Description of function
The “thermio™ eco C1B” and “thermio™ eco C7SB”
multi-tariff timers are programmable timers with a fuseprotected, two-pole on/off switch. Switching times can
be programmed for both devices, during which connected loads are supplied with power.
In addition, the devices have an
[ADV]
button and a
[BOOST]
button. These buttons can be used to change
the current state of the device, regardless of the programming, or to activate the device for a specific time.

Operation
Programming the switching times
The “thermio™ eco C7SB” multi-tariff timer has four
independently programmable time slots (ON/OFF) per
day. The days of the week can either be grouped
together or programmed individually; you have a choice
of three modes:
• All 7 days of the week with identical settings: Mo
Tu We Th Fr Sa Su
• 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days (5 + 2) with different settings for each: Mo Tu We Th Fr and
Sa Su
