5. Installation and Setup
Follow these steps for safe and correct installation:
- Power Disconnection: Before starting any work, ensure the main power supply to the installation is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker. Use a voltage tester to confirm that no power is present.
- Mounting: The 1IT1061 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Snap the device onto the DIN rail within your electrical distribution board. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Wiring: Connect the timer according to the wiring diagram provided on the device or in the full technical manual. Typically, this involves connecting the phase (L) and neutral (N) power supply, and then connecting the switched phase output to the lighting circuit. The timer supports operation with an arbitrary number of illuminated pushbuttons.
- Time Adjustment: Once wired, set the desired lighting duration using the rotary knob on the front of the device. The timer is adjustable from 1 minute to 18 minutes.
- Mode Selection: Use the selector switch to choose between timed operation (lights turn off after the set duration) and continuous light operation (lights remain on until manually switched off or the mode is changed).
- Power Reconnection: After all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the circuit.
- Testing: Test the timer's functionality by activating a pushbutton and observing the light duration.
Note: A detailed wiring diagram is crucial for correct installation. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
6. Operating Instructions
The Perry 1IT1061 staircase timer offers straightforward operation:
- Timed Operation: In this mode, pressing any connected pushbutton will activate the lights for the duration set by the rotary knob (1 to 18 minutes). The lights will automatically switch off after this period.
- Continuous Light Operation: If the selector switch is set to the continuous light position, the lights will remain on indefinitely until the switch is moved back to the timed operation mode or the power is cycled. This is useful for extended periods of illumination.
- Adjusting Time: To change the duration of the timed operation, simply rotate the knob on the front panel to the desired time setting.
7. Maintenance
The Perry 1IT1061 staircase timer requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. This should only be done by a qualified person with the power disconnected.
- No user-serviceable parts are inside the unit.
