust the year, month, day, hour, and minute.
- Tekan OK after each adjustment to confirm and move to the next field.
- The device supports automatic summer/winter time switching. Ensure this setting is enabled if desired.
5.3. Astronomical Settings (Geographical Coordinates)
For the astronomical function to work correctly, you must input your geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) and time zone.
- Navigate to the "Astronomical" or "Location" settings in the menu.
- Enter the latitude and longitude of your location. These can be found using online maps or GPS services.
- Set the correct time zone offset (e.g., +1 for Central European Time).
- Confirm settings with OK.
6. Mod Operasi
The ORNO PRE-450 offers several operating modes to suit different needs:
- Mod Automatik: The device operates according to the programmed schedules (weekly, annual, astronomical). This is the standard operating mode.

- Mod Cuti: Suspends all regular programs for a specified period, useful for vacations or extended absences.
- Mod Rawak: Introduces random variations to programmed ON/OFF times, often used for presence simulation.
To switch between modes, access the "Operating Mode" option in the main menu and select the desired mode using the arrow and OK butang.
7. Jadual Pengaturcaraan
The device supports up to 52 switching points across various program types.
7.1. Astronomical Program
This program type uses the calculated sunrise and sunset times. You can set an offset (e.g., turn on 15 minutes before sunset or turn off 30 minutes after sunrise).
- Go to "Programs" in the menu and select "Astronomical".
- Choose to set an ON or OFF event.
- Select "Sunrise" or "Sunset" as the trigger.
- Set an optional offset in minutes (e.g., -15 for 15 minutes before, +30 for 30 minutes after).
- Specify the days of the week for this program to be active.
- Sahkan dengan OK.
7.2. Weekly/Annual Programs
These programs allow you to set specific ON/OFF times for particular days of the week or dates of the year.
- Go to "Programs" and select "Weekly" or "Annual".
- Choose an empty program slot.
- Set the desired ON time (hour and minute).
