Troubleshooting

Check that the appliance is correctly wired and within the timer's load capacity. Verify that a program is active and the current time is set correctly. Ensure the timer has power and the manual override is not set to 'off'.
Program schedules are not being followed.
Confirm that the current time and day are accurately set on the timer. Check that the programmed ON and OFF times do not overlap incorrectly or fall outside the active program day.
Settings are lost after a power interruption.
Ensure the rechargeable cell is functioning. If the issue persists after multiple power cycles, the cell may need replacement (consult a qualified electrician).
Timer display is blank.
Verify that the unit is receiving mains power. Check the fuse in the detachable caddy; replace if blown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This unit is designed for patress box mounting. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting any wiring. Connect the appropriate wires to the 4 x wire-protect screw terminals as per the wiring diagram (not provided, consult a qualified electrician if unsure). Once wired and powered, follow the device's instructions to set the current time and program your desired schedules.
Compatibility: Suitable for controlling lighting, immersion heaters, panel heaters, and towel rails within the specified load limits (13A resistive, 2A inductive). Ensure your appliance's power draw does not exceed these limits.
