liability for resulting damages!
Nor do we assume liability for damage to property or personal injury,
caused by improper use or the failure to observe the safety instructions.
The guarantee will expire in any such case.
Dear customer, the following safety instructions and danger warnings are not only to
protect your well-being but also to protect the device. Please read carefully through the
following points:
• Only people with an appropriate training are entitled to carry out work on
voltage-carrying parts. If you do not have such a training, consult a qualified
skilled person.
• For the connection of the device to the power supply (only 230V~/50Hz) as
well as the load/s, there has to be work carried out on the voltage supply and/
or voltage-carrying parts in operation.
First of all turn off the electrical circuit to which the product is to be included.
The corresponding circuit breaker is to be switched off or the corresponding
fuse is to be removed in the in-house distribution. In addition trigger the
corresponding ground fault circuit interrupter so that the electrical circuit is
completely separated from the power supply.
Make sure that nobody accidently switches on the electrical circuit (safety
warning on the in-house distributor, mechanical block etc.).
Afterwards check the affected electrical circuit whether it is totally voltage
free, eg with a suitable measuring instrument.
The same is the case for a possibly necessary change of fuse!
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible
because of safety and approval reasons (CE). Doing this, the guarantee/
warrantee would also expire.
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children! Children
cannot assess the dangers involved when dealing with electric devices.
6
• The product is only intended for the installation and use in dry indoors, it must
not get damp or wet! This not only presents a risk of destruction of the
product but also a deadly peril through an electric shock!
• The operation of the product is only authorized if it is correctly inserted into
a DIN installation box (55mm) or into a surface frame. The voltage supply
must only be switched on when the control unit is inserted in the base part
and the fixing screw was tightened.
• When the product is brought from a cold into a warm room (eg during
transport) condensation may form. This could damage the product. There is
also the deadly peril of an electric shock!
Wait until the device has reached room temperature before you install and/
or use it. This might take several hours.
• Only use approved installation cables. In stationary installations, flexible
cables are not permitted.
• Use the device only in moderate climate regions and not in tropical climate.
• Never touch the product when your hands are wet. Danger of a lifethreatening electric shock!
• Always only load the device up to the capacity indicated. A capacity overload
may lead to the destruction of the device, a fire or an electrical accident.
Please note the technical specifications in this operating instruction.
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It might become a dangerous
toy for children!
• In industrial facilities, the safety regulations laid down by the professional
trade associations for electrical equipment and facilities must be adhered to.
• If the product is used at schools, training facilities, do-it-yourself and hobby
workshops it should not be handled unless supervised by trained, responsible
personnel.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the mode of operation, safety or
connection of the device.

6. Battery Notes
The digital timer can be equipped with two button cells type ”SR69” . They only serve to save
data (stored programs, time etc.) if there is a power failure.
You can furthermore program the digital timer when the batteries are inserted,
without having to install it tightly first.
Please note the following when handling batteries:
• Keep batteries (and also rechargeable batteries) out of reach of children.
• Make sure to insert the batteries with the correct polarity (the plus side of the battery faces
outward, towards you).
• Do not let batteries lie around openly. There is the risk of batteries being swallowed by
children or pets. In such a case, seek immediate medical care.
• Leaking or damaged batteries might cause acid burns when getting into contact with skin,
therefore use suitable protective gloves.
• Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited or thrown into fire. They might explode!
• Conventional batteries must not be re-charged. They might explode!
• In the case of disuse for a longer period of time (eg storage) take out the inserted batteries.
Doing this, you avoid damages caused by leaking batteries.
• Always exchange the whole set of batteries, use only batteries of the same type/manufacturer.

