Scheduling 
 
About Scheduling 
The system provides one end-user schedule (programmable by master/installer only), 
which can control various types of events.  
• The schedule causes a defined event to start and stop (when appropriate) at a 
specified time.  
• The schedule can be set to automatically repeat at various intervals. 
• The schedule can be set for random starting, if desired.
