Space-Efficient Professional Design

At just 85mm x 85mm x 35mm with only 10mm protruding depth, the FST24SL delivers full-featured time control in a remarkably compact package. This slim-profile design fits seamlessly into standard flush wall boxes or surface-mount pattress installations, making it ideal for retrofit applications where space is at a premium.

The professional-grade polycarbonate construction and IP20 rating ensure reliable performance in indoor environments, while the clean white finish complements any interior décor. Unlike bulky traditional timers, the FST24SL's discrete profile maintains the aesthetic integrity of residential and commercial spaces.

Four Programme Flexibility

Featuring four independent ON/OFF programmes available daily, the FST24SL provides the programming flexibility that electrical contractors need for diverse applications. Whether controlling corridor lighting in student accommodation, heating systems in housing associations, or security lighting in commercial premises, the versatile programming options accommodate varying operational requirements.

The easy-view 24-hour digital display ensures clear programme visibility, while the intuitive programming interface allows users to set, review, and modify timings without technical expertise. This user-friendly approach reduces support calls and enhances customer satisfaction.

Uncompromising Reliability Features

Built with the electrical contractor in mind, the FST24SL includes comprehensive reliability features that prevent costly call-backs. The integral NiMH rechargeable battery provides 28 days of programme retention during power outages, ensuring consistent operation even during extended maintenance periods or grid disruptions.

Red LED 'Mains ON' and green LED 'Output' indicators provide instant visual confirmation of system status, enabling rapid troubleshooting and reducing diagnostic time. The automatic summer/winter time changeover eliminates manual adjustments, while the self-cancelling override function prevents accidental permanent mode activation.

Boost Control When You Need It

The optional boost facility delivers 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes of instant override control, perfect for temporary heating requirements or extended lighting periods. This flexible boost system automatically returns to normal programming without intervention, ensuring energy efficiency while providing user convenience.

The programme advance and review options allow users to skip to the next scheduled event or verify current settings, delivering the operational flexibility that facility managers require for efficient building management.

Installation Without Complications

Engineered for straightforward installation, the FST24SL features bottom and back cable entry options to accommodate various wiring configurations. The replaceable BS1362 13A fuse provides front-access serviceability, while the single-pole switching design simplifies circuit integration.

With impressive switching ratings of 13A resistive, 750W incandescent/halogen, 500W fluorescent, and 200W LED loads, the FST24SL handles diverse lighting and heating applications without derating. The 1-minute minimum switching time provides precise control for applications requiring frequent switching cycles.

Proven Performance Standards

The FST24SL maintains Timeguard's reputation for professional-grade reliability with comprehensive safety compliance and robust construction. Operating reliably from 0°C to 40°C with less than 0.91W standby consumption, this time switch delivers efficient operation while meeting modern energy efficiency expectations.

The permanent ON/OFF facility provides manual override capability for maintenance or special events, while the comprehensive programme advance options ensure operational flexibility without compromising automated control integrity.
