Hope someone can help. I have moved to another shop now. Bigger, it has its own electrical room. Theres 2 sangamo timers for the outside lights. One is for the fluorescent tubes above the shop signs. When i push the button on the timer, i can see the contacts move and a spark is created, and the lights flick on and off. However, when I rotate the timer, on the day side, the lights do not switch off. On the night side, they do. So they are on all day. A bit of a waste. The timer is the variety with the days on the dial (day omit device if im not mistaken). Any ideas? Obviously we want them off between 9am and 4pm! I have read the instructions on the TLC website, but they are as clear as mud and dont mention this problem!
Plenty of other faults here too: This shop was built 3 years ago, a totally new building. There are no fish keys for the EM lights, none of the EM lights have an LED showing on them to say they are charging - I suspect they are all set to test. (One of the ladies was telling me, whenever theres a powercut, they dont come on.) Electricians never said anything to anyone about any keys or testing the EM lights. Theres a missing blank in the main DB. Theres a UPS missing - the POS sockets are labelled "UPS1" and "UPS 2" but i suspect one set is just plugged into the mains because there's only one UPS. Oh, and theres no covers for these Sangamo timers. One last thing, the cables for the fluorescent lights out front are hanging over the signs. What have I let myself in for?? On the plus side, all the sockets and FCUs are labelled with the MCB number they originate from.
