Why hour setting 11:00 PM is not possible for "free rule" and "fixed date" on Theben Timer?
Setting the hour to 11:00 PM for "free rule" and "fixed date" is not possible on Theben Timer because of software complexities related to the summer/winter changeover. To avoid this, set the summer/winter changeover to 10:00 PM or 12:00 AM.
What to do if "Service" flashes on the Theben 1700130 Timer display?
The flashing "Service" indicator on the Theben Timer display means that the relay's set operating hours have been reached. To resolve this, reset the hour counter.
Why my Theben 1700130 OBELISK top2 does not start when inserted?
If the OBELISK top2 fails to start after insertion into the Theben Timer, the PIN might be activated, the OBELISK might be incorrect, or the device is not in auto mode. Ensure the PIN is deactivated. If you've forgotten the PIN, contact the Theben hotline. Also, press the ESC button to ensure the device is in auto mode.
What to do if OBELISK top2 displays ERROR on Theben Timer?
If the OBELISK top2 displays an ERROR message on the Theben Timer before overwriting, it means that the OBELISK top2 isn't programmed for this type of time switch, or it contains data that the time switch can't read. You can rewrite the OBELISK top2 from the time switch or configure the settings using the PC software.
Why summer/winter changeover does not work properly in Australia on Theben 1700130?
The summer/winter changeover might not work correctly in Australia on your Theben Timer because the changeovers in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere. To fix this, use the free rule and set a date from the first half of the year (e.g., March) for the summer/winter changeover and a date from the second half of the year (e.g., October) for the winter/summer changeover.
Why the two left-hand buttons do not work when OBELISK top2 is inserted in Theben 1700130?
When the OBELISK top2 is inserted into the Theben Timer, the two left-hand buttons are inaccessible and therefore do not function. Only the two right-hand buttons can be used.
