Introduction
The TS2-C is a 2kW timer and part of a family of controllers designed to provide energy
saving when used with Quartz Infrared alogen Lamps or other eating and Lighting
Products. The ‘T’ model switches the lamps on for a pre-determined time period of
between 5 and 60 seconds.
The microcontroller-based unit incorporates zero-voltage switching and a soft-start
function to eliminate the lamps’ initial high inrush current – potentially increasing lamp
life by as much as 30%. Installation of the unit is simple and once installed is relatively
maintenance-free.
Applications:
patio areas, smoking shelters, restaurants, warehouses, workshops and garden
lighting.
Installation
Important: Read carefully the following information before installing the unit.
The TS2-C should be fixed securely using the four mounting holes accessible from the
front of the unit. Remove the lid to access the mounting holes.
IMPORTANT! The unit must be orientated with the cable glands facing down.
iring
It is recommended that installation and maintenance of this equipment should be
done with reference to the current edition of the I.E.E. wiring regulations (BS7671) by
suitably qualified/trained personnel. These regulations contain important
requirements regarding safety of electrical equipment (for International Standards
refer to I.E.C/ directive IEC950).
arning! Isolate the mains supply before commencing any work on this unit. Ensure
all earth wires are connected to maintain earth continuity to the lamp fittings.
The unit is fitted with two cable glands. Only one cable should be fitted per gland to
prevent degrading the unit’s IP rating. When fitting two lamps it is recommended that
a junction box is used.
The mains supply connects to the terminal block marked ‘LINE’. Connect the supply
LIVE to the ‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL to the ‘N’ terminal and EARTH to the ‘E’ terminal.
The lamps connect to the terminal block marked ‘LOAD’. Connect the load LIVE to the
‘L’ terminal, NEUTRAL to the ‘N’ terminal and EARTH to the ‘E’ terminal. If two lamps
are to be fitted they must be wired in parallel.Check all wiring and make sure the cable
glands are tightened.
