contact our technical service or another specialist.
Preparations for installation
• Choose a suitable place for installation. This place should be chosen so that no
lamps are in close proximity (e.g. street light, front door light) as these may lead to
faulty activation.
• Install the twilight switch on a vertical, stable wall.
• The twilight switch must only be installed when the mains voltage is switched off.
Turn off the mains supply by switching off the appropriate circuit breaker or by
pulling out the fuse. Secure it against unauthorised reconnection, e.g. with a danger
sign.
Furthermore, turn off the earth leakage circuit breaker to disconnect all the poles
from the mains voltage.
• Check the mains connection for absence of voltage using a suitable meter.
Installation and connection
Please refer to the section “Safety instructions” and “Preparations for in-
stallation”.
• First open the casing of the twilight switch by unscrewing the 4 cross-headed
screws at the front until the front lid can be removed. Due to safety reasons, the
front lid is connected to the bottom part via a plastic cord.
