SINOTIMER TM613 380V Three-Phase Digital Programmable Timer Switch User Manual

1. Introduction

The SINOTIMER TM613 is a stable, high-performance three-phase digital programmable timer switch designed for 7-day, 24-hour operation. This device features three FireWire inputs and three FireWire outputs, eliminating the need for a zero line, which can be convenient for certain installations. It allows for a total of 28 ON/OFF programs to be set from Monday to Sunday, with a minimum interval of one minute and a maximum of 168 hours (equivalent to one week). The timer supports temporary manual override while maintaining its programmed loop.

It is widely used in various applications such as controlling pumps, pond aerators, steaming machines, water heaters, billboards, neon signs, and exhaust fans. The TM613 is suitable for three-phase 350V-420VAC motors and other equipment, providing unmanned management with safe, reliable, and stable performance.

2. Safety Information

• Electrical Hazard: Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Ensure power is disconnected before any wiring or service.
• Voltage Compatibility: This device is designed for 350-420VAC three-phase systems. Do not connect to single-phase or voltages outside this range.
• Current Rating: The maximum current per phase is 16A. Do not exceed this rating to prevent damage or fire.
• Proper Grounding: Ensure proper grounding according to local electrical codes.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid installing in areas with excessive moisture, dust, or extreme temperatures.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Setup and Unlocking

Upon initial power-up or after a reset, the display may be locked. To unlock the device, press the 'Clock' button 4 times consecutively.

5.2 Setting Current Time

1. Press the 'Clock' button.
2. Use 'Week', 'Hour', and 'Minute' buttons to set the current day, hour, and minute.
3. Press 'Clock' again to save and exit.

5.3 Programming ON/OFF Cycles

The TM613 supports up to 28 ON/OFF programs. Follow these steps to set your desired schedule:

1. Press the 'Program' button to enter programming mode. The display will show '1 ON'.
2. Use 'Hour' and 'Minute' buttons to set the desired ON time for the first program.
3. Press 'Week' to select the day(s) for this program (e.g., MO-FR, SA-SU, MO-SU, etc. If the same everyday, no need to press this key).
4. Press 'Program' again. The display will show '1 OFF'.
5. Use 'Hour' and 'Minute' buttons to set the desired OFF time for the first program.
6. Press 'Week' to select the day(s) for this program (if different from ON time, or if same everyday, no need to press this key).
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for programs 2 through 28.
8. Press the 'C/R' button to save all programs and exit programming mode.

5.4 Manual Override

The 'Manual' button allows you to temporarily override the programmed schedule. Pressing it cycles through ON, AUTO, and OFF modes:

• ON: The output is continuously ON, regardless of programs.
• AUTO: The output follows the programmed schedule.
• OFF: The output is continuously OFF, regardless of programs.

When in ON or OFF manual mode, the timer will remain in that state until manually changed or a program triggers a state change if it's set to AUTO.

5.5 Locking the Device

To prevent accidental changes to settings, you can lock the device by pressing the 'Clock' button 4 times consecutively.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Backup

The TM613 includes a built-in battery backup to retain programmed settings during power outages. No user maintenance is typically required for the internal battery.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or display.

7. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank: Check power supply connections. Ensure the device is receiving 350-420VAC three-phase power.
• Device not responding to button presses: The device might be locked. Press the 'Clock' button 4 times to unlock it.
• Programs not executing: Ensure the current time is set correctly. Verify that the device is in 'AUTO' mode (not ON or OFF manual override). Double-check your programmed ON/OFF times and selected days.
• Output not switching: Check wiring connections to the load. Ensure the load itself is functional.
• Motor/device damage concerns: This timer switch controls power ON/OFF. It does not inherently provide phase loss protection. For critical applications where phase loss could damage equipment, consider installing an external phase failure relay in conjunction with this timer.

8. Specifications

9. User Tips

• Voltage Check: This device is specifically for 380V three-phase systems. If you require a 220V device, ensure you purchase the correct model, as this unit is not compatible with 220V.
• Phase Loss Protection: While the timer provides stable performance, for applications where motor damage from phase loss is a concern, consider integrating an external phase failure protection relay into your system.
