This product conforms to EU Directive 2002/96/EC.
This appliance bears the symbol of the crossed waste bin. This indicates that, at the end of its useful life, it must not be disposed of
as domestic waste, but must be taken to a collection centre for waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is the user's
responsibility to dispose of this appliance through the appropriate channels. Failure to do so may incur penalties established by
laws governing waste disposal.
5. Connect wiring as shown in diagram.
6. Do NOT use power tools to tighten up the terminal screws but ensure the screws
are correctly tightened before replacing the lid.
7. Supply and output are 230V 50Hz and output is rated 6 kW maximum.
8. Adjust the time knob to give required on time.
Please note:- On this model minimum
“ON” time is 5 minutes so if timer is turned
fully
down “ON” period will still be 5 minutes.
9.
If flexible cable from lid needs re-connecting, ensure plug is the correct way
around and push into the socket on the circuit board.
10.
Fit cover securely ensuring flexible cable from lid does not sit on triac (metal
topped component on printed circuit board in base) as this can get hot. (See
picture on previous page)

To Turn on
Unit is activated by pressing the button in the centre of the front cover. The disc around the button will be illuminated while the heater is switched on.
The time on period can only be reset by re-pressing the button during the last minute of operation shown by the button flashing on and off.
The time period cannot be reset or increased at any other time during operation.
To Turn off
Unit can be turned off while operating by holding the switch in for 3 seconds.
Adjusting time
“ON” – Only to be performed by qualified electrician
1. Isolate Timer from the mains supply.
2. Remove the front cover and rotate potentiometer to the required time.
3. Replace the front cover.
Warning - Do not remove cover unless the unit is completely isolated from the mains supply.

You can add a 24 hour time switch, 7 day time switch and / or a thermostat to the soft start timer.
Typical use of thermostat could be to disable the heater from working if ambient temperature was above the set point.
7
day timer could be used to stop the heater being used “out of hours”.
Warning: -
If adding other controllers that will be positioned outside, please make sure they are suitably IP rated for their application.
Warning: -
These added controllers
HAVE
to be zero-volt timers or thermostat (also known as volt free, meaning that the relays or switch inside the
added controllers must not give out 230v). Please check in controller
’s instructions as you are not covered by the guarantee should you connect
230V to the soft start timer control circuit.
To connect the controllers, remove the link wire between the two internal green terminals (located just above the time
“ON” set wheel). Add the
controllers in series. There is only 5V DC on this link and no current.
Once the additional controllers are connected a complete circuit must be allowed for the soft start timers on/off switch to operate.
Please note
that should the remote 7 day timer or thermostat send a “switch off” signal to the soft start timer while the heaters are energised, the
soft start timer will continue to time down to zero but once the heaters go off they will not be able to restart until the remote 7 day timer or thermostat
allow it.

There are two safety features built into the soft start timer.
1) If the front switch is held in when the mains power is turned on the timer goes into a safety fault function mode and will not operate. This
mode is indicated by the indicator around the switch flashing on and off. Whilst the light is flashing the timer will not start. To reset this safety
feature, turn the mains power off, release the on / off button and then turn the mains power on again.
2)
If the timer is turned on and off 5 times in quick succession the light will start flashing and a time delay of 30 seconds will be applied until the
timer can be turned on again. This should not occur with normal use but is built in to protect the PCB.
