1. Identify the input terminals (L for Live, N for Neutral) and output terminals (typically marked 1 and 2 for the switching contact). Refer to the wiring diagram printed on the device.
2. Connect the incoming power supply (220-240V AC, 50/60Hz) to the input terminals.
3. Connect the load (e.g., light fixture, appliance) to the output terminals. The timer features a 1 NO (Normally Open) switching contact.
4. Use wires with a cross-section of 2.5 mm² for all connections. Ensure all screw terminals are tightened securely to prevent loose connections and overheating.

5.3 Issettjar tal-Ħin Inizjali

After wiring, restore power. Rotate the central dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator on the timer's face. The dial is marked for 24 hours (e.g., 18 for 6 PM).

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

6.1 Programmazzjoni taċ-Ċikli ON/OFF

The timer allows for up to 96 ON/OFF switching cycles within a 24-hour period. Each segment on the dial represents 15 minutes.

• To program an ON period, push the corresponding segments outwards.
• To program an OFF period, leave the segments pushed inwards.

Per example, to turn a device ON from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, push out the four segments corresponding to 7:00, 7:15, 7:30, and 7:45.

6.2 Operating Modes (Manual Override)
