Solar Traffic Controls marks completion of trials for the STC-01 Time Switch

TEMPE, AZ - 01/09/2006 - The STC-01 time switch recently marked the completion of field trials which proved its reliability and ease of programming with a variety of users. The STC-01 is a solid-state time switch capable of providing up to 16 holiday skip periods per year; 12 alternate schedule periods per year; daylight savings time, and leap year correction with the most recent revision of the software. Two 10A relay outputs are standard and one digital input is available as well. The unit also features a backlit 4-line by 12 character display and a user-friendly style for programming the annual schedule. All information is input using only 6 keys.

Each unit is capable of accepting a pre-programmed memory chip in lieu of entering the program on each individual time switch. Memory chips are programmed using an optional desktop programming package which requires no special cables nor software for the user's PC. The desktop programming package also serves as a training unit for personnel to learn how to use the STC-01 in the field thus saving on field costs. Other options include interface harnesses for connection to existing NTC-17 or AP21 harnesses. Many users have commented on the ease of use in programming the STC-01 over other brands of time switches.
