Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician as this unit replaces a standard fused spur and connects directly to the mains. Ensure the wall box depth is sufficient to accommodate the unit's rear wiring. Once installed, clear the memory by pressing the reset button to start fresh. Use the program button to toggle through your desired daily modes and set your ON/OFF intervals. The battery charges automatically when the device is powered; for long-term care, simply ensure the faceplate remains dry and replace the 13A fuse if a power surge causes it to blow.
