The table below describes the operation of each of the four numbered switching tappets.
The LED’s will light to indicate when the central heating and/or hot water is on.
After the tappets have been set rotate the dial through 24 hours in the direction of the arrows printed on the dial, until the
correct time is shown opposite the timing mark.
In setting the time of day, optimum accuracy is achieved by moving the dial clockwise close to the correct time, then turn-
ing gently anti-clockwise against the stop mechanism. If necessary make a fine adjustment by one further click clockwise
and turn against the stop again. This replicates the action of the tappet against the cam as the dial rotates and enables
closer setting of the time.
Note: rotating the dial the wrong way could result in damage to the Timer
The SM1 Electro Mechanical Programmer is fitted with one advance button, the SM2 two advance buttons.
These buttons will advance the programme to the next switching event, i.e. if on it will go off, if off it will go on. For exam-
ple, by pressing the appropriate advance button when the time control is in the middle of a heating cycle will make the time
control move to a heating off position.
This facility enables you to override your programme temporarily. The programme will revert to normal timed operation at
the next switching event. Thus if you are going out in the evening and don’t want the rest of the evenings programme you
can press the advance button to turn the heating or hot water on/off until the next programmed event. If both circuits are
to be advanced each circuit should be treated as a separate function.
NB. If the programmer has been set to the Gravity hot water mode and the heating is off, pressing the heating advance
will also bring on the hot water circuit.
Set the link on the back of the time control to P or G according to type of system.
For a pumped system remove the link and for a gravity system leave the link in place
P– Fully PUMPED and controlled system, allowing heating and hot water to be selected and function separately.
G– GRAVITY fed hot water system which does not permit heating to be on without hot water. It is possible to have hot
Note: this link is not fitted on the SM1 timeswitch.
Make sure mains input has a 3 Amp fuse
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or heating engineer and must conform to the I.E.E. Regulations
for Electrical Equipment of Buildings and all other relevant standards.
In many cases the SM2 programmer will fit directly on to the existing wall-plate without any changes to existing wiring. The
chart below shows which programmers can be directly replaced and the wiring detail of those that will need the wall-plate
Generally, when fitting the SM1 timeclock, although it will fit onto existing wall-plates, some wiring changes will be neces-
sary. Please consult the chart below for guidance. The SM1 has Volt-Free terminals so you need to fit a link from L to
Terminal 1 on the wall-plate if you want 230V output.
The SM1 timeswitch will automatically switch your boiler ON and OFF once or twice a day, at whatever times you choose.
The SM2 central heating programmer will automatically switch your heating and hot water system ON and OFF once or
twice a day, at whatever times you choose.
If you have a fully pumped and controlled system you will be able to have central heating without hot water and vice versa.
You can choose a different mode for your heating to hot water.
A gravity-fed hot water system does not allow heating to be on without hot water.
You also have the option to obtain continuous ON or OFF operation.
These Electro Mechanical Time Controls are simple to use central heating controllers which can be set to give the pro-
gramme you want as described below.
Using the switching tappets
The four tappets round the timing dial can be moved by pushing them in towards the dial and sliding them round to the
desired switching time. When they are released they engage with the underside of the dial where they are securely held
Push the hot water and/or central heating slide button to the “twice” position. Start with number 1 tappet which must be
pushed and moved round the dial to the first On setting time required, release pressure to secure. Move number 2 tap-
pet in the same way to the first chosen Off time. Move the number 3 tappet to your second
tappet to the last Off time.
Slide the hot water and/or central heating slide buttons to the “once” position. The programmer will now only operate the
number 1 tappet for On, ignore the 2 and 3 tappets and operate the number 4 tappet for Off.
Note: it is important to use the correct tappets for the ON and OFF switchings otherwise the wrong programme will result.
