QE2
Remove QE1/QE2 from packing and prepare it for use on fully pumped or for gravity hot water systems.
For gravity hot water systems no action is required.
NB • Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and conform to current IEE Regulations.
NB • Mains supply must be suitably fused (usually 3 amps) and provision made for Class A circuit disconnection.

APPLICATIONS (QE1)
• Any simple time switching application up to
the stated rating
• Domestic heating systems where both heating and
hot water services are required to switch ON and
OFF at the same time
• Controlling a “combi“ or “combination boiler“
NB • If you are setting the clock in wintertime (GMT): The clock is now
correctly set.
If you are setting the clock in summertime (BST): Press
the “SUMMER/WINTER” button once. The arrowhead at the bottom
of the display moves to indicate Summertime, and the clock is
correctly set.

The TOWERCHRON QE1 is double insulated, so earth protection is not required. However, in the backplate a termi-
nal for earth continuity is provided which should be used if earth conductors are present in your cable. Make sure that
the earth conductors are sleeved to prevent accidental contact with live parts.

APPLICATIONS (QE2)
• Fully pumped central heating systems using mid
position valves, spring return valves or
“power open”, power closed valves.
• Gravity hot water, pumped heating systems with
or without motorised valves fitted into the
domestic hot water primary circuit.
Important note:
For fully pumped systems the switch located at the
rear of the “QE2” must be moved to the right -
into the “fully pumped” position.
