• Terminal 4: Normally Open (NO) output.
• Terminal 5: Normally Closed (NC) output.

Connect the load to terminals 3 and 4 for normally open operation (load turns ON when timer activates) or to terminals 3 and 5 for normally closed operation (load turns OFF when timer activates).

5. Initial Setup

5.1 Resetting the Device

Upon first use or after a prolonged power outage, it is recommended to reset the device. Locate the 'C/R' (Cancel/Reset) button. Press this button four times consecutively to unlock the buttons and reset the timer to its default state. This clears all previous settings.

5.2 Setting Current Time and Day

1. Press the 'CLOCK' button.
2. While holding 'CLOCK', press the 'WEEK' button to set the current day of the week.
3. While holding 'CLOCK', press the 'HOUR' button to set the current hour.
4. While holding 'CLOCK', press the 'MINUTE' button to set the current minute.
5. Release the 'CLOCK' button. The current time and day are now set.

6. Programming Operations

The THC30A allows for up to 16 ON/OFF programs. Each program consists of an ON time and an OFF time.

1. Press the 'PROG' button once. The display will show '1 ON'.
2. Press 'WEEK' to select the day(s) for this program (e.g., MO, TU, WE, TH, FR, SA, SU, or various combinations like MO-FR, SA-SU, MO-SA, etc.).
3. Press 'HOUR' to set the desired ON hour.
4. Press 'MINUTE' to set the desired ON minute.
5. Press 'PROG' again. The display will show '1 OFF'.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 to set the desired OFF time for the first program.
7. Continue pressing 'PROG' to cycle through '2 ON', '2 OFF', up to '16 ON', '16 OFF', setting each program as needed.
8. After setting all desired programs, press the 'CLOCK' button to exit programming mode and return to the current time display.

Note: If no button is pressed for 10 seconds during programming, the timer will automatically exit programming mode.

7. Operating Modes

The timer switch has three operating modes: AUTO ON, AUTO OFF, and MANUAL.

• AUTO ON: The timer will automatically turn ON the connected device at the programmed ON times and turn it OFF at the programmed OFF times. The device is currently ON.
• AUTO OFF: The timer will automatically turn ON the connected device at the programmed ON times and turn it OFF at the programmed OFF times. The device is currently OFF.
• MANUAL: The timer will ignore all programmed schedules and remain in its current state (ON or OFF) until manually changed.

To change the operating mode, press the 'MANUAL' button repeatedly until the desired mode (AUTO ON, AUTO OFF, or MANUAL) is displayed.

8. Maintenance

The YWBL-WH THC30A timer switch requires minimal maintenance. The built-in rechargeable lithium battery ensures that your programmed settings are retained even during power interruptions. This battery charges automatically when the device is powered.

Keep the device clean and free from dust. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure proper ventilation around the device to prevent overheating.

9. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Device not turning ON/OFF at programmed times:
  • Check if the timer is in 'AUTO ON' or 'AUTO OFF' mode. If it's in 'MANUAL' mode, it will not follow programs.
  • Verify that the current time and day are set correctly.
  • Review your programmed ON/OFF times for accuracy. Ensure there are no conflicting programs.
  • Confirm that the power supply to the timer is stable.
• Display is blank or unresponsive:
  • Check the main power supply to the timer.
  • Perform a full reset by pressing the 'C/R' button four times.
  • Allow the internal battery to charge for a few hours if the device has been unpowered for a long time.
• Difficulty programming or buttons not responding:
  • Ensure the buttons are unlocked by pressing 'C/R' four times.
  • Some buttons may require a firm press due to their capacitive nature.
• Load not receiving power:
  • Check all wiring connections, especially to the load terminals (3, 4, 5).
  • Verify that the load itself is functional.
  • Ensure the timer is in an 'ON' state (either AUTO ON or MANUAL ON) when the load is expected to be active.
