It also provides a view of the side profile, which can be helpful for understanding its physical dimensions and how it integrates into a wall box.
2. Electrical Connection
Before making any electrical connections, ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker. Connect the timer according to the wiring diagram provided with the product packaging. Typically, this involves connecting the phase (L), neutral (N), and the two motor control wires (Up and Down) for the roller shutter.
Important: Incorrect wiring can damage the device or the roller shutter motor. If unsure, consult a professional electrician.
Operating Instructions
Setting the Current Time
Gently rotate the central dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the small arrow indicator at the top of the timer (between 24 and 1). The dial represents a 24-hour cycle.
Programming Open/Close Times
The dial has small segments around its circumference. Each segment typically represents a specific time interval (e.g., 15 minutes). To program an action (open or close), push the corresponding segments outwards for the desired duration. When the dial rotates to these pushed-out segments, the roller shutter will activate.
- To Open: Push out segments corresponding to the desired opening time.
- To Close: Push out segments corresponding to the desired closing time.
Note: The device operates mechanically. Ensure the segments are fully pushed out or in for reliable operation. Avoid turning the dial manually while the roller shutter is in motion, as indicated by the warning on the dial itself.
Manual Override
The timer features a manual override switch, usually located on the right side of the device. This switch allows you to temporarily override the programmed settings to manually open, close, or stop the roller shutter. The positions are typically: Up (Open), Middle (Stop), Down (Close).
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the timer. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check the device for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The internal mechanism is not designed for user maintenance.
