4. Setup
4.1. Installation and Wiring
The ESRD-TPD2 is designed for DIN rail mounting. Ensure power is disconnected before proceeding.
- Mount the time switch securely onto a standard DIN rail.
- Power Supply (A1, A2): Connect the main power supply (24-264V~ 50/60Hz) to terminals A1 and A2.
- Channel 1 (C1) Wiring:
- Connect the common wire for Channel 1 to terminal 18.
- For Normally Open (NO) operation, connect the load to terminal 16.
- For Normally Closed (NC) operation, connect the load to terminal 15.
- Channel 2 (C2) Wiring:
- Connect the common wire for Channel 2 to terminal 28.
- For Normally Open (NO) operation, connect the load to terminal 26.
- For Normally Closed (NC) operation, connect the load to terminal 25.
- Double-check all connections for tightness and correctness.
4.2. Initial Power-up and Basic Settings
After wiring, restore power to the device. The display should illuminate.
- Set Current Time and Date: Press the MENU button to enter the main menu.
- Navigate using the Up/Down arrow buttons to find the 'Time' or 'Date' setting.
- Press OK to select, then use Up/Down to adjust values (year, month, day, hour, minute).
- Press OK to confirm each setting.
- Press MENU repeatedly to exit the menu and return to the main display.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Programming Weekly Schedules
The ESRD-TPD2 allows for multiple ON/OFF programs for each channel over a 7-day week.
- Press the MENU button.
- Navigate to 'Program' or 'P' using the Up/Down arrows and press OK.
- Select the desired channel (C1 or C2) to program and press OK.
- Choose a program number (e.g., 1 ON, 1 OFF) and press OK.
- Set the desired day(s) of the week for this program. You can select individual days, weekdays, weekends, or all days. Press OK.
- Set the ON time (hour and minute) for the program and press OK.
- Set the OFF time (hour and minute) for the program and press OK.
- Repeat steps 4-7 for additional ON/OFF programs for the same channel or switch to the other channel.
- Press MENU repeatedly to save and exit the programming mode.
5.2. Manual Override
To temporarily override the programmed schedule for a channel:
- From the main display, press the Up or Down arrow button. This typically cycles through manual modes (e.g., ON, OFF, AUTO) for the active channel.
- Select the desired manual state (e.g., permanently ON, permanently OFF) for the channel. The display will indicate the current manual status.
- To return to automatic operation, cycle through the manual modes until 'AUTO' or the scheduled state is displayed.
6. Maintenance
The ESRD-TPD2 is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or liquids.
- Internal Battery: The device contains an internal battery to retain programmed settings during power outages. This battery is not user-replaceable and typically has a long lifespan. If the display is blank or settings are lost frequently after power interruptions, the internal battery may need professional servicing.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank | No power supply; Internal battery depleted (after long storage) | Check power connections to A1/A2. Ensure power is restored. If recently installed, allow time for internal battery to charge. |
| Time/Date is incorrect | Not set correctly; Power interruption (if internal battery is weak) | Re-set the current time and date as per Section 4.2. |
| Channels not switching as programmed | Incorrect programming; Manual override active; Wiring error | Verify program settings (ON/OFF times, days). Check if manual override is engaged (return to AUTO mode). Inspect wiring for C1/C2. |
| Device does not respond to button presses | Temporary software glitch | Disconnect power for a few minutes, then restore. If problem persists, contact support. |
