3. Орнотуу жана орнотуу
The Theben SYN 161d Analog Timer is designed for easy installation on a DIN rail (also known as a top hat rail) within an electrical enclosure.
3.1 Монтаждоо
- Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is disconnected.
- Locate an available space on the DIN rail.
- Align the timer with the DIN rail and press it firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely fastened.

Figure 3.1: The timer is designed for quick and secure mounting onto a standard DIN rail.
3.2 Зымдарды туташтыруу
The SYN 161d features DuoFix spring terminals for quick and reliable wiring. These terminals are suitable for two conductors each, with a wire diameter of 0.5 - 2.5 mm² (wire or strand, with or without wire end sleeve).
- Электр кубаты өчүрүлгөнүн текшериңиз.
- Identify the input (L, N) and output (1, 2, 3) terminals on the timer. Refer to the diagram on the device.
- Prepare the wire ends by stripping approximately 8mm of insulation.
- Insert the prepared wire into the corresponding DuoFix spring terminal. The button next to the terminal can be pressed to release the connection if needed.
- Connect the incoming phase (L) and neutral (N) wires to the designated input terminals.
- Connect the load (e.g., lighting circuit) to the output terminals (typically 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 for switching). The timer provides a changeover contact.
- Электр кубатын калыбына келтирүүдөн мурун, бардык туташуулардын бекемдигин жана тууралыгын эки жолу текшериңиз.

4. Иштөө нускамалары
The Theben SYN 161d Analog Timer offers intuitive controls for setting the time and programming daily switching cycles.
4.1 Учурдагы убакытты орнотуу
The timer's clock hands indicate the current time, with 12/24 hour recognition. The time can be adjusted both clockwise and anti-clockwise.
- Rotate the central dial (the blue ring with numbers) until the current time aligns with the small arrow indicator on the outer edge of the dial.
- Ensure the AM/PM (or 12/24 hour) indication is correct if applicable to your model.

4.2 Programming Switching Times
The timer features 96 switching segments, each representing 15 minutes. To program a switching event, push the segments outwards for the desired ON periods.
- Identify the segments corresponding to the times you want the connected device to be ON.
- Using a small, non-metallic tool (like a pen cap), push the desired segments outwards. When a segment is pushed outwards, the device will be ON during that 15-minute interval. When pushed inwards, it will be OFF.
- Repeat for all desired ON/OFF periods throughout the 24-hour cycle.
4.3 Кол менен өзгөртүү которгучу
The timer is equipped with a manual switch offering three positions for flexible control:
- Continuous ON (I): The connected device remains continuously ON, overriding the programmed schedule.
- AUTO (Clock Symbol): The timer operates according to the programmed schedule. This is the standard operating mode.
- Continuous OFF (0): The connected device remains continuously OFF, overriding the programmed schedule.
