6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Replacement (TM929AKL 16A only)
The TM929AKL (16A) model uses a replaceable CR2032 battery. If the display becomes dim or the time settings are lost frequently during power outages, the battery may need replacement. Carefully open the battery compartment and replace the CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity. The TM929BKL (30A) model has a non-replaceable internal battery.
6.2 General Care
Keep the device clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the protective cover is closed to prevent dust and moisture ingress.
7. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank: Check the main power supply. For the 16A model, check the CR2032 battery.
- Timer not switching: Verify wiring connections are secure and correct. Ensure the timer is in 'AUTO' mode. Check that programs are set correctly and not conflicting.
- Incorrect time: Reset the timer using the 'Res' button and reprogram the current time.
- Programs not executing: Ensure the timer is in 'AUTO' mode. Check that the ON/OFF times and days are correctly set.
7.1 Resetting the Timer
To perform a full reset, press the 'Res' button (usually a small recessed button requiring a pointed object like a pen tip). This will clear all settings and return the timer to its factory default state. You will need to reprogram the current time and all desired ON/OFF cycles.
8. User Tips
- For precise control, utilize the full capacity of 96 ON/OFF programs to manage complex schedules.
- When setting intervals, remember the minimum programmable interval is 15 minutes.
- Always double-check your wiring before applying power to prevent damage to the unit or connected appliances.
