4. Installation

Note : The installation of this electronic time delay switch should be protected by a suitable fuse or breaker of up to 13A rating.

• Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• Connect the incoming 230V 50Hz supply and outgoing load cables to the relevant terminals ensuring correct polarity is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved (see section 5. Connection Diagram).
• A front cable exit cut-out is provided with a pre-installed removable cover.
• If the front exiting cable cut-out is required:

1. Undo the 2 fixing screws and remove the blanking plate (you can discard the blanking plate at this stage but keep the 2 fixing screws).
2. Remove the cable grip from the accessory pack.
3. Using the 2 fixing screws previously removed from the blanking plate, secure the load cable to the unit. Select ON/OFF for the boost button backlight:
ON – Always ON
OFF- Always OFF

• Finally secure the unit to the backbox with the fixing screws provided, forming the cables during installation to avoid any entrapment and cable damage.

Operation

•  The required boost time is selected by pressing the button marked boost, repeatedly. The digital display will show the selected boost period in 15-minute increments.

• The digital display (above the Boost button) will light up and display the time selected:
  The first push gives 15 minutes boost
  The second push gives 30 minutes boost
  The third push gives 45 minutes boost
  The fourth push gives 1-hour boost
  Subsequent pushes of the boost button will increase the time in 15-minute increments.
  Pressing and holding the boost button will increase the time in 1-hour increments.
  Once the maximum rated time of the timer is reached (2 or 4 hours) pushing the boost button again will revert the timer to OFF with the display showing “Boost  OFF”.

• Once the desired boost time is showing in the display and after approximately 4 seconds of the boost button not being pressed again the connected device to the timer will be switched ON and the display will change to show “Boost ON” and the time remaining.

Note : The TGBD2 (2 Hour Version) gives 15-minute increments and the TGBD4 (4 Hour Version) gives 30-minute increments

Stopping or Increasing Boost

• Once the boost timer is ON and has started to count down it can be stopped at any time by pressing the boost button once. The connected device will be switched OFF immediately.
• The Boost period cannot be increased once the count downtime has started and the display is showing “Boost ON”

LED Backlight Display & Boost Button

• The boost button backlight can be changed to – Permanently ON or Permanently OFF. (Please see section 4)
• The Display backlight will only illuminate once the boost button has been pressed and during the boost ON period.
