What is a programmer?

...an explanation for householders

Programmers allow you to set ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time
periods. Some models switch the central heating
and domestic hot water on and off at the same
time, while others allow the domestic hot water
and heating to come on and go off
at different times.

Set the ‘On’ and ‘Off’ time periods to suit your
own lifestyle. On some programmers you must
also set whether you want the heating and
hot water to run continuously, run under
the chosen ‘On’ and ‘Off’ heating periods,
or be permanently off.

The time on the programmer must be correct.
Some types

have to be adjusted in spring and
autumn at the changes between Greenwich
Mean Time and British Summer Time.

You may be able to temporarily adjust the
heating programme, for example, ‘Override’,
‘Advance’ or ‘Boost’. These are explained in the
manufacturer’s instructions.

The heating will not work if the room thermostat
has switched the heating off. And, if you have a
hot-water cylinder, the water heating will not
work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the
hot water has reached the correct temperature.

TRT products are a cost effective comprehensive
range of thermostats and timers designed for
internal use only.

The TRT034 is a single channel programmer,
with automatic summer/winter time changeover
(which can be cancelled), 5 day plus 2 or 7
(individual) day programming with 3 on and
off operations per day, holiday mode, boost
function, advance to next programme and
permanent on/off over ride.

The unit is fitted with a factory installed
battery which gives up to 24 hours back up
of time, date and programmes in the event
of a mains failure.

It is designed to be surface mounted on its
supplied wall plate.

The electrical supply must be isolated before
removing the thermostat from the wall plate.

2. Siting

The TRT034 should be located at a position
which eases wiring runs and gives good access
for programming. It should be mounted
approximately 1.5m above floor level.

3. Installation

Pass incoming wires through opening in wall
plate, and fix wall plate securely to the wall,
using screws provided (and wall plugs if
necessary). The screws which hold the product
to the wall plate should point downwards.

Allow sufficient excess cable to wire up the unit,
but not too much to make it difficult to close
the unit to the wall plate.

Connect the conductors to the relevant terminal,
according to the wiring diagram on the wall
plate (or below). Ensure that the curved brass
washer grips the conductor.

This product should be installed by a qualified
installer to current installation standards.
If in any doubt contact the Timeguard Helpline
020 8450 0515.

Always isolate the mains supply before
removing the unit from its wall plate.

The TRT034 is designed to be surface mounted
on the supplied wall plate.

Isolate 230VAC mains supply.

Incoming and outgoing cable should be 1.5mm sq.

Remove wall plate from unit, by undoing
retaining screws, and pivoting the bottom of the
unit outwards. The unit can then be lifted off.

This unit is double insulated, and hence does
not need connection to earth. If earth continuity
is required, please use earth terminal on wall plate.

To reinstall the unit on the wall plate hook the top
of the unit over the retaining tabs, and push firmly
back. There will be some resistance from the terminals.
Once in place, secure with the retaining screws.

Restore mains to the unit after checking all system
wiring is complete.

Operation

Decide whether weekday/weekend (5-2) or
individual (7) day programming is required, and move
the jumper on the rear of the product (see Fig. 2).

It is important to make this decision first, as after
any change of jumper position, reset needs to be
pressed, which will return the unit to default time
and programme.

Reset

When programming a new unit or one that has
been disconnected from the mains for more than
24 hours, open the program access flap and press
the reset button (see Fig. 1a) using a pen or
similar implement which will clear the memory.

All of the screen segments will show briefly, and
then the default programme will be displayed.
