6. Инструкция по эксплуатации

6.1 Установка времени

The desired lighting duration can be set using the blue rotary wheel on the front of the device. Rotate the wheel to align the desired time (in minutes) with the indicator mark. The scale provides an absolute time setting, typically ranging from 0.5 to 7 minutes.

6.2 Continuous Light Function

The ELPA 8 features a practical toggle switch located above the time setting dial. In the 'light bulb' position, the timer function is active, and the light will switch off after the set duration. Moving the toggle to the 'sun' position activates continuous light, bypassing the timer. The light will remain on until the toggle is returned to the 'light bulb' position to re-enable timer operation.

7. Техническое обслуживание

The Theben ELPA 8 is designed for maintenance-free operation. To ensure longevity and proper function:

• Ensure the device is kept clean and free from dust.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself, as this may void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
• For any issues requiring internal inspection or repair, consult a qualified electrician.

8. Поиск Неисправностей

If the stair light timer switch is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• Нет света: Check the power supply to the device and ensure all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the diagram (Figure 1). Verify that the light bulb(s) in the circuit are functional.
• Свет горит постоянно: Check the position of the continuous light toggle switch. Ensure it is set to the timer function (light bulb icon) and not the continuous light function (sun icon).
• Неверное время: Re-adjust the rotary wheel to the desired time setting. Ensure the wheel is not obstructed.
• Device Not Responding to Push-button: Ensure the push-button input (terminal 3) is correctly wired and the push-button itself is functional. Test the push-button for continuity if possible.

If problems persist after checking these points, contact a qualified electrician for further assistance.
