(This Push button and touch timer cannot be used on contactors.
Please use Elkay three wire Master timers
and sensors)
The pushbutton/touch timers are part of the Elkay family of
switches, timers and detectors which save energy and increase
convenience in and around your home, garden or premises.
Usage
The push button/touch timers are general purpose time controls.
Applications for suitable use include lighting and fans with
lighting.The timers can be used independently or as a master unit
when using slave trigger switches. One master product only for
each circuit being switched with additional slave units at other
positions in the circuit.
When used with some low wattage lighting, low voltage
lighting, LED fittings and 2D flouresecents, please ensure
a capacitor of 4 microfarads is fitted at the load across the
switch live and neutral. Only one is required per circuit.
Supplies of suitable Elkay capacitors can be found at your
local stockist (ref PFCC-1).
IMPORTANT Please note that it is essential that the live in and
live out are identified prior to commencing the installation and
steps 1 – 3 are followed precisely. No neutral is required on this
product (See diagram 1). Do not install the switch timer with the
mains power on as this can damage the product.
Do not megger test or insulation resistance test this product.
Remove before testing or test circuit prior to fitting.
Please ensure that when emergency fittings are tested for
3 hr test that battery switch number 4 on the product is
switched off first and switched back on after test.

Slave & Momentary Fitting
When connecting with slaves use three core cable connecting
the live in, live out and trigger terminals as shown in Diagram 2.
The optional wire to the slaves only applies to the 350A and 550A
push button slave units and is ideal for retrofitting (See diagram 2).
Please note that the trigger terminal is the third terminal.
Momentary or activating switches can also be used and can be
connected to the Live In and the Trigger terminal of the master.
This product requires a 24 hour power supply. The battery inside
the unit recharges when the light source or appliance is switched
OFF. Where the supply may be interrupted or isolated regularly we
must recommend our products from the three wire range.
Your Elkay unit is compatible with a single gang, 25mm deep
British Standard accessory plate. Please ensure that the top and
bottom lugs are removed from metal wall boxes prior to fitting. For
16mm boxes Elkay provide a spacer plate (product code 220A-1)
to take box depth to 25mm.

Outdoor Installation
Please note only products in the Elkay energy outdoor range are
suitable for use outdoors. Elkay energy outdoor can only be used
in conjunction with the surface mount box supplied. Take the
surface mount box and remove the knock out section. If required
and to ensure IP66 waterproof rating, please use a suitable M20
cable gland and use appropriate sealing washers. Mount the
surface mount box on a secure surface using the mounting pack
supplied. Place screw cover seals over the mounting screws. It is
essential that the correct IP66 rated connections are made to keep
the IP66 rating of the back box. Steel wire armored connections
without seals are not appropriate.
Turn off mains supply before proceeding with installation - Install
as per previous remote installation instructions - Mount unit
onto surface mount box using the fixing screws at all four corners
ensuring even connection with the seal - Place screw hole seals
over left and right screw cavities - Clip on front fascia plate -
Re-instate mains supply.
