DESCRIPTION
The MSC-100 System Clock provides automated control to
the Watt Stopper/Legrand MRHC3/MRRC3 Scene Interfaces
with Top Dog™ wireless network interconnectivity. The 5-
channel time clock is used with the Watt Stopper/Legrand
wireless network lighting control system, providing on/off
control signals based on time of day, day of week, holiday,
and calculated sunrise/sunset (astronomic time). Simple
programming features combined with advanced control
options make the MSC-100 a powerful tool for automating
your Watt Stopper wireless network system.
Top Dog™ Wireless Communication
Watt Stopper wireless devices use radio signals to
communicate with each other to control lighting and other
types of electric loads in selected areas. These wireless
devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control
communication. Using the Watt Stopper’s own “frequency-
agile” Top Dog™ technology, these wireless devices avoid
interference with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless
phones and baby monitors.
OPERATION
A hardwired connection from the MSC-100 sends an on/off
signal to relay channels. Schedules within the clock are
programmed events that create on/off commands for clock
channels. Programming is conducted via the easy to read
LCD screen on the MSC-100. All schedules will receive a
number, type, time of day, channel, days to run programs,
and specific event operations. Each schedule can operate on
any combination of regularly scheduled events and holiday
occurrences. All programming is securely stored in non-
volatile memory.
One MSC-100 can support a connection to a maximum of
(2) Watt Stopper/Legrand wireless network Scene Interface
Modules, depending on the number of scenes required.
The MSC-100 has five isolated relay channels. The internal
relay channels correspond to schedule channels 1-5. Spare
relay channels from the MSC-100 can also be used to
control third party devices such as fountains or sprinkler
systems.
Power Failure Memory
After a power failure, all wireless devices automatically
return to the state that they were in immediately prior to loss
of power. All configuration and scene control information is
preserved. The battery backed time carry over assures that
the MSC -100 remains in sync, and the initialization process
within it automatically runs any programming/events that
were scheduled to happen during the power outage.
Application Assistance
The MSC-100 functions as part of a network that contains
Top Dog enabled wireless devices that may
include Miro architectural or decorator-style
in-wall devices as well as portable remote
controls and other accessories. Instructions
for installation, binding operations, and use
are included with the relevant wireless
devices. Application support information
and installation guides for Watt Stopper/
Legrand wireless network devices are
available at www.wattstopper.com.
INSTALLATION
The MSC-100 System Clock can be installed in an equipment
room, garage, or user occupied space and should be located
within a reasonable distance of the house or room scene
controller with which it will be interfacing.
Use low voltage (16-20 gauge Belden or similar) wire to
make all connections between the MSC-100 and the Scene
Interface.
The MSC-100 is an interior device and should not be
mounted outdoors. If mounting in a location that is not
climate controlled, the MSC-100 may be mounted in an
enclosure. However, the wireless devices with which the
clock interfaces cannot be guaranteed to work within a
metallic electrical enclosure.

2. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLOCK AND
THE SCENE INTERFACE
2.1 Interconnectivity
After completing the wiring as described, the MSC-100 can
control (2) separate scenes ON and OFF and a full HOUSE or
ROOM OFF through the use of a single scene interface. This
is accomplished through scenes 6-9 on the Watt Stopper
wireless network system.
2.11 Programming Scenes
A room or house scene should be set up in your Watt
Stopper wireless network system prior to programming
the clock channels. A signal to an MRRC3/MRHC3 Input 1
recalls scenes 6 and 7. A signal to Input 2 recalls scenes
8 and 9. A signal to Input 3 recalls Room On/Off (MRRC3)
or House On/Off or Panic (MRHC3). See the Installation
Instructions for the Scene Interface to program scenes.
2.12 MSC-100 Output
The relay channel outputs on the MSC-100 may be
programmed with an event to turn ON the first scene, or
set of lights, at a given time (set time or astronomic) and
another event to turn OFF the same scene at a second point
in time. Additional relay channels on the MSC-100 may be
used to activate other scenes, to send an OFF signal to the
entire room or house (depending on the scene interface
used), or to enact “panic” mode (see installation instructions
for Scene Interfaces for more detail).
A schedule can be programmed for every day, or individual
schedules may apply to different days. See “Entering and
Editing Clock Schedules” for further detail.
3. PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK
3.1 Function Overview
The MSC-100 has five basic functions which it performs:
• Normal day-of-week scheduled events
• Holiday/exception events
• Override of channels
• Time-keeping
This section provides an overview of these functions.
3.2 Schedule Overview
The day on which scheduled events occur can be on a day of
the week or on a holiday/exception date.
The time of the day which they occur can either be an
explicit time, such as 8:00 a.m., or a calculated time based
on a calculation of sunrise or sunset (astronomical) for
outdoor lighting. Explicit time of day (not an astronomical
time) schedules can be repeated over and over again.
The schedules of the clock create single events which
change state of local relay channels and/or send information
to the scene interface. When an event occurs, it affects the
value or state of a clock channel. So, a single schedule will
turn something ON and OFF.
In many situations, it is desired to turn a load ON or OFF at a
certain time, and then reverse its state later. In those cases,
two schedules are used: one to create an event which will
turn the device ON or OFF, and another to reverse its state.
3.3 Relationship between Schedules and Holiday
Dates
Dates can be defined which change the days on which the
schedule events occur. These dates can have three effects
on the overall schedule of the system:
1) Stop a schedule from occurring on its normal day(s) of
the week;
2) Have schedules occur only on those holiday/exception
dates; and
3) Defi ne when a schedule is to occur in addition to its
normal day(s) of the week.
Each date is assigned to a “holiday type”, H1, H2, or H3.
Each one of these types can be defined in each schedule.
For example, if a schedule is assigned to type HI, then it
will occur on every date(s) which is assigned to H1. See
examples below.
Note: If holiday functionality is not required, skip to
“Entering and Editing Clock Schedules”.
Example One
You will be away for a certain holiday and do not want a
certain scene to function during your absence. These holiday
dates are defined as type H1. For all schedules defined
to use days of the week and NOT H1 will not run on those
dates.
Example Two
You host a yearly party during which time you’d like specific
lights to operate for an extended period of time. These dates
should be assigned as type H2. Schedules for the lights
would be created which define those extended hours and
assigned to H2 and no days of the week. Then, on those
dates, the H2 schedules would run, and the normal day-of-
week schedules would not.
3.4 Entering and Editing Clock Schedules
Schedules are time events saved in non-volatile memory
that cause outputs (clock channels) to turn ON and OFF. The
clock has 120 schedules available. Each schedule consists
of a schedule number, type, time, channel, day(s) and may
also include information for specific clock output channel
operation.
3.41 Accessing the Schedule Screen
To access the schedules from the Run screen, press the
MENU button to access the Main Menu. Then press the UP
or DOWN button to move the Navigation Pointer to “Edit
Schedules” menu items. Press the ENTER button to access

button to make the schedule number blink active. Use the
UP or DOWN buttons to sequentially scroll through each
schedule’s first four lines of data.
3.44 Schedule Types (Type:)
Each schedule has a schedule type associated with it
which determines what function the clock performs at
the specified time, date, and/or event. Enter the schedule
type by navigating the pointer to the “Type:” descriptor in
the Schedule screen and then press the NEXT button (or,
if already in the schedule “Sch#:” data field just press the
NEXT button). The schedule type data field will become

3.44D Time On/Dawn Off (TmOn/Dawn)
The “Time On/Dawn Off” schedule type is used when a clock
channel is to be turned ON at a specific time in the evening
or early morning and then turned OFF when it is dawn.
Dawn is a calculated time that changes with the seasons
according to the geographic location settings entered in the
clock preferences. The Dawn Off event can be offset, plus or
minus, up to two hours from the calculated time of dawn.
If the scheduled ON time is later than the clock calculated
time of dawn plus the offset, the schedule will take no action
and the channel will remain OFF. The scheduled ON time
can only be from midnight (12:00AM or 0:00 hours) to noon
(12:00PM or 12:00 hours) the day of that schedule.

minus 25 minutes (so, if the sunrise occurs at 6:00AM on
that day, the clock will turn channel 1 OFF at 5:35AM). If
the sunrise minus 25 minutes is calculated to occur before
5:00AM, channel 1 will not turn ON that day.
3.44E Dusk On/Time Off (Dusk/TmOf)
The “Dusk On/Time Off” schedule type is used when a clock
channel is turned ON at dusk and OFF at a specified time.
Dusk is a calculated time that changes with the seasons
according to the geographic location settings entered in the
clock preferences. The Dusk ON event can be offset plus or
minus up to two hours from the calculated time of dusk.
If the scheduled OFF time is earlier than the clock
calculated time of dusk plus the offset, the schedule
will take no action and the channel will remain OFF. The
scheduled time OFF can be scheduled from noon the day of
the schedule to noon the next day.

at 6:00PM on that day, the clock will turn channel 1 ON at
6:30PM). If dusk plus 30 minutes is calculated to occur after
8:00PM, channel 1 will not turn ON that day.
3.44F Dusk On/Dawn Off (Dusk/Dawn)
The “Dusk On/Dawn Off” schedule type is used when a clock
channel turns ON at dusk and OFF at dawn. Dusk and dawn
are calculated times that change with the seasons according
to the geographic location settings entered in the clock
preferences. The Dusk On and Dawn Off events can be offset
plus or minus up to two hours from the calculated time of
dusk or dawn. There is no time data associated with this
schedule.

