2 Installation
This product must be installed in accordance with the appropriate
Building and Wiring Regulations.
In all cases if there is a doubt as to how to proceed with an
installation consult a qualified electrician, your Local Authority’s
Building Control Department or the Timeguard Helpline
(020 8450 0515).
For the switches the screws holding the case halves together are
located beneath the rocker(s) (front plate switch actuator(s)).
To remove the rocker first press rocker inwards at the blind grommet
end, then, removing hand from there, force fingers as far as possible
between the opposite end of the rocker and the case, pulling the
rocker outwards. The rocker will unclick at it’s pivot point.
If it is not possible to exert enough force by hand, use the
technique shown at the foot of the previous page.
2.1 Cable Entry
Try to avoid siting the units in areas where there is direct sunlight for
any length of time.
Cable entry can be made via conduit into any of the 5 (8 for the
double socket TPS201 and switch socket TP203) knock outs on the
top, bottom, sides or back of the back box. In all cases ensure there
is a drain hole at the lowest point in the attached conduit system.
The knock out outline should be heavily scored with a sharp knife
before tapping out.
The appropriate sealing washers for the conduit in use must be
used to maintain the IP rating. The use of any knock outs apart
from the one(s) at the bottom requires that the lower drain hole(s)
on the back box is opened and the IP rating may well be reduced.
The blind grommets may be used for cable entry at the bottom
20mm hole(s). They must not be used in any other position
(including the rear) or the IP rating may be severely prejudiced.
The blind grommets should be pierced centrally to give an
undersize hole of a similar shape to the cable cross section.
2.2 Fixing Back Box
Drill 2 holes (4 for the double socket TPS201 and switch and socket
TP203) according to the dimensions given on the rear of the back
box. Fix with round head no. 8 woodscrews or equivalent using
wall plugs if necessary. The length of the screw will depend on the
surface being fixed to, for example fixing to roughcast would
require a longer screw than fixing to brickwork.
2.3 Connecting Cables
Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the socket(s) or switches
but not too much to make it difficult to close the front plate onto
the back box.

2.3.1 Sockets
In spur configuration we recommend feed cable of 1.5 sq. mm for
the single socket and 2.5 sq. mm for the double socket. If the unit is
to form part of a ring then incoming and outgoing cables must
both be 2.5 sq. mm (with the double socket we recommend that
the incoming and outgoing cables can be connected to one socket
each with a 2.5 sq. mm bridging cable between the two sockets.
Use back box earthing terminals to maintain earth continuity where
required.
With the TP203 switch and socket the double pole switch may be used
independently from the socket for switching e.g. lighting, or it may be
used to switch the live or live and neutral supply to the socket outlet.
2.3.2 Switches
These switches are not suitable for intermediate use in three way
(and above) systems. Wiring to the switches would normally be in 1
sq. mm or 1.5 sq. mm for heavier loads.
Use back box earthing terminals to maintain earth continuity where
required.

This has two ON/OFF isolated switches controlled by a single rocker

or can be wired to switch live only for two circuits (where the total
load exceeds 20A) or can provide totally independent control of two
circuits (albeit simultaneously).
