1 To programme the controller:-
a Decide what times you would like the

Timecontroller to switch on and off.

b Insert the setting pins into the

programme ring according to your
requirements. To switch ON insert the

pins into the inner circle of holes. To
switch OFF insert the pins into the outer
circle of holes.

Important

The pins should be pushed fully home or

they will catch on the underside of the
protective lobes on the bottom of the
front socket face (see diagram).

2 Check your programme by manually

turning the programme ring clockwise
once through the 24 hour cycle.
Note: When the pins pass over the time
indicator it will require a firm hand.

3 Turn the programme ring clockwise until

the correct time of day is directly above
the time indicator at the top of the front
socket face (see diagram).

4 Plug the Timecontroller into a socket and

switch socket ON if necessary.

5 Plug your appliance into the

Timecontroller and switch the appliance
ON.

6 You can switch your appliance ON and

OFF at any time, by using the small lever
at the side of the Timecontroller
0=OFF, 1=ON. This will self cancel when
the next ON or OFF programme operates.

Points to note

a Each time the Timecontroller has carried

out an automatic switching operation the
manual switch cannot be operated for
about 15 minutes before and after
automatic switching because it is
mechanically locked for this period.

b If required you can programme your

Timecontroller to switch off only by
inserting just a single pin. For many
electrical appliances you can, therefore,
programme for off only to ensure that if
you forget to switch the appliance off
nothing can be damaged or unnecessary
power used. When using this technique
switch on by hand using the self cancelling
override switch.

c The Programme ring can be turned even

when the Timecontroller is operating. In
case of power failiure, please re-adjust the
Timecontroller to the correct time of day,
turning the dial in a clockwise direction.

Important

This Timecontroller is recommended for
general domestic appliances up to 13 amp
resistive or 5 amp inductive rating. Certain
washing machines require the power to be
permanently connected and they cannot be
controlled by the TS800B. This is also true of
tumble dryers with push button start.

Note: Minimum setting interval =
15 minutes.

Minimum ON/OFF time between

5 6

settings = 30 minutes.
