Installation

  1. Remove lower setting dial. Set all four tappets to top of upper dial. Unscrew 4BA screw and remove outer case.
  2. Slacken two screws securing plug-in module to backplate and separate module from backplate by pulling upwards.
  3. Fix backplate to wall (3 hole fixing).
  4. Referring to wiring diagrams below and opposite make electrical connections as shown (as applicable). The diagrams indicate that terminals 3 and 5 are not internally connected to the programmer and may therefore be used as spare wiring terminals if required.
  5. Ease of installation can be achieved by the use of the Danfoss Randall Wiring Centre which is obtainable from most Builders Merchants and Distributors.
    NOTE: If a Wiring Centre is used follow the installation instructions included with that unit and not the following wiring diagrams.
  6. Secure cable cores under cable clamp.

User Instructions

Your programmer

  • The 3060 programmer allows you to switch your hot water and heating on and off at times that suit you.
  • Four tappets on the timing dial let you decide when you want your hot water and heating to come on and go off each day. The programmer provides 2 ON times and 2 OFF times per day.
  • Using the lower dial you can choose how you control your Heating and Hot Water, either at the set times, constantly ON, constantly OFF (each in different combinations). During the summer the central heating can be turned off, whilst still controlling the hot water at the set times.

Programming the unit
There are four TAPPETS on your timing dial, two red and two blue:

  • the red tappets are the ON switches
  • the blue tappets are the OFF switches
  1. Hold the central black & silver knob with one hand and move the red tappet marked ‘A’ clockwise to the time you want your HEATING/HOT WATER to switch on in the morning.Danfoss-3060-Electro-Mechanical-Programmer-image (4)NB. you may find the tappets quite stiff, so you may have to push them quite firmly to move them.
  2. Still holding the central knob, move the blue tappet marked ‘B’ to the time you want your HEATING/HOT WATER to switch off in the morning.
  3. You can set your other two tappets in the same way to set your HEATING/HOT WATER for the afternoon or evening.

EXAMPLE
(NB. Clock is in 24 hour mode)
If you want your heating and hot water ON between 7am and 10am and ON again between 5pm and 11pm, set tappets as follows:

  • A at 1st ON time = 7
  • B at 1st OFF time = 10
  • C at 2nd ON time = 17
  • D at 2nd OFF time = 23

Setting the Clock
Turn the dial clockwise until the correct time is lined up with the dot labelled TIME

NB. clock is in 24 hour modeDanfoss-3060-Electro-Mechanical-Programmer-image (5)

REMEMBER
You will have to reset the time after a power cut and also when the clocks change in Spring and Autumn

Using the Programmer
The selector switch is used to select how the 3060 controls your hot water and heating. The heating and hot water can be operated together in various combinations, or the water can be controlled on its own (i.e. during the summer when only hot water is required).

There are six positions into which the selector switch may be set.

  1. H OFF / W OFF
    Both Heating and Hot Water will remain OFF until you change the setting.
  2. H TWICE / W TWICE
    In this position the Heating and Hot Water will both come on and go off according to the times you have programmed (ON at A, OFF at B, ON at C, OFF at D).
  3. H ONCE / W ONCE
    This setting overrides tappets B and C, so both Heating and Hot Water will switch ON at the time marked by tappet A and will stay on until the time marked by tappet D. Both services will then switch OFF until ‘A’ the next day.
  4. H ON / W ON
    This is the ‘CONSTANT’ position and the programmer will remain permanently ON for both Heating and Hot Water, irrespective of the position of the tappets.
  5. H TWICE / W ONCE
    In this position the heating will come on and go off according to the times you have programmed (ON at A, OFF at B, ON at C, OFF at D).
    The Hot Water will come on at A and stay on until D.
  6. H OFF / W TWICE
    In this position the Heating will be permanently OFF and the Hot Water will come on and go off according to the times you have programmed (ON at A, OFF at B, ON at C, OFF at D).

Note:
If hot water is required all day with the heating shut off (i.e. heat off, water once)

  • Turn the selector switch to ‘H twice / W once’ and turn down the room thermostat to its lowest setting.
  • If constant hot water is required with heating off (i.e. heat off, water on)
  • Turn the selector switch to ‘ H on / W on’ and turn the room thermostat to its lowest setting.
