Time switch for DIN rail
Item no. 2144015
Item no. 2144016
Intended Use
This product is designed to be used as a time switch to control electrical systems. It features up to two
individually programmable switching channels. The time switch models with item numbers 2144015 and
2144023 only feature one switching channel. The time switch has 58 programmable memory spaces in 29
blocks (on/off). You can configure a PIN to secure the time switch against unauthorised use. The time switch
can be configured to switch between summer and winter time. The time switch models with order numbers
2144023 and 2144025 feature a random/holiday mode, which can be configured to randomise switching
operations (e.g. when you are on holiday). This function is not available for item numbers 2144015 and
2144016.
The time switch is designed for standalone installation in a control cabinet by means of a symmetrical 35 mm
profile in accordance with EN 60715 standards (DIN rail).
This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture (e.g. in a bath-
room) must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, do not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product for purposes
other than those described above may damage the product. In addition, improper use can cause hazards

a) General information
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
b) Installation
• Installation work must only be done by qualified personnel who are familiar with the potential
hazards and the relevant regulations.
• Before connecting the device, turn off the power circuit to which the device is to be connected.
Remove the corresponding main fuse or trip the automatic fuse.
• Ensure that all corresponding cables are dead. Ensure that the cables are isolated and that
the contact points are covered. Never use bare wires for the connection.
• The device is protected internally against interference by means of a protective circuit. Despite
these protective measures, very strong magnetic fields may impair its function.
• Interference can be avoided by observing the following installation rules:
- Do not install the device near inductive loads (e.g. motors, transformers or contactors).
- The power should be supplied via a separate mains circuit (with a mains filter if required).
- Inductive loads must be equipped with protective devices to reduce overvoltages (varistors,
RC filters).
• Check whether interference signals are emitted when the time switch is used together with
other devices in a system.
c) Connected devices
• Always observe the safety instructions and operating instructions of any other devices which
are connected to the product.

Operation and programming
a) Switching on/off and reset
•
To switch on the time switch, press and hold the Res button (1) for 1 second with a sharp object (e.g.
pen). All display elements will appear briefly, after which the time switch is ready to configure. To restore
the default settings during use, press the Res button again.
If you have configured a PIN or switch programs, these will not be deleted when the settings are
restored.
•
When the supply voltage is not connected, the LCD display switches off after 10 minutes to reduce bat-
tery consumption (sleep mode). To wake the display, briefly press the MENU (2) button.
•
When the time switch is powered by battery, three points will flash on the display. When it is connected
to the supply voltage, only two points will flash.
