TDS3 Time Delay Switch 3 Wire

Product Code: TDS3

The TDS3 time delay switch provides timed control for lighting, heating and ventilation loads. They are simple to install and easy to operate.  The 3-wire switch requires a Neutral and Live connection (but does not require a minimum load to be connected) and can be used either to replace an existing light switch, or on new installations.  The unit will fit into all British Standard single-gang pattress boxes with a minimum depth of 20mm.

The time delay switches are very easy to use; touching the touch-sensitive button with a finger will turn on the connected load. The load will be automatically switched off after the pre-selected delay has elapsed, or after the user cancels the function by momentarily holding their finger on the button. The time delay can be adjusted via an internal thumbwheel from 6 seconds to 60 minutes.  Other time delay periods are available upon request at time of purchase (3 seconds to 30 minutes, 12 seconds to 120 minutes).

The TDS3 can also be supplied with an illuminated touch-sensitive pushbutton to ensure that they are easily located in the dark. The LED will turn off once the load has been switched on.  Product code TDS3-L.

The time delay switches are ideal for multi-way switching using specially designed slave units which provide additional touch-sensitive switches. Product code TDS-S.

The touch-sensitive buttons on the switches removes the presence of a mechanical pushbutton thereby making it vandal resistant, plus with the use of special fixing screws the unit can also be made tamperproof. Product code MSD-154.

Stylish, easy to install and operate the TDS3 provides an accurate and cost effective solution to reducing energy consumption.
