841 & 842
Seven Day Pulsed Output Electronic Timeswitches
110 Volt
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Model 841 & 842 Timeswitches must be installed
by a competent electrician and the installation should
conform to IEE Wiring Regulations.
Installation & Wiring
1. Slacken the four fi xing screws, one in each corner of the unit, and
carefully separate the front and rear portions. Unplug the ribbon cable
from the rear portion.
CAUTION: Do not allow either half of the unit to hang by the ribbon
cable as damage could be caused.
2. Remove the polystyrene packing piece from the top of the transformer.
It is marked ‘REMOVE’.
3. Select the desired fi xing position and observe the label ‘THIS WAY UP’
inside the rear portion. The two halves will only assemble correctly
one way round.
4. Four fi xing holes are provided for attaching the rear portion to the
wall or mounting surface.
Conduit box adaptors as shown below are available if required.

5. Surface cable entries to the units can be made from above, below or
from the left hand side. Conduit or recessed cable entry is through the
aperture in the rear moulding.
6. For surface cable entr y remove the appropriate knock-out and ensure
one of the two cable clamps is positioned correctly.
7. Connections to the units should be made as shown below.

In the case of Model 842 terminals 1, 2 and 3 (if required) should be
connected to the load controlled by Channel 1 and terminals 4, 5 and
6 (if required) to the load controlled by Channel 2.
8. The unit is supplied set for a 5 second single pulse output. If a multi
pulse output is required, proceed as described in paragraph 10 (b). If a
number of pulses or the pulse duration is required to be different from
supplied, proceed as described in paragraph 11(b).
9. Upon completion of wiring plug in the ribbon cable ensuring the
polarised plug is fully inserted into the socket. Refi t the front half of the
timeswitch ensuring correct alignment and that no cables are trapped
before re-tightening the screws.
10. TO CHANGE FROM SINGLE TO MULTI PULSE OUTPUT
(a) Remove the front portion of the unit as described in ‘Installation
and Wiring’ paragraph 1.
(b) A push/pull switch is provided on the rear of the printed circuit
board inside the front portion of the unit.
With the switch pulled out (as supplied) this provides a single pulse
output. Push the switch in to achieve a multi pulse output (½ second
on followed by ½ second off).
On Model 842 a push/pull switch is provided for each channel to enable
different types of pulsed output if required. The switch relating to each
channel is clearly marked.
11. RESETTING OF SWITCHING DURATION
(a) Remove the front portion of the unit as described in ‘Installation
and Wiring’ paragraph 1.
(b) The bank of four miniature rocker switches is mounted on the
printed circuit board inside the front portion of the unit.
When switch no. 1 is ‘on’ 1 second duration is set.
When switch no. 2 is ‘on’ 2 seconds duration is set.
When switch no. 3 is ‘on’ 4 seconds duration is set.
When switch no. 4 is ‘on’ 8 seconds duration is set.
When all 4 switches are ‘on’ the duration is
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15 seconds.
Any combination of the 4 switches may be selected to set from 1 to
15 seconds in increments of 1 second.
If all 4 switches were ‘off’ there would be no output and so this setting
should be avoided.

If the control circuit(s) are to operate at 110V then terminals L & 1
(Model 841) and terminals L, 1 and 4 (Model 842) must be linked,
ensuring that the cable is sheathed and of a size to carry the required
load current.
If, however, the control circuit(s) are operating at other than 110V then
no link(s) shall be fi tted and in the case of Model 841 both terminals 1
and 2 should be connected to the load.
