FAQs

What is the shortest switching time possible?

The shortest switching time for channel 1 is 1 minute.

Can this timer switch both AC and DC loads?

The timer is rated for 250VAC. While it may function with some DC loads, it's primarily designed and rated for AC applications up to 16A.

How long does the internal battery backup last?

The device has an autonomy of 52596 hours, which translates to approximately 6 years, ensuring program retention during power outages.

How do I set the current time and date?

Use the buttons on the front panel. Typically, there's a 'Set' or 'Clock' button to enter time setting mode, followed by buttons to adjust hours, minutes, and days.

What is the degree of protection (IP rating)?

The timer switch has an IP20 protection rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but has no protection against water.

Can I program this timer without a PC?

Yes, basic programming can be done directly using the buttons on the front panel. PC programming is an optional feature for more complex schedules.

What type of contact does it have?

It features a 1-channel potential-free changeover contact (SPDT - Single Pole Double Throw).

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Verify the 230V AC power supply is connected correctly to the designated terminals and that the circuit breaker is active.

Timer is not switching at programmed times.

Double-check the programmed times and days. Ensure the current date and time are correctly set on the device. Confirm the output contact is wired correctly to the load.

PC programming software does not connect.

Ensure the front panel is correctly removed and the interface cable is securely connected at both ends. Verify you are using the correct programming software for this model.

Device displays erratic behavior or errors.

Try resetting the device to factory defaults (refer to the manual for the reset procedure). If the issue persists, the unit may require replacement.
