B. Description: Microprocessor-based, solid-state, 365-day timing and
control unit with output circuits individually programmable controls in
response to programmed time signals or analog or digital signals from
external sources. System automatically adjusts for leap year and
daylight saving time and provides weekly routine and annual holiday
scheduling. The system output circuits are external pilot duty relay
circuits or external power circuits rated for 20 amperes at 277 V as
indicated. System is keyboard programmable. A locked cover and security
access code protects keyboard use. Programming is viewed on an
alphanumeric display. For single-pole-relay control of power circuits
use relays in control panel or in a separate enclosure. System includes
the following features:

C. Description: Multiple remote addressable microprocessor control units
operating in a multiplexed distributed control system or as part of a
network under the control of a central microcomputer. Control units
receive programming from a hand-held programmer or by multiplexed signal
transmission from a central microprocessor or microcomputer. Controls
include a solid-state, programmable, 365-day timing unit that can
receive inputs from other indicated sensors and sources. System is
capable of controlling lighting and miscellaneous circuits by on-off
control and by transmitting commands to preset dimmer controls. Relays
and contactors or solenoid-operated circuit breakers control on-off.
System has nonvolatile memory and reboots program automatically without
errors after a power outage. System includes the following features:

> 1\. Astronomic control for automatic adjustment of dawn and dusk
> switching.
>
> 2\. Demand control to monitor demand through pulses from a remote
> meter. System capability includes sliding window averaging and
> programming of load priorities and characteristics. A minimum of 2
> different time-of-day demand schedules execute load management control
> actions.
>
> 3\. Confirmation: Relays, contactors, and other control devices have
> auxiliary contacts connected to provide confirmation signals to the
> system of the on or off status of the equipment controlled. Software
> interprets such signals and displays equipment status and initiates
> failure signals.
>
> 4\. Remote communications allow programming, data-gathering
> interrogation, and controlled command override from an IBM-compatible
> microcomputer at a remote location over telephone lines. System
> includes modem, communications software, and remote computer
> compatibility verification for this purpose. Override of lighting
> shutdown commands is accomplished by telephoning the computer and
> entering an override code specific to the zone to be controlled.
>
> 5\. Override Capability: Remote pushbuttons override programmed
> shutdown of lighting and other programmed control.
>
> 6\. Automatic battery backup provides power to maintain program and
> system clock operation for 3 days\' minimum duration when power is
> off.
>
> 7\. Flick Warning: Programmable momentary turnoff of lights warns that
> programmed shutoff will occur in 5 minutes.
>
> 8\. Diagnostics: When system operates improperly, software initiates a
> factory-programmed diagnosis of the failure and displays messages
> identifying the problem and possible cause.

relay in the control panel to turn lights on when room is occupied and
off when room is unoccupied. A user adjustable time delay feature keeps
lights on for a period after the last motion detection to prevent false
turnoff. A user adjustable sensitivity adjustment will cause the sensor
coverage area to increase or decrease within a specified range. The
