7. الصيانة
7.1 استبدال البطارية
The time switch uses a CR2 lithium battery for timekeeping during power outages. The battery is designed to last approximately three years. When the battery is low, a low battery indicator may appear on the display. To replace the battery:
- Turn off power to the switch at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the wall plate and carefully pull the switch out of the wall box.
- Locate the battery compartment, typically on the side or back of the unit.
- Replace the old CR2 battery with a new one, observing polarity.
- Reinstall the switch and wall plate, then restore power.
8. استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها
- Display is blank or not responding: Check power at the circuit breaker. Ensure the CR2 battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge.
- Load does not turn ON/OFF as programmed:
- Verify that the ON and OFF events are programmed correctly and assigned to separate program numbers.
- Check that the current time and date are set accurately.
- Ensure the astronomic settings (location) are correct if using sunrise/sunset functions.
- Confirm the manual override is not active.
- Difficulty fitting into wall box: The unit may be thicker than standard switches. Ensure sufficient space in the electrical box.
- Switch feels loose or wobbly: Ensure mounting screws are tightened securely.