8. Installation and Connection
Before the installation and use, take note of all safety instructions and installation
notes in this operating instruction.
Only people with an appropriate training are entitled to carry out work on voltagecarrying parts. If you do not have such a training, consult a qualified skilled
person.
Improper works on the voltage supply may lead to a life-threatening electrical
shock. You furthermore not only endanger yourself but also others!
Only use licensed installation cables (rigid cables) for the connection of the
product.
If it is surface wired, appropriate wiring conduits are to be used for the cables.
Doing this, the digital timer has to be installed in a flush mounting box suitable for that purpose.
Alternatively a surface frame (already included in delivery) can be used.
a) Turning the power supply off
First of all turn off the electrical circuit, to which the digital timer is to be included.
The corresponding circuit breaker is to be switched off or the corresponding fuse is to be
removed in the in-house distribution. In addition trigger the corresponding ground fault circuit
interrupter so that the electrical circuit is completely separated from the power supply.
Make sure that nobody accidently switches on the electrical circuit (safety warning on the inhouse distributor, mechanical block etc.).
Afterwards check the affected electrical circuit whether it is totally voltage free, eg with a suitable
measuring instrument.
Only then can further works be carried out!
11
b) Taking off control unit from base part
Lift the lid that is located above the display. Then unscrew the visible cross recess screw which
is located underneath (between the ”P” and ”ON/OFF” buttons, see chapter 7.a, position ”F”)
with a screwdriver suitable for that purpose, until the screw turns freely (for safety reasons, the
screw is installed in a way so that it cannot get lost, it cannot be taken off).
With a screwdriver with a wide, flat tip the control unit can be levered out of its cover. There are
corresponding recesses on the left and right.
Now take the control unit from the base part.
Do not bend the three pins on the bottom. They establish the electrical
connection between the control unit and the base part.
c) Installing surface frame, if so desired
If there is no flush mounting box available, the surface frame is to be screwed to the wall. If
necessary use suitable dowels.
When drilling make sure to be careful not to accidentally damage any power
supply lines, gas or water pipes! Danger!
12
d) Preparing flush mounting box
Normally, the digital timer can be inserted into a normal DIN flush mounting box (diameter
55mm).
If you have to fix the flush mounting box to the wall first, we recommend the use of a ”deep” box
(depth 61mm instead of 41mm). This means there is sufficient space for the laying of the cables
in the flush mounting box.
First of all check whether the digital timer can be inserted in the flush mounting box or whether
screw clamps or cables layed in there prevent inserting.
A new flush mounting box may have to be installed (brick work necessary); of course you can
also use a surface frame.
e) Cabling, connection
As could already seen in chapter 7. c) cabling has to be carried
out as described in the picture on the right. Note the small
imprint next to the screw clamps.
Black

First of all loosen the 3 screws of the screw clamps in the base
part with a suitable screwdriver.
Strip approx. 4mm from the end of the cables.
Insert the cables (pay attention to assignment!) into the screw
clamps and tighten the screws.
Output (L´)
There is no possibility to connect the ground wire to the digital timer (cable
colour: yellow-green). Use the appropriate clamps to connect the cables in the
flush mounting box or in the surface frame.
13
f) Installing base part into a surface frame
• Loosen the two screws on the inside of the base part which connects the masking frame and
base part. Take the masking frame off.
• Now the base part can be inserted in the surface frame and it can be screwed tight (holes
for the screw clamps point downward, fuse holder points towards the left).
Make sure that the base part is located in the dead center of the surface frame.
• Place the masking frame onto the base part and screw it tight with the previously removed
screws.
g) Installing base part into a flush mounting box
As is the case with almost all sockets/switches for flush mounting, there are also two claws on
the side of the digital timer which holds the device in the flush mounted box.
• Insert the base part into the flush mounting box (holes for screw clamps point downwards,
fuse holder points towards the left). Normally the masking frame can stay on the base part,
it does not have to be removed.
• Tighten the two screws of the claws. The recessing of the screws positions the screws and
fixes the base part into the flush mounting box.
14
h) Inserting batteries into the control unit
• Open the battery compartment on the back of the control unit, take off the battery
compartment lid.
• Insert two button cells type ”SR69” with correct polarity. The plus (”+”) pole has to point
outwards towards you each time.
• Close the battery compartment again.
• Check the display. Normally ”24 H” should flash on the display (for the selection between 12
and 24 hour mode).
If necessary press the reset button (”R”), to restart the digital timer. This may be
necessary if there are odd signs on the display or the display ”24 H” is not visible.
The ”R” button is slightly recessed, take eg a toothpick to help you.

• To confirm briefly press the ”SET” button. Afterwards the time display appears (eg 00:00:10).
• If desired you can carry out further settings (see chapter 9) or complete the installation.
i) Inserting control unit into base part and tightening it with
screws
• Insert the control unit with the correct orientation into the base part. Only one orientation is
correct! Push the base part in the snap-on contacts of the masking frame.
Make sure that the three pins on the back of the control unit fit precisely into the
holes of the base part and that they don’t get bend.
• Tighten the screw underneath the front cover (screw between the ”P” and ”ON/OFF” button).
• The digital timer is now ready for programming and operation.