3.5 Time (Time:)
The time parameter of a schedule is the time of day at which
the schedule event occurs. Schedule time is in whole minute
increments displayed in either AM/PM(12 hour) format or
military time (24 hour) format. The time format is selected in
the clock preferences setting (see section 3.7).
Enter the schedule time by navigating the pointer to the
“Time:” descriptor in the Schedule screen and then press
the NEXT button (or, if already in the schedule “Type:” data
field just press the NEXT button). The hour data field will
become active by blinking. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to
change the hour value.
Press the NEXT button to advance to the minutes field and
set the minutes by using the UP and DOWN buttons. Press
the NEXT button to advance to the next schedule parameter.
Execution of schedules is based on time of day and is
subject to the processing time of the clock. This means
that schedules may not actually occur exactly on the time
transition from one minute to the next, but may be delayed
by a few seconds while the clock processes the various
schedules.
The time parameter saved for Time On/Dawn Off is the time
the assigned channel will turn ON. The time parameter
saved for Dusk On/Time Off represents the time the
assigned channel will turn OFF (see Schedule Types section
3.4.4, Time On/Dawn Off & Dusk On/Time Off).
There are no time parameters for Unused schedules or for
the Dusk/Dawn schedule type (see Schedule Types section
3.4.4, Dusk On / Dawn Off).

3.6 Clock Channels (Chnl:)
Clock channels are the physical and software controlled
channels which are affected by schedules. Schedules cannot
exist without assignment to a channel. Channels 1-3 will be
used with a Scene Interface.
Enter the channel by navigating the pointer to the “Chnl:”
descriptor in the Schedule screen and then press the NEXT

Second scene (Channel 2) ON: Scene 8
Second scene (Channel 2) OFF: Scene 9
House/Room (Channel 3) ON: Room/House On
House/Room (Channel 3) OFF: Room/House Off
These numbers will correspond to the scenes programmed
to the Scene Interface Module. Scenes 6 and 7 should be
programmed on scene interface Input 1, Scenes 8 and on
Input 2, and Room/House On/Off or Panic on Input 3 (if
applicable).

3.7 Days of the Week and Holiday types
(Day: SMTWTFS 123)
A schedule may execute on any day of the week/holiday or
multiple combination of days as needed. Schedules which
have holiday types H1(1), H2 (2), or H3 (3) assigned allow
the schedule to execute on dates that are saved with that
holiday type through the EDIT HOLIDAY menu.
When a date that has previously been saved as a holiday
through the EDIT HOLIDAY menu function occurs, all
schedules that would normally operate on that day of week
(Monday, Tuesday, etc.,) do not execute. Instead, only the
schedules assigned to the holiday type (either H1, H2, or H3)
execute on that date and continue to execute on subsequent
days depending on the duration of the holiday saved for that
holiday date (see Entering and Editing Holiday/Exception
Dates, section 3.5).
The days of the week are abbreviated “SMTWTFS” starting
with Sunday ending with Saturday. The three holiday types
are abbreviated “123” corresponding to H1, H2, and H3
holiday types. Select the data fields for the days by using
the NEXT and PREV buttons. The cursor will flash under
the abbreviation for day of the week or holiday type. Use the
UP or DOWN button to select the current day by placing an
asterisk under the abbreviation for the day of the week or
holiday.
Pressing the UP or DOWN button again will de-select the
day. Use the NEXT and PREV buttons to go forward and
backward as needed to select other days of the week for
schedule operation.
A schedule of any type except UNUSED cannot be saved
without at least one day of the week selected.

3.8 Saving Schedules to Memory
At the bottom of the Schedule screen the text “ENTER TO
SAVE” will appear. Whenever this text line is visible on the
clock screen, the clock is prepared to save recently entered
data. Pressing the ENTER button immediately saves the
displayed schedule’s data to non-volatile memory. After
the ENTER button is pressed and the schedule saved, the
display will show the first four lines of the next sequential
schedule number. Schedules recently entered are not
executed until the clock initializes the schedules when it
returns to the Run screen.
If an entry error is made in the schedule data, the clock will
not store this schedule in memory when the ENTER button
is pressed. Instead, the clock will highlight the first data
field of the error to be corrected before the schedule can
be saved to memory. Common errors might be no channel
number entered, or no days entered, etc.

>ENTER TO SAVE
Figure 3.8 Enter To Save.
Figure 3.8 shows the last four lines of a schedule that
repeats every hour. Pressing ENTER from this screen will
save this schedule into the clock’s memory.
CAUTION
If new data is entered into a schedule and the schedule
exited without saving, the schedule data will be lost. The
schedule will revert back to the data previously entered
in memory. Example: if data was entered into schedule
1 and then schedule 1 is exited by going to another
schedule number or by returning to a menu screen without
pressing ENTER to save, the new data for schedule 1 will
be lost. Schedule 1 will revert back to previously entered
data in memory. Also, if schedule data is entered into
the clock screens but not saved, after three minutes of
button inactivity, the clock will time out and return to
the Run screen without saving the new schedule data.

