to wiring and current building regulations.
Please read the instructions carefully. If in
any doubt contact the Timeguard Helpline.

Important: Switch off mains electricity
before commencing work.

Remove the two bezel fixing screws, and remove
bezel from timer module and back plate. Separate
the timer module from the back plate, and remove
the wall fixing screws.

Ensuring that the free terminals on the back plate
are at the top, connect the installation wiring to
the terminal block, according to the legend on the
wiring label.

The earth wires should be connected to the wall
box earthing terminal, or should be connected
together using a single way connector block if
there is no suitable earth terminal in the back box.

4. Battery:

The time switch has a factory fitted rechargeable
battery to give clock operation and programme
memory back up during loss of mains supply.

Before programming for the first time, connect the
unit to the mains for at least 15 minutes prior to
pressing the Rst button and programming the unit.

If the display is not visible or very faint, charge for
4 hours prior to pressing Rst and programming.

Fit the wall mounting screws through the back plate
into the wall box threaded holes, and tighten until
the back plate is firmly fastened.

Fit the timer module to the back plate, ensuring
the power output indicator is on the top, and the
locating holes on the timer are set correctly on the
pegs on the back plate. Fit the bezel over the timer
module, and secure to the back plate with the two
screws provided.

For other wiring, the terminals are marked as follows:

L Live supply
N Neutral supply
N OUT Neutral output to immersion heater

(NTT03 only).

SL Switch live output to immersion heater

(NTT03 only).

S in Live Input for volt free output

(NTT04 only) If volt free is not required,
fit a link between L and S in.

S OUT Switch live output to heater or other

appliance (NTT04 only).

Note: this device needs to be left to charge for
a minimum of 15 minutes once powered up,
before it will operate.

The NTT03/04 has 4 independent ON/OFF periods
available for programming each day. There is a choice
of programming options, including 7 days the same

same, and the two weekend days are the same),
and 7 individual days.

Press and hold the Prg button for
3 seconds. Whilst holding, the word
Hold should show on the display.

After 3 seconds, the mode screen
will show.

Use Adv/Ovr or Boost to change the day grouping
mode. This will step through the following options:

24hr – Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su

5 day – Mo Tu We Th Fr followed automatically in
programming by 2 day – Sa Su.

Individual day – Mo followed automatically in
programming by each of the other days.

Once the desired day grouping is
selected, press Prg to move onto
programming ON/OFF times.
The display will show Prog 1, with
dashes for the hours and minutes.

Example shown is for 5 + 2 programme.

Use Adv/Ovr or Boost to set the hour for the first ON
period. Press Prg to change to setting the minutes.

programme 3 ON, programme

adding in times as required.

If times are not required, just leave the dashes in
place, and scroll past that programme.

After programme 4 has been entered, the day will
index to the next day to be programmed, or in the
case of 5 + 2 it will change to Sa Su. Programme the
ON/OFF times as before.

After the last off time for programme 4 has been set,
press Prg to exit programme mode.

At any stage in programming, if the
Prg button is pressed and held for
3 seconds, the timer will return to
operating mode.

The display will now show:

Where the day and time are correct,
but the ON/OFF indicator may not reflect the current
programme accurately, in which case press the Adv
button to correct the indicator.

In the same way as for individual programmes, days
or groups of days can be omitted either by leaving
dashes in all the locations for ON/OFF times for
that day or group of days. Alternatively, leaving the
programme entry mode before filling in all the
ON/OFF times will leave the remaining times blank.

The only way to re-enter a blank time is to reset
the unit.

We Th Fr. Either accept this, press Prg, and review the
times programmed for this mode by pressing Prg,
or press Adv/Ovr or Boost to change the mode, and
then press Prg to review the times. In this case, either

The same applies for changing from any other mode,
changing from the mode it was last programmed in
may blank the previous programme.

to the next change. If the output is OFF, it will change
the output to ON, until the next programmed OFF
time. If the output is ON, it will change the output to
OFF, until the next programmed on time.

A second push of the Adv/Ovr button selects a