For each program group (1-10) the turn on time (icon ”
(Symbol ” ”) is to be programmed
”) and the turn off time
Otherwise the load (eg a lamp) is switched on at the programmed time, but it is
never switched off.
This is why you should always program the turn on time first (steps 2-7) and
afterwards the turn off time (again steps 2-7) of the program groups selected by
you, note the icon on the right of the display for the turn on and off time.
d) Activating / Deactivation switching programs:
Hold the ”RCL” button down for a longer time in order to activate or deactivate the automatic
switching programs (which you have set in the program groups).
On the right in the display the icon ”
programs are active.
” appears when the automatic switching
If the icon disappears there will be no automatic on/off switching of the
connected load.
e) Countdown setting
In countdown mode (display ”CD” in the lower part of the display) the load stays switched on until
the countdown time set by you (possible setting from ”1 minute” to ”99 hours/59 minutes”) has
run out. Then the load is switched off.
When the countdown mode is selected or started, all automatic switching
programs are deactivated. That means that there is no turning on or off at the
defined times and weekdays in the program groups.
• Press the ”P” button as many times until ”CD” is shown on the display.
• Press the ”SET” button. The hour indicator is flashing.

• The random function can be switched on with the ”ON/OFF” button (display ”ON” in display
or switched off (”OFF”).
• After a little while the time display reappears. When the random function is turned on ”RND”
is flashing on the bottom right in the display.
It is turned on after 18:00 hours (16-24 minutes afterwards).
It is turned off after 06:00:00 hours (24-42 minutes afterwards).
19
g) Manual control
In the normal operating mode (”CLOCK” is shown in the bottom of the display) the load
connected to the digital timer can be switched on or off manually by briefly pressing the ”ON/
OFF” button.
Due to the special design of the cap, it does not need to be opened. A little pin
on the bottom of the cap operates the button directly.
The load stays switched on until the turn off time of an active program group was reached.
Afterwards automatic switching programs take over the control of the load again.
The same is the case if the load was switched off manually. It is activated through an automatic
switching program when the turn on time of an active program group was reached.
h) Activating summertime
• The digital timer has to be in time display. If necessary change the time display by briefly
pressing the ”P” button several times (”CLOCK” will be shown on the display).
 ” and ”
” simultaneously until the symbol ”S” is shown on the display
• Press the two buttons ”
(summertime activated).
• To switch over to standard time, you do the same, the symbol ”S” disappears
i) Reset
If you carry out a reset all data (time, setting of on/off times etc.) gets lost.
• Press the ”R” button with, eg a toothpick All display elements will appear briefly, afterwards
a new programming (see from chapter 9) is necessary.
• The button is slightly recessed in order to protect if from unintended confirmation.
20
10. Fuse Replacement
If there is an overload the integrated fuse is triggered.
Even if the rated load of the load is below the connected load of the digital timer
(max. 690W) this can happen through, eg too high starting currents.
Because of the existing back-up battery the display remains visible. However, the load is no
longer switched on/off.
If the digital timer worked perfectly beforehand, change the integrated fuse.
For this purpose, proceed as follows:
• De-energize the respective circuit. Turn off the circuit breaker and unscrew the fuse.
• Remove a possible overload.
Otherwise there is danger of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Take the control unit from the base part. For this purpose, see chapter 8. b).
• You can carefully lever out the fuse holder with the fuse with a flat screwdriver and then pull
it out.
21
• Check the fuse with eg a measuring instrument.
A broken fuse is normally discoloured black (the evaporated wire gets deposited
on the inside of the glass tube).
• Exchange a broken fuse with a new fuse identical in construction (3.15A, delay fuse, 250V).
Never short-circuit a broken fuse, do not patch it up! Otherwise there is the
danger of a perilous electric shock, furthermore there is the risk of fire and
explosion!
• Insert the fuse holder with the new fuse correctly. Take note of the form of the top of the fuse
holder and the recess on the back of the housing on the base part.
• Insert the control unit into the base part, see chapter 8. i).
• Finally you switch the supply voltage back on.
• Check the function of the digital timer, as a test switch the load on or off with the ”ON/OFF”
button.
• If there is no detectable function check the fuse a second time (proceed as described
above!).
If the fuse was triggered again, the rated load of the load is still too high (or its
starting current) or the digital timer is broken.
22
