4. Installation
• Ensure the mains supply is switched off and the circuit supply
fuses are removed or the circuit breaker turned off.
• Connect the incoming 230V 50Hz supply and outgoing load
cables to the relevant terminals ensuring correct polarity
is observed and that all bare conductors are sleeved
(see section 5. Connection Diagram).
• A front cable exit cut-out is provided with a pre-installed
removable cover.
• If the front exiting cable cut-out is required:
1. Undo the 2 fixing screws and remove the blanking plate
(you can discard the blanking plate at this stage but keep
the 2 fixing screws).
2. Remove the cable grip from the accessory pack.
3. Using the 2 fixing screws previously removed from the blanking
plate, secure the load cable to the unit.
• Finally secure the unit to the back box with the fixing screws
provided, forming the cables during installation to avoid any
entrapment and cable damage.

6. Operation
• The required boost time is selected by pressing the button
marked boost, repeatedly. The LEDs adjacent to the time markers
will light up in sequence, showing the selected boost period.
• Sequence below is for the FBT4 (For the FBT5 substitute
the stated times for 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour and 4 hour);
First push gives ¼ hour boost (LED opposite ¼ is ON)
Second push gives ½ hour boost (LED opposite ½ is ON)
Third push gives 1 hour boost (LED opposite 1 is ON)
Fourth push gives 2 hour boost (LED opposite 2 is ON)
Fifth push returns to zero boost (all LEDs are OFF).
• Once the boost selected is underway, the LEDs will go out
sequentially, indicating the approximate boost time remaining.
Example: 2 hour boost has been set, all LEDs are on;
After 58 minutes the 2 hour LED will flash for two minutes,
and then go out indicating 1 hour remaining.
After a further 28 minutes, the 1 hour LED will flash for two minutes,
and then go out indicating ½ hour remaining. After a further
13 minutes, the ½ hour LED will flash for two minutes, and then
go out indicating 15 minutes remaining.
After a further 13 minutes the ¼ hour LED will flash for two minutes,
and then go out, indicating that the boost period has finished.
• In this way the user has an approximate guide to the remaining
duration of the boost.
• If the boost button is pushed and held down, the LEDs will cycle
upwards with 1 second between each change, in sequence
¼, ½, 1, 2, OFF.

7. Stopping or Increasing Boost
• During the first 15 seconds of activating the boost timer,
it can be stopped by pressing the boost button repeatedly
until all the LEDs are off.
• It can also be stopped during this time period, by holding down
the boost button until all the LEDs are off.
• After the first 15 seconds of activation, the boost may be cancelled
with a single push of the boost button.
• The Boost periods can only be increased during the first 15 seconds
of activation. At all other times, the boost must be cancelled first,
and the required boost periods re-entered.
