The days are getting longer and flowers are beginning to bloom. Spring is almost here and that means it will once again be time to “Spring Forward”. To a Property Manager it might also mean many calls/emails asking to have lighting timers reset on their properties to account for Daylight Saving Time (DST). This is a productivity killer. There is good news however! Those dreaded calls and emails can be avoided with the installation of an Astronomical Timer. Timers with both astronomic and Daylight Saving Time (DST) functionality automatically adjust to the seasonal day-to-night time changes throughout the year. An electronic timer with astronomic functionality determines each day’s sunrise and sunset times based on geographic location, while the automatic DST functionality resets the clock by one hour in the spring and fall. This type of scheduling adaptability takes the hassle out of manually turning lights ON and OFF, freeing up maintenance staff for other jobs and enhancing a property’s safety.
Here are some of the advantages of installing an Astronomical Timer.
Lights will power up on schedule with power restoration in the event of an outage.
Keeps time digitally to the second.
Set it once, it remains set for the next 50 years.
Adjusts automatically for Daylight Savings.
Self adjusts for all seasons and also Leap Year.
Keeps accurate time even through loss of power.
Small price for priceless peace of mind.
It truly is a no brainer to set it and forget it. We’d love to discuss with you the pain free process of switching your time clocks over to the Astronomical Timer.
