The TS-7 soft start electronic waterproof timer is designed to save energy by switching off the heater automatically when the area is unoccupied.
“Soft starting” incorporated in the timer, prolongs the life of your infrared lamps it also reduces the stress on the mains supply and false tripping of
MCB’s due to inrush currents. This product needs a minimum total load of 250W to operate and it cannot be used to switch loads below this.
The timer must NOT be used as a safe way of isolating heaters from the mains supply and additional isolation must be used. If mounted on
collapsible parasols ensure you isolate the power supply going to the timer and allow the heaters to cool before folding up the parasol.

1. Remove front cover by undoing four corner screws. Remove lid
with care as there is a flexible cable link between the switch and
circuit board.
2. Do not hang the lid by the flexible cable. To remove the lid from
the back box disconnect the plug from the circuit board by gently
pulling the white plug towards you.
3. Use the 4 holes in the corners to attach the controller to a suitable
surface as these will maintain the IP65 rating.
4. Drill box to accept cable glands. We supply 2 x M20 cable glands
with each controller these require a 20mm hole to be drilled for
them. If you have to drill additional holes remember to waterproof
these holes or use suitable IP rated cable glands to maintain the
IP65 waterproof rating.
