Can the device control LED or fluorescent lamps?

The changeover relay 8 A 230 V~ is suitable for resistive loads (8 A) and incandescent lamps (800 W). For fluorescent lamps, the manual states that the device is not suitable for direct control. Use a suitable contactor if necessary.

Go to Settings > Language. Choose from Italiano, English, Français, Español or Deutsch. The on-screen instructions will then be in the selected language.

What do the icons on the screen mean?

The Prog_1 or Prog_2 icon indicates the active program, the day of the week (Mon, Tue...), the current time and the output state (on/off). A display like 'Prog_1 →15:30' shows the next programmed switching.

Can the timer be used outdoors?

The protection degree is IP40, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm, but not against water. It must be installed indoors, in an electrical panel or suitable enclosure, protected from weather.

How to copy a program from one day to another?

In the Programming menu, select the desired program (Prog_1 or Prog_2), then choose Modify. A Copy option allows you to copy the schedules from another already configured day.
