Safety Instructions
• Installation must be carried out by a qualied electrician and conformed to current IEE Regulations!
• Mains supply must be suitably fused (usually 3 amps) and provision made for Class A circuit
disconnection�
• Control is suitable for xed wiring only�
• If the unit is to be surface wired:
– Remove backplate by slackening xing screw and separating plate and timeswitch�
– Remove the knock out from the backplate and the timeswitch�
– Screw backplate to wall with counter sunk number 8� (Wood screws using xing holes provided�)
• For switch mounting:
– Use the centre two holes and x backplate to box using machine screws�
– To ensure clearence for the down ap, ensure that there is a minimum of 4 cm clearance under the
unit when mounted�
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
 Connection and mounting must be performed by a professional electrician!

What is a programmer?
Programmers allow you to set ’On’ and ’Off’ time periods� Some models switch the central heating and
domestic hot water on and off at the same time, while others allow the domestic hot water and heating
to come on and go off at different times�
Set the ’On’ and ’Off’ time periods to suit your own lifestyle� On some programmers you must also set
whether you want the heating and hot water to run continuously, run under the chosen ’On’ and ’Off’
heating periods, or be permanently off�
The time on the programmer must be correct� Some types have to be adjusted in spring and autumn at
the changes between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time�
You may be able to temporarily adjust the heating programme, for example, ’Override’, ’Advance’ or
’Boost’� These are explained in the manufacturer`s instructions�
The heating will not work if the room thermostat has switched the heating off� And, if you have a hot
water cylinder, the water heating will not work if the cylinder thermostat detects that the hot water has
reached the correct temperature�

General installation instructions
The TOWERCHRON QM1 and QM2 are both
double insulated so earth protection is not
required� However in the backplate a terminal for
earth continuity is provided which should be used
if earth conductors are present in your cable�
Make sure that the earth conductors are sleeved
to prevent accidental contact with live parts�

Programming your “TOWERCHRON QM1”
Setting time of day
Rotate the minute hand of the clock until the arrowhead in clock
face aligns with the correct time on the outer dial, i�e� 8 = 8�00 a�m�,
14 = 2�00 p�m�
Setting ON/OFF times
Move all tappets between ON and OFF times required to outer
position� The minimum switching time is 15 minutes�
Set any other ON/OFF periods in a similar manner
Slide switches (under drop down cover)
Pull top edge of drop down cover to gain access to slide switch�
The slide switch provide following functions:
– OFF service off completely
– TIMED service comes on between ON and OFF periods as set
on tappets on clock face
– CONST� service is on continuously

• Carry out wiring installation using appropriate diagram as shown�
• When the TOWERCHRON QM1 timeswitch is to be used with a combination boiler, always refer to the
boiler manufacturers instructions concerning electrical wiring before using the information contained
in this leaet� In some cases the boilers manufacturers instructions will contain information regarding
removal of certain link wires and will always indicate the fuse rating for the mains electrical supply�
• Plug in unit and secure to the base by tightening xing screw�
