I would like to use the Plant-Condenser Control function to control CT-A3 (Cooling Tower) and ensure that it shuts down at specific times. I want CT-A3 to remain off from March 31 to November 30. However, despite my settings (as shown in the attached image), it does not seem to work as expected—CT-A3 still turns on at times when I do not want it to.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this issue? Thank you in advance for your assistance!
