Most likely you will only be able to control the drivers on channels 1 and 4 of each PC4 because the LEDs don't draw enough current to kick off the electronic relays on channels 2 and 3. You can overcome this by plugging a surge protector into the channel you want and then the driver into the surge protector. That will draw enough to shut down the electronic relays.

After that it's all programming. You just need to go to

Menu --> Modules --> PC4 (first or second one) --> Channel (select the channel you want to program) --> Function --> Light --> Select on/off time.

You will do that for each channel on each PC4 that you have a driver plugged into and you will be good to go.

Good luck!
