Usage

The Pushbutton/Touch Timers are general purpose
time controls. Applications for suitable use include
lighting and fans with lighting. The Timers can be
used independently or as a master unit when using
Activator trigger switches. One master product only
for each circuit being switched with additional
Activator units at other positions where multiple
switches are required.
When used with some low wattage lighting, low
voltage lighting, LED fittings and 2D fluorescents,
please ensure a capacitor of 4 microfarads is
fitted at the load across the switch live and neutral.
Only one is required per circuit (Part no. PFCC-1).
IMPORTANT: Please note that it is essential that
the Live In and Live Out are identified prior to
commencing the installation and steps 1-3 are
followed precisely. No neutral is required on this
product (See diagram 1). Do not install the
switch timer with the mains power on as this
can damage the product.
Do not megger test or insulation resistance test
this product. Remove before testing or test circuit
prior to fitting.

Activator and Momentary Fitting

When connecting with Activators use three core cable
connecting the Live In, Live Out and Trigger terminals
as shown in diagram 2. The optional wire to the Activators
only applies to the 350A-1 Pushbutton Activator units
and is ideal for retrofitting (See diagram 2).
Please note that the Trigger terminal is the third terminal.
Momentary or activating switches can also be used
and can be connected back to the Live In and the Trigger
terminal on the master.
This product requires a 24 hour power supply. The battery
inside the unit recharges when the light source or
appliance is switched OFF. Where the supply may be
interrupted or isolated regularly we must recommend
our products from the three wire range.
Your Elkay unit compatible with a single gang, 25mm
deep British Standard accessory plate. Please ensure
that the top and bottom lugs are removed from metal
wall boxes prior to fitting. For 16mm boxes Elkay
provide a spacer plate (Product no. 220A-1) to take
box depth to 25mm.

Installation Steps

DO NOT APPLY MAINS UNTIL INSTRUCTED!

Step 1

– Ensure that the mains power to the circuit is
switched OFF. Place the previously indentified Live
in into the L in terminal and switch Live into the
Lout terminal.

Step 2

– Switch the battery ON using dip switch 4 - you
will notice a red LED light flashing on the front of the
unit, which will be flashing rapidly. Whilst this is in
action please select the desired timings by selecting
the appropriate time setting shown in diagram 3.

Step 3

– Switch Mains ON and wait for switch to
latch onto the mains and light source /appliance to
switch OFF.
