INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE NOTE: INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
HEATING ENGINEER.

MAKE SURE MAINS INPUT HAS A 3 AMP FUSE.

The Timeswitch conforms to the essential
requirements of these Directives:

2004/108/EC – Electromagnetic compatibility
2006/95/EC – Low voltage

BEFORE INSTALLATION

First, make sure the mains supply is switched off!

USING AN EXISTING WALL-PLATE

Loosen the securing screws on the old timeswitch and unplug it.
Check that there’s 70mm clearance to the right of the wall-plate,
and 25mm above it. Now plug the unit into the wall­plate and tighten the securing screws. Check the 3A fuse, and
switch on the mains.

FITTING A NEW WALL-PLATE

The ideal location is 1.4m above floor level, with reasonable
lighting, good access, no condensation, no extremes of
temperature, and a supporting surface that fully covers the back
of the unit.

Position with 70mm clearance to the right, 25mm above, and
sufficient room to access the securing screws underneath.

Fix, with terminals at the top, either direct to a flat wall using wall
plugs and no. 6 x 1" woodscrews, or on a flush mounting single
conduit b

ox type UA1 (BS4662) using M3.5 x 14 bolts. DO NOT

USE A SURFACE MOUNTING BOX.

WIRING THE TIMESWITCH WALL PLATE

For surface wiring, snap out the cable entry strip on the bottom
edge of the wall-plate. Lifestyle units are double-insulated and
need no earth connection, but an earthing continuity (loop)
terminal is provided for convenience.

Internal wiring

PRIOR TO MOUNTING THE UNIT SELECT THE PROGRAM SETTING

The Universal Timeswitch is selectable, which means it must be
set to the customer’s requirements as part of the installation
procedure. There are 3 options:

24-hour Program – same times, 7 days a week.

5/2-day Program – weekends different to weekday times.

7-day Program – every day of the week can be different

The factory setting is a 24-hour program. Any changes are
made with the 3 plastic headers on the back of the unit – simply
pull off the header and replace it in the new position.

1 = 24-hour program.
7 = 7-day program
No header = 5/2-day program.

After wiring, plug in the unit and tighten
the securing screws. Check the mains
input has a 3A fuse, and switch on the
mains.

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS

If the engineer has set your program and timings – you won’t
need to do anything else. Just keep this guide in a safe place
for future reference.

INTRODUCTION

The Lifestyle Timeswitch will automatically control your
system by switching it on and off at times that suit you. The
light on the front of the Timeswitch shows when it’s on.

PREPARING TO PROGRAMME YOUR SYSTEM

As your Timeswitch has a built-in, factory set, clock, there is no
need to set the time. However, should you need to, go to
section “Setting the Clock” Page 12.

If the timings haven’t been set for you, then this is how your
timeswitch has been set at the factory. It’s easy to make
changes. Just go to the section on the program that’s already
been selected – 24-hour, 5/2 day or 7-day – and follow the
simple instructions.

Your timeswitch has been set w

ith these standard times.

set different ON and OFF times.

found under the bottom flap.

You can’t set ON1 as the last timing before midnight, but you

can set OFF3 after midnight – providing it’s not more than 23
hours and 59 minutes after ON1.

You need to set the timings in sequence – i.e. ON1, OFF1,

ON2, OFF2, ON3, OFF3. If you get out of sequence, the display
will flash a warning.
