Flash Immermat 31100 immersion timer problem

    Hi,

    I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me.

    I have had a Flash Immermat 31100 immersion timer installed but the timer part isn't working. 'constant on' works as does 'constant off', but nothing happens when it is set to 'timed on/off' regardless of whether I have pins selected or not. The clock doesn't even keep time on this setting. I understood that it should keep time no matter what the setting, or have I got this wrong? The clock only keeps time when it is set to 'constant on', and pins are selected.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've attached a pic of how it is wired.

    Thanks in advance,
    Junipers

    At a guess the inputs and outputs are mixed up.

    With the timer OFF measure the voltage using a multimeter.

    You need to replace the whole timer. Personally I hate this type of timer. You could replace it with a digital timer with a boost button.

    Edit : sorry I didn't read op correctly. I didn't realise that it was a new timer

    This bit makes me think that the supply wires have been connected to the load side of the switch.

    Try switching wire 1 with wire 4, AND wire 2 with wire 3.

    MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF FIRST


    (wires 2 and 3 would probably work reversed, but it's better to keep the supply and load wires as shown in the diagram)

    Thank you both for your responses. Brightspark, if it is already wired correctly, could switching the wires as you suggest cause any problems once I switch my power back on?

    Was it working before? If it was it probably was wired ok.

    You need to establish which cables are the feed, and which the load.

    I just had the on/off bath/sink switches before which worked as normal, and I only recently got the timer installed but it never worked properly.

    Call back the installer. 12 month warranty came with the timer when he bought it. You'll void waranty if you fiddle with yourself

    That wont cause any problem, if it was wired correctly already, and is then swapped to the wrong way around.

    But it is likely swapping the 2 browns around will fix the problem.
