Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The SIR022 requires connection directly into the mains electrical supply. It is designed to replace an existing switch or be installed in-line with the appliance circuit. Due to the mains voltage and high current involved, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Compatibility: This timer is suitable for resistive loads up to 3000 Watts (3 kW). This includes:
- Panel heaters
- Immersion heaters
- Heated towel rails
- Oil-filled radiators
- Extremely simple appliances with a resistive heating element.
It is *not* suitable for inductive loads (like motors) or fluorescent lighting without appropriate controls.
Care: Keep the unit clean and dry. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure ventilation around the unit is not obstructed.
