Installation

All electrical installation and maintenance must be carried out by a competent person. If in doubt, 

consult a qualified electrician. Any new wiring must be carried out by qualified personnel in 

accordance with the current edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS7671).

!

 

Ensure the electrical supply is isolated before making any connections or adjustments.

!

1.  Prepare a single-gang pattress or back box as necessary.

2.  Rotate the 

Timeout

 thumbwheel (referring to the accompanying label) to set the period 

of time for which the load should remain switched on after a contact closure trigger.

3.  Connect the wiring as shown in Figure 2 (or in any suitably appropriate form).

− 

Supply connections (L, N):

 Use appropriate mains cable to power the unit. If the 

load is also powered via this wiring, ensure the current rating is adequate. Otherwise 

(i.e. if the output is independently powered), low-current cable may be used.

− 

Load connections (LIVE IN, LIVE OUT):

 Use cable rated for the load current and 

voltage.

− 

Remote input connections (V+, R+, R-):

 Low-current cable may be used but 

must 

be rated for mains voltages

. Refer to 

Remote Input Wiring

 for wiring details for 

different input devices.

4.  Fix the unit into position with the two screws and caps supplied. 

Additional Guidelines

• 

The screw caps may be removed at a later date with the aid of an adhesive putty such 

as Blu-Tack.
