Comes on before time set

Just check that the times set to come on and off are correct. Am and pm. Also make sure the selection of once, twice, 24Hr(on) and off is selected correctly, does the clock switch the clock off on hot water ok?
When the heating goes off does it go off on the clock but still heat up could be passing valve if hot water is still on ?? But have had a few where the switches fail in the unit. Hope this my shed some light

Is your thermostat set for daylight savings time?

Sometimes it does take time for things to stabilize. I have had weather instruments take up to a day to get right. Unfortunately, just because something is new does not guarantee it is working perfectly. That's why most things come with a guarantee.

How To
Set The Temperature


The reason the stat is coming on during the night/ always
being on is setting number 5, there are 5 settings on the Salus

1
is the time you want heating on eg, 07.00 and set the temp (20)

2
is the time you want it to go off eg, 10.00 and set the temp (10 this
will turn it off)

3 is the time to come on an evening eg. 17.00
and set the temp (20)

4 is the time you want it to go off eg,
23.00 and set the temp (10 this will turn it off)

5 the problem
many people have is that they do not set number 5 correctly, this is a
night/ frost stat and if you don't set the time and temperature same as 4
ie, 23.00 and 10*c then the heating will stay on.

Clock motor has gone bad.
Order replacement timer module:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#FM1
Usually the model number is on back of timer module.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

If I understand correctly, you have an Intermatic timer.
The timer has a yellow dial that rotates around like a clock.

Does the manual override work?
If yes.
a) then the circuit has electricity
b) the lights are in working order

Does the clock rotate?
If yes
a) then the timer is probably good
b) the clock motor could be bad
c) the gears could be rusty and dirty

Do you have the current time set correctly?
Lift and rotate dial until current time lines up with silver pointer.

Do you have the trippers set on the correct time?
There are ON trippers and OFF trippers
Attach trippers to correct time
Tripper pins wear out

Suggestion: You sit in front of the timer and watch the trippers as they rotate to the bottom of the dial
When the trippers get to the bottom, they push a lever that turns lights on and off.
Look at the photo:


Here's a website that sells tripper pins and clock motors for Intermatic timers.
You can buy new trippers or clock motor

I have one of these too. the TOP small clock should be set to the time you want the oven to start and the BOTTOM small clock should be set to the time you want it to turn off. Be sure to set the oven settings to what you want and the correct temperature.

Try testing it first just to see if it works correctly. It's also important to make sure the other large clock on the oven is set correctly.
