معلومات السلامة
- Ensure the power supply is 12V DC. Connecting to an incorrect voltagقد يؤدي ذلك إلى تلف الجهاز.
- ينبغي أن يقوم شخص مؤهل بالتركيب إذا كنت غير متأكد من الأسلاك الكهربائية.
- Do not expose the timer to water or excessive humidity.
- لا تحاول فتح الجهاز أو إصلاحه بنفسك. استعن بفنيي صيانة مؤهلين.
- Disconnect power before making any wiring connections or disconnections.
1. الإعداد
1.1 فك التعبئة
Carefully remove the timer from its packaging. Inspect the device for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not proceed with installation and contact your supplier.
متطلبات الطاقة 1.2
The Lafayette TDS-12 operates on a 12 فولت تيار مستمر power supply. It is crucial to provide a stable 12V DC source to the timer's power input terminals. The internal battery maintains program settings but requires external 12V power to remain charged and for the timer to function correctly.
1.3 توصيلات الأسلاك
The timer features a terminal block on the rear for power input and relay output connections. Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized.

الشكل 2: مثالample of wiring terminals on the Lafayette TDS-12. This image illustrates the power input and relay output connections.
- مدخلات الطاقة: Connect your 12V DC power supply to the designated '+' and '-' terminals. Observe correct polarity.
- تتابع الانتاج: The timer provides a set of dry contact relay outputs:
- COM (عام): هذا هو الطرف المشترك لمفتاح الترحيل.
- لا (مفتوح عادة): The circuit between COM and NO is open when the timer is OFF and closed when the timer is ON.
- NC (مغلق عادة): The circuit between COM and NC is closed when the timer is OFF and open when the timer is ON.
- مهم: If you are controlling a 12V device, the 12V positive supply must also be connected to the COM terminal of the relay output. The device to be controlled will then connect between the NO (or NC) terminal and the 12V negative supply.
1.4 ضبط الوقت الأولي
- Ensure the timer is powered on.
- اضغط على ساعة زر.
- استخدم ساعة و دقيقة buttons to set the current hour and minute.
- استخدم يوم زر لضبط اليوم الحالي من الأسبوع.
- اضغط على ساعة button again to save the settings and exit time setting mode.
2. التشغيل
2.1 الشاشة والأزرار
The timer features an LCD display showing the current time, day, and program status. The control panel typically includes buttons such as:

- ساعة: Returns to clock display, used with other buttons to set time.
- يوم: Selects day(s) of the week.
- ساعة: Adjusts hour.
- دقيقة: Adjusts minute.
- يدوي: Manual override for ON/AUTO/OFF modes.
- إعادة: Clears all settings (often a recessed button requiring a pointed object).
2.2 برمجة دورات التشغيل/الإيقاف
The TDS-12 supports up to 20 ON/OFF programs. Follow these steps to set a program:
- اضغط على بروغ button once. The display will show "1 ON" (for the first ON program).
- استخدم يوم button to select the desired day(s) for this program. Options include individual days, weekdays, weekends, or all days.
- استخدم ساعة و دقيقة أزرار لضبط وقت التشغيل المطلوب.
- يضعط بروغ again. The display will show "1 OFF" (for the first OFF program).
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the desired OFF time for the first program.
- تواصل الضغط بروغ to cycle through "2 ON", "2 OFF", up to "20 ON", "20 OFF", setting each program as needed.
- بعد ضبط جميع البرامج المطلوبة، اضغط على ساعة button to exit program setting mode and return to the current time display.
Note: If you do not set an OFF time for an ON program, or vice-versa, the timer will ignore that specific program step.
2.3 تجاوز يدوي
ال يدوي button allows you to override the programmed settings temporarily or permanently. Pressing this button cycles through different modes:
- تلقاءي: يعمل المؤقت وفقًا لدورات التشغيل/الإيقاف المبرمجة.
- على: The output relay is continuously ON, overriding all programs.
- OFF: The output relay is continuously OFF, overriding all programs.

3. الصيانة
3.1 البطارية الداخلية
The TDS-12 contains an internal rechargeable battery that retains time and program settings during power outages. This battery is charged when the timer is connected to its 12V DC power supply. If the timer is left unpowered for an extended period, the battery may discharge, requiring you to reset the time and programs upon reconnection.
3.2 التنظيف
To clean the timer, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the device in water.
3.3 الظروف البيئية
Operate the timer within typical indoor temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high moisture environments to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
4. استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها
| مشكلة | السبب المحتمل | حل |
|---|---|---|
| Timer display is blank or not responding. | No 12V DC power supply, or internal battery is fully discharged. | Check 12V DC power connections. Ensure power supply is active. If battery was discharged, connect to power and allow time to charge. |
| البرامج لا يتم تنفيذها. | Timer is in MANUAL ON or MANUAL OFF mode. Incorrect time setting. Programs not saved correctly. | يضعط يدوي button until "AUTO" is displayed. Verify current time and day. Re-enter and save programs if necessary. |
| Output device is not switching. | Incorrect wiring of the relay contacts. Device requires more power than the timer can handle. | Review the wiring diagram in Section 1.3. Ensure the COM terminal is correctly connected to the power source for the controlled device. Check the power rating of the controlled device against the timer's relay specifications. |
| Timer resets unexpectedly. | Unstable 12V power supply. Faulty internal battery. | Ensure a stable 12V DC power source. If the problem persists, the internal battery may need replacement (contact support). |
| Partial display segments are missing. | Possible internal component issue, potentially due to environmental factors (e.g., moisture). | Ensure the timer is in a dry environment. If the issue persists, contact support. |
