FAQs

How do I set the current time?

Refer to the instructions provided with the device, which will detail how to set the current time. This usually involves using buttons to navigate the display and enter the correct time.

How do I program the on and off times?

Consult the device's manual for specific instructions on how to set the on and off times. This usually involves using buttons to program the desired times and confirming the settings.

What happens if there's a power failure?

The internal memory backup battery will retain your programmed settings, so the timeswitch will continue to operate according to your schedule once power is restored.

How do I use the boost function?

Press the boost button (if available) to activate the 1 or 2-hour boost. The appliance will remain on for the selected time and then revert to the programmed schedule.

How do I replace the fuse?

The BS1362 fuse is accessible from the front of the timeswitch. Carefully remove the old fuse and replace it with a new fuse of the correct rating.

What is the warranty period?

Refer to the product documentation or contact Timeguard for the specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Timeswitch does not turn on.

Check the power supply and ensure the fuse is not blown. Verify the wiring connections are secure.

Appliance does not switch on at the programmed time.

Double-check the programmed times and ensure they are correctly set. Confirm the appliance is switched on.

Display is dim or blank.

Check the power supply and ensure the internal battery is charged, if applicable (although this model has a memory backup, this could be a factor in some scenarios).

Settings are lost after a power outage.

Confirm that the internal memory backup battery is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
