The electrical connection terminals are visible at the top, and wiring diagrams (N, M, L, 1, 2, 3) are printed on the lower front face.
Components clau:
- Time Setting Dial: Used to set the desired ON/OFF periods.
- Interruptor d'anul·lació manual: Allows temporary manual control (ON/OFF) independent of the programmed schedule.
- Terminals de connexió: For power input (L, N) and load connection (1, 2, 3 for SPST-NO contact).
- Coberta transparent: Protects the setting dial and indicators.
4. Configuració i instal·lació
4.1 Muntatge
The timer is designed for DIN rail mounting. Securely attach the device to a standard 35mm DIN rail within an electrical enclosure.
4.2 Esquema de cablejat
Refer to the wiring diagram printed on the device and follow local electrical codes. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- L: Live input (230VAC)
- N: Entrada neutral
- 1: Common terminal for the switch contact
- 2: Normally Open (NO) terminal for the switch contact
- 3: (If present, typically for internal motor or additional contact, refer to specific product markings)
Connect the load to terminals 1 and 2. When the timer activates, the contact between 1 and 2 will close, supplying power to the load.
5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Configuració de l'hora actual
- Rotate the main time setting dial (usually marked with hours 0-24) clockwise until the current time aligns with the reference arrow or marker on the timer's body.
5.2 Programming ON/OFF Periods
The timer typically uses small segments or pins around the dial to set ON/OFF times. Each segment usually represents a 15-minute interval.
- To set an "ON" period, push the corresponding segments outwards.
- To set an "OFF" period, leave the corresponding segments pushed inwards.
- Ensure that the total ON/OFF periods cover the desired 24-hour cycle.
5.3 Anulació manual
The timer may have a manual override switch (often labeled with symbols like 'I', 'O', or a clock icon). This switch allows you to temporarily bypass the programmed schedule.
- 'I' (ON): Forces the output ON, regardless of the program.
- 'O' (OFF): Forces the output OFF, regardless of the program.
- Clock Symbol (AUTO): Returns control to the programmed schedule.
