TSR LCD – Astronomic Timer Upgrade for TSRPT Manual Transformers

Upgrade your existing TSRPT Manual Transformer with the TSR LCD Astronomic Timer, a smart and convenient control solution designed to automate your landscape lighting according to natural sunset and sunrise times.

Instead of relying on a basic fixed-time schedule that may require frequent adjustments throughout the year, the TSR LCD uses astronomic scheduling based on your programmed location. Once properly configured, it automatically adapts as daylight hours change from season to season, helping keep your landscape lighting operating at the right time without constant manual resetting.

Smarter Landscape Lighting Control

The TSR LCD is designed for customers who want the simplicity of automatic lighting control without replacing their existing TSRPT transformer.

After installation, users can program the timer according to their location and desired operating schedule. The timer then follows local sunset and sunrise patterns, allowing landscape lights to turn on and off at more appropriate times throughout the year.

This makes it especially useful for:

• Residential landscape lighting
• Pathway and garden lighting systems
• Outdoor architectural lighting
• Commercial landscape installations
• Properties where lighting schedules change significantly between summer and winter

Automatic Sunset and Sunrise Scheduling

One of the key advantages of the TSR LCD is its ability to operate according to astronomic sunset and sunrise times.

Traditional timers often operate at the same clock time every day. However, sunset may occur much earlier in winter and significantly later during summer. This can result in lights turning on too early, too late, or remaining on longer than necessary.

The TSR LCD helps solve this problem by automatically adjusting the lighting schedule as daylight hours change.

The result is a landscape-lighting system that operates more naturally throughout the year.

Seasonal Time Adjustment

With a conventional timer, users may need to manually change the programmed schedule several times per year as sunrise and sunset times shift.

The TSR LCD reduces this inconvenience by automatically accounting for seasonal daylight changes once the system has been properly programmed.

This means:

• Less frequent manual adjustment
• More consistent nighttime lighting
• Better alignment with actual daylight conditions
• Greater convenience throughout the year

For homeowners, property managers, and contractors maintaining multiple lighting systems, this can significantly simplify routine operation.

Easy-to-Read LCD Display

The built-in LCD display provides a clear interface for programming and reviewing timer settings.

Straightforward controls make it easier to configure operating schedules, while the digital display provides a more convenient programming experience than basic mechanical timer systems.

Once the initial setup is completed, the system is designed to operate automatically with minimal day-to-day attention.

Upgrade Your Existing TSRPT Manual Transformer

The TSR LCD is designed as an upgrade for compatible TSRPT Manual Transformers, allowing customers to add automatic astronomic timing functionality without replacing the complete transformer.

This provides a practical solution for existing installations where the transformer is still functioning properly but greater automation is desired.

Instead of upgrading the entire landscape-lighting power system, the TSR LCD allows customers to add smarter scheduling capability directly to the compatible transformer.

Reduce Unnecessary Lighting Runtime

Automating landscape lighting around actual sunset and sunrise conditions can help prevent fixtures from operating when illumination is not needed.

Reducing unnecessary runtime can provide several advantages:

• Lower energy consumption
• Reduced operating hours
• Less unnecessary use of lamps and LED components
• Potentially longer fixture and lamp service life
• More efficient transformer operation
• Reduced need for manual switching

For larger landscape-lighting systems containing numerous fixtures, better scheduling can make a meaningful difference in overall system efficiency.

Reliable, Hands-Free Operation

Once installed and programmed, the TSR LCD provides convenient automatic operation every day.

Homeowners no longer need to remember to manually switch their landscape lights on each evening or off each morning. Likewise, property managers can maintain a more consistent lighting schedule without making frequent seasonal timer adjustments.

The system helps ensure that pathways, gardens, entrances, driveways, and architectural features remain illuminated when they are most needed.

Ideal for Complete Landscape Lighting Systems

The TSR LCD is particularly valuable for properties using landscape lighting for both appearance and nighttime functionality.

It can help automate lighting for:

• Path lights
• Spotlights
• Well lights
• Step lights
• Hardscape lighting
• Garden lighting
• Driveway lighting
• Architectural accent lighting
• Outdoor entertainment areas
• Commercial landscape installations

When paired with a compatible TSRPT Manual Transformer, the TSR LCD provides a convenient central scheduling solution for the connected landscape-lighting system.
