2. Installation and Commissioning
We recommend that this unit
be fitted by a qualified electrician.
Install in accordance to wiring
and current building regulations.
Please read the instructions carefully.
If in any doubt contact the
Timeguard helpline.
Switch off mains electricity.
Remove the existing light switch, and transfer the wires to the ZV700B
according to the following instructions:
If the switch is an ON/OFF type, the supply wire should be inserted into the live
terminal (com), and the live out (L1) to the load terminal. Do not disturb any
earth wires connected to the wall box terminal.
If the switch is a 2-way switch, used in conjunction with a second light switch,
it will have 3 wires. In this case the wire originally connected to COM terminal
must be connected to the live terminal. The remaining two wires connect to the
Load (L1) and the 2 way (L2) terminals in either position.
If two wires are connected to any one terminal on the original switch,
these should be kept together and inserted into the corresponding single
terminal on the ZV700B.
Once mains power has been restored, the ZV700B will require its internal
battery to be charged before programming. Once it is charged sufficiently
(Approximately 4 hours), the display will show “– –:––”
Reset must be pressed before commencing programming.

Once programme 6 OFF has been set, press ‘Prog’ to exit programme mode.
At any time during programming, if the ‘Prog’ button is held down for 3 seconds,
the ZV700B will return to operating mode.
The display will
now show.
Where the time is correct, the day is correct, and the ON/OFF indicator reflects

depicted by an A on the display.
4a. Reviewing Programmes:
Press and hold ‘Prog’ until the programmed mode shows on the screen. This will
show the mode the ZV700B was programmed in. It is possible at this stage to

5. Operating Mode:
In operating mode, ‘Adv’ advances the programme to the next change. If the
output is OFF, it will change the output to ON until the next programmed
OFF period. If the output is ON, it will turn it OFF until the next programmed
ON period. The plastic flap presses on the ‘Adv’ button to turn the output on.
It is not necessary to open the flap.
The ZV700 has four operating modes. Pressing the mode button scrolls
between modes.
Auto mode (A): The output will be controlled by the programmed times.
Photocell (P): This operates using the programmed ON/OFF times, but the output
only switches on when the light level drops. The output will only
come on if it is within a programmed on period.
Random mode (R): This uses the programmed ON/OFF times. On a random basis,
it can change the ON/OFF times programmed by up to 30 minutes earlier, or
later than programmed.
Manual mode (M): In manual mode the output is controlled by the Adv button,
not the programmed times.
6. Back Light:
The back light will turn on when any button is pressed. It will remain on
for 30 seconds after the last button press.
When scrolling times in programming mode, either from 0 to 24 hours,
or 00 to 59 minutes, there is the option of re-entering ”––”.
Cancelling Programmes:
Programmes can be cancelled by re-entering ”––”. instead of the hour
and minutes. Both ON times, and OFF times need to be blanked out.
