Characteristics
Time switch with DCF control is used for the automatic real-time controlling of appliances. The
timer operates all year round without the need for continuous maintenance, with minimum op-
erating costs and maximum savings of electrical energy (for example for turning on heating,
pumps, ventilators, public lighting etc.). Appliances can be controlled in regular time cycles or
based on a pre-set programme.
Time switch SHT-6 is synchronized by a DCF77 signal using external receiver DCRF-1. Time switch
can operate independently without a DCF receiver. In the case of a power supply interruption,
the timer retains all set values required for its reliable activation after power is restored.
- Switching modes:
- Auto - automatic switching mode:
- Programme
- switching based on a programme (astro or time).
- Random
- switches randomly in a 10-120 minute interval.
- Holiday - holiday mode - option of setting up a period for which the timer will be blocked,
i.e. will not switch based on the set programmes.
- Manual
- manual mode - option of controlling the individual output relay manually
- Options of the automatic switching programme:
- Time programme - switching based on a pre-set time programme
- Memory capacity for 100 time programmes.
- Programming can be performed both when power is on or in backup mode.
- Output relays only operate with a supply voltage of AC 230 V.
- Menu display selection - CZ / SK / EN / ES / PL / HU / RU (default factory setting EN).
- Selection of automatic switching between summer / winter time based on location.
- Backlit LCD display.
- Simple and easy setup using 4 control buttons.
- Sealable transparent cover on the front panel.
- The timer has a backup battery that preserves data in case of a power supply failure (reserve
backup time up to 3 years).
- Supply voltage: AC 230 V.
- 2-module, mounted onto a DIN rail, clamping terminals.
- After plugging the timer in for the fi rst time, the current time, date and geographic location
must be set for correct operation of the clock.
Settings can be done:
- manually: only if the DCF signal is disabled
- automatically: if the receiver DCFR-1 is connected and DCF signal is enabled.

gramme. Permanent on / off is activated by simultaneous presses of the MAN, ESC, OK buttons.
After activating the permanent on/off , the display will fl ash briefl y.
Backup mode: After 2 minutes, the display switches to the sleep mode, i.e. shows no information.
The display can be activated by pressing any button.
* Displaying the date or status of DCF signal (switches after 4 s) status of DCF signal:
Prohibited DCF reception: DCF Flashes OFF
Allow DCF reception: good signal - DCF OK
** If the time is not set, the time indication is fl ashing. If the time is set (manually or automatically),
