turn-on light for 1min then turn-off again the light (turn-On light just
when we need it in addition to expand lifespan of the light by minimizing on
time/day)
- Example
2: if the room shutter roller is closed turn-On living room light (when there
is no light enter (window closed) turn-On the light)
- Example
3: if no motion is detected on the room/office for 15 min turn off all room

Wiring and installation Tips:
For
the wiring and installation of TX-Series switches, we need a line and
neutral as input (100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz) to power on the switch, in his
turn it provides an output according to the gang number (for 1 gang we have 1
output and so on) each channel(gang) provides (100-240 Vac 50/60 Hz) and with
2A per channel so about 480W maximum power which is perfect to cover all your
need for lighting
