Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Levánté Fused Spur Electronic Timer 24/7 Day Control is a sophisticated device designed to manage electrical loads with precision and flexibility. This appliance offers comprehensive control over connected devices, making it ideal for various applications where scheduled power management is beneficial. Its primary function is to provide a programmable timer for electrical circuits, allowing users to automate the ON/OFF switching of appliances based on daily and weekly schedules.

Function Description

At its core, the Levánté timer acts as an intelligent switch, enabling users to set up to 24 ON and 24 OFF programs per day across a 7-day cycle. This extensive programming capability allows for highly customized schedules, accommodating diverse needs from lighting control to heating systems. The device features a digital display that provides clear feedback on its operational status, including the current time, day, and active program. LED indicators further enhance usability by visually signaling power and load status.

A key feature is its ability to handle both resistive and inductive loads, making it versatile for a wide range of appliances. The timer is designed to be installed as a fused spur, integrating directly into the electrical wiring system. This ensures a secure and permanent installation, providing reliable power management. The inclusion of a replaceable fuse, accessible from the front, simplifies maintenance and enhances safety.

The device also incorporates a "BOOST" function, which allows users to temporarily override the pre-set programs. This is particularly useful for situations requiring a short-term power supply outside of the regular schedule, such as an extra hour of heating or lighting. The boost duration can be selected from pre-defined intervals, offering quick and convenient control.

Usage Features

The Levánté timer is designed for user-friendly operation, despite its advanced capabilities. The digital display and intuitive button layout facilitate easy programming and status monitoring.

• 24/7 Digital Control: Users can set up to 24 ON and 24 OFF programs for each day of the week, offering unparalleled flexibility in scheduling. This allows for different schedules on weekdays versus weekends, or even unique schedules for each individual day.
• Auto Screen Lock: To prevent accidental changes, the display automatically locks after 60 seconds of inactivity. Unlocking is a simple process, requiring a 3-second press of the "MODE" button.
• Boost Function: This feature provides temporary manual control over the load. By pressing the "BOOST" button, users can activate the connected appliance for pre-set durations (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours), overriding the current program without altering the stored schedules. The countdown timer for the boost duration is displayed on the screen. Holding the "BOOST" button for 3 seconds cancels the function.
• Output Mode Settings: The device offers various output modes to suit different operational preferences:
  • "ON": The appliance remains permanently ON until another mode is selected.
  • "OFF": The appliance remains permanently OFF until another mode is selected.
  • "AUTO OFF" (Program Skip): The appliance remains in OFF mode until the next scheduled ON program.
  • "AUTO ON" (Program Advance): The appliance remains in ON mode until the next scheduled OFF program.
• Clock Setting: Setting the current time and day is straightforward. The device allows for easy adjustment of hours and minutes, and users can select the current day of the week.
• BST +1 hr Function: This feature simplifies the adjustment for British Summer Time (BST). Users can activate or deactivate a +1 hour offset, ensuring the clock remains accurate without needing to manually re-program all schedules.
• Programming Cycles: The timer supports various programming cycles, allowing users to apply a single schedule to multiple days (e.g., Monday-Friday, Saturday-Sunday, or all 7 days), reducing repetitive programming efforts.
• Visual Indicators: Red and green LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the power status and whether the load is currently active, enhancing user awareness.
• Back-up Battery: A built-in rechargeable battery ensures that pre-set programs are retained for up to 20 days even if the mains power is interrupted. This prevents the loss of schedules during power outages, minimizing the need for re-programming. For optimal performance, it's recommended to connect the appliance to mains power for at least 15 minutes before initial programming to charge the battery.

Maintenance Features

The Levánté timer is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, ensuring longevity and reliable performance.

• Regular Cleaning: The appliance should be cleaned regularly to maintain its appearance and functionality. It is recommended to isolate the electricity supply and allow the appliance to cool before wiping it with a soft, damp cloth.
• Gentle Cleaning Agents: Users should avoid using detergents or abrasives, as these can damage the surface of the appliance. Similarly, sharp hard tools should not be used to scrape the surfaces.
• Front-Accessible Fuse: The fuse is easily replaceable from the front of the unit, simplifying maintenance. This design choice allows for quick and safe fuse replacement without requiring extensive disassembly of the unit or specialized tools.
• Non-Replaceable Rechargeable Battery: While the battery is non-replaceable by the user, its design ensures that programs are stored for an extended period during power interruptions. If the screen becomes blank or faint after a prolonged power-off, simply reconnecting the appliance to mains power will recharge the battery.
• Reset Function: A reset button allows users to clear all previous programs and revert the appliance to its factory settings. This is useful for troubleshooting or when re-programming from scratch.
• WEEE Compliance: The device adheres to European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This means that at the end of its life, the appliance should not be disposed of as normal domestic waste but should be taken to designated collection points for recycling. This commitment to environmental responsibility ensures proper disposal and recycling of electronic components.

Overall, the Levánté Fused Spur Electronic Timer 24/7 Day Control offers a robust and user-friendly solution for automated power management, combining advanced programming capabilities with practical usage and maintenance features.