4. ENTERING AND EDITING HOLIDAY/
EXCEPTION DATES
Note: If no holiday schedules are necessary, skip to
“Changing Time and Date”.
The clock has advanced holiday/exception (referred to as
holidays) date scheduling ability. The clock can have up to 32
holiday start dates each with a duration of 1 to 120 days in
length. Each holiday may be assigned one of three different
holiday day types, H1, H2 or H3.
When a holiday start date occurs, the clock substitutes the
assigned holiday day types (H1, H2, H3), for the normal day
of the week schedule (Monday, Tuesday, etc.,) which would
normally be executed. Selecting the schedules that execute
on a holiday is done when entering and editing Day-of-
Week Schedules (see section 3.4). The clock can continue to
execute the holiday schedule for a consecutive number of
days specified by the holiday duration.
The holiday worksheets found at the end if this manual
should be filled out prior to entering any holiday data.

execute each year perpetually. If selecting a day of week
holiday the year/month data field will scroll the months of
the year (Jan., Feb., etc.). Press the NEXT button to advance
to the next data field.
Holiday dates can be any one of the following type of holiday
events:
4.51 Single Date Holidays
Single date holidays can be any date M/D/Y or D/M/Y in
the future up to the year 2097. These holidays execute
the schedules assigned to the holiday type (H1, H2, H3)
at the beginning of the start date and continue executing
the schedules for the duration of the holiday. Single date
holidays are a one time occurrence and will not execute
again after the date has passed.

4.7 Saving Holidays to Memory
At the bottom of the holiday screen the text “ENTER TO
SAVE” will appear. Whenever this text line is visible on the
clock screen, the clock is prepared to save new data to
memory. Pressing the ENTER button immediately saves the
data for the displayed holiday to non-volatile memory. After
the ENTER button is pressed and the holiday is saved, the
display will show the first four lines of the next sequential
holiday number. Holidays recently entered will not execute
until the clock initializes when it returns to the Run screen.

>ENTER TO SAVE
Figure 4.7 Holiday edit screen Enter To Save selected.
Figure 4.7 shows the last four lines of a holiday that occurs
each year on the last Monday in May and occurs for just one
day. Pressing ENTER from this screen will save this holiday
into the clock’s memory.
If an entry error is made in the holiday screen data, the
clock will not store this holiday in memory when the ENTER
button is pressed. Instead, the clock will highlight the first
data field of the error to be corrected before the holiday can
be saved to memory. Common errors might be no holiday
number of days entered, etc.
CAUTION
If new data is entered into a holiday and the holiday is
exited without saving, the holiday data will be lost. The
holiday reverts back to the data previously entered in
memory. Example: if data was entered into holiday 1 then
holiday 1 is exited by going to another holiday number or
by returning to a menu screen without pressing ENTER
to save, the new data for holiday 1 will be lost. Holiday
1 reverts back to PREV entered data in memory.
Also, if holiday data is entered into the clock
screens but not saved, after three minutes of button
inactivity, the clock will time out and return to the
Run screen without saving the new holiday data.
5. CHANGING THE TIME AND DATE
The clock time and date is supported and kept current
by an internal clock chip. When power is lost to the clock
and clock operations cease, the memory is safely stored
in non-volatile memory and the clock is kept running by a
back-up lithium battery. The lithium battery can support the
clock chip for eight years if the clock were to remain without
power for that period of time. The replacement battery
is a # BR1616 by RayoVAC, Panasonic or other common
manufacturer.
The clock date automatically compensates for leap year
and will also automatically compensate for daylight savings
transition if configured to do so (see Setting Daylight Savings
Time in section 3.7).

The clock can compensate for astronomic seasonal changes
in the sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. By
calculating when dusk and dawn occurs for each day of the
year, exterior lighting and other controlled loads influenced
by the sun may be automatically controlled without the use
of a light level sensor or photocell device. The required
parameters for the clock to accurately calculate dusk and
dawn are position by latitude and longitude and time zone.
Longitude:+122°
Latitude:+38°

Astronomic calculations are approximations of actual
sunrise and sunset times. Calculated dusk/dawn times are
accurate within plus or minus 10 minutes of the official
times for a given location. Note that other influencing
factors such as weather and terrain may affect the
perception of when actual sunrise and sunset occurs.
When using dusk/dawn scheduling functions to turn clock
output channels ON/OFF, use the offset time feature in the
