Troubleshooting

Timer does not turn on

Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is switched on. Verify that the wiring is correctly installed according to the manual and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Programmed schedule is not running

Check if the timer is in manual 'ON' or 'OFF' mode. Press the manual override button to return it to 'AUTO' mode. Confirm the schedule is correctly programmed with the correct day and time settings.

Display is blank

Verify the power supply to the timer. If there has been a power outage, the backup memory should retain settings, but the display may need time to re-initialize or require a manual check of the power connection.

Device connected to timer does not turn off

Ensure the 'OFF' time in the program is correctly set. Check for any active manual override settings. If the issue persists, inspect the wiring and the load itself.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This timer requires hardwired installation. It is crucial to disconnect the main power supply before beginning any wiring.

Follow the detailed wiring diagram provided in the manual to connect the load, live, and neutral wires correctly.
