Installation Instructions
This Timerstat should only be wired by a ‘Part P’ qualified Electrician as required by IEE regulations. The power supply must be on an RCD protected circuit and connected via a correctly fused switched fused spur isolator. Guarantee is void if these provisions are not followed.
Before connecting, please test the resistance of the heating cable/s against the values shown in the relevant installation manual to make sure the cable hasn’t been damaged. Also test between live/earth and neutral/earth for a zero reading. Check the floor probe resistance is in the range of 10K Ohms The ET-81 timerstat should be mounted using an 86x86x35mm deep wall box. Loosen the silver fixing screw on the bottom of the timerstat and separate the front from the back.
Wire the timerstat back section as the above diagram. A maximum of 2 heating cables will go into the wire connectors. More than this should be connected into a junction box with a single correctly sized wire to the timerstat. Main’s earth and heating cable earth should be connected behind the timerstat using a block connector. Don’t forget to connect the floor probe (not polarised) otherwise the timerstat will not work properly. Reassemble the front to the back and ensure the pins are located in the socket on the back otherwise it will not work and tighten up the silver screw.
