programme ring represent the days of the
week 1-Monday, 7-Sunday. Each of the
numbers is repeated, the first number going

Carry out A to D (apart from applying power) and then complete E, F and G as follows:­E Omitting days and/or half days is done by turning segments on the outer (7 day) programme

ring anticlockwise through 90° from their 24 hour operation position. One at the beginning
and one at the end of the period to be omitted.

As an example the period to be omitted is the whole of Saturday and Sunday. Turn the blue

segment between the numbers 5 and 6 on the 7 day programme ring anticlockwise so that its
screwdriver slot points in towards the centre of the programme ring and repeat this for the
blue segment between the numbers 1 and 7 (see fig. 6).

F Rotate the 24 hour programme ring clockwise until the correct time and day is set for the

example shown – day 7 (Sunday), time 12-00 midday. This may take several turns of the ring.
Note:- The time marker also acts as a day marker for the 7 day programme ring.

G Turn the blue 7 day control clockwise to align its slot with either dot (

for OFF) since, for the

•

example shown, the 7 day programme ring is within an omit (OFF) period (see fig. 5). Wire up
(see main instructions) and apply power to the timeswitch. It is now operational.
