The Timeguard TGBD4 Boostmaster allows you to select a countdown time of up to 4 hours.

Can I use this timer for any appliance?

The timer has a 13A rating, making it suitable for most common household appliances. However, always check the power rating of your appliance to ensure compatibility.

How do I reset the timer?

The timer automatically switches off at the end of the set period. If you need to stop it early or reset it for a new countdown, you will typically need to activate it again for the desired duration.

Does this timer have a manual override switch?

The TGBD4 is a boost/countdown timer, meaning its primary function is timed operation. It replaces existing outlets and operates based on the selected countdown.

Is this timer suitable for outdoor use?

This product is designed for indoor use only. It is not weatherproof.

Do I need an electrician to install this timer?

While designed for straightforward replacement, installation involves mains electricity. If you are not experienced with electrical wiring, it is strongly recommended to use a qualified electrician.

What do the LED indicators mean?

The LED indicators provide a clear visual status of the timer's operation, showing when it is active and counting down.

Troubleshooting

Timer not switching on

Check that the appliance is correctly plugged in and switched on at the appliance itself. Ensure the main power supply to the unit is live.

Timer not switching off

Verify that the timer has completed its countdown cycle. If the issue persists, there may be an internal fault; consult a qualified electrician.

LED indicators not working

Ensure the unit is receiving power. If the LEDs remain off even when the unit is powered, there may be a fault with the display.

Appliance does not work when timer is active

Double-check all wiring connections if recently installed. Ensure the timer is set for the desired duration and has activated. Test the appliance directly without the timer to rule out appliance failure.
