You mean those turning type got clock sound 1? The hager brand is this type.

Very reliable. I have 2 in my home for over 10yrs. Running without fail.

is it ? hmm okie.. any shop or places in PJ.. top ten is in puchong right ???

10 years ? wow.. yeah maybe u should change.. sicne EH711 got batt one.. so if trip the clock still running...

that is why i want it for that reason only

I m using the 1 that got battery. Hager got 2 type. Cheaper 1 no battery. If not mistaken got battery cost rm120.

I use both Hager and Maxguard relay timer. Maxguard is a Malaysian brand and is cheaper than imported brand Hager. Both have same functions with built in battery and both are as good but of course Hager is much more better looking/design on appearance. If out look is necessity, then pay more for Hager.

For single porch light, don't use timer. Use light sensor instead. Can easily DIY instal. If use timer, you need to pay $$ to wireman to fix for you.
you can buy Selcon photo sensor about RM25 per unit.

okie so there are two options,

actually im planning to DIY the hager and power cables myself so it doesn't matter to me.. due to the way i implement the lighting..

i can't use photo sensor.. eg back light that comes on at midnight

cause between evening to midnight , there is the kitchen light bathroom lights that provided some/little illumination..

so back to the question, where to get in PJ area.. ??

Hi all
Would like to ask, if I install a Hager timer (be it electromechanical or full digital), can I install a by-pass switch (aka normal light switch) for the timer? I want to be able to by-pass the timer, and switch on/off my lights as I wish, since I plan to install a timer for my car porch. Sometimes I do wash my car past certain hours, or wee hours in the morning, which requires me to bypass the timer without fumbling with the timer controls.
Would appreciate some guidance from electrical experts here.
Thanks!

Timer itself have buttom to switch on/off the timer as well. so u no need to adjust the timing when u need the light.

It is not easy to wired up the timer but if you have some basic wiring knowledge, then should be no problem.
My front porch also have bright street light but the Selcon worked as intended. If the external light disturb the photo cell, just adjust the angle or block it.
Any electrical shop in PJ selling it.

There is a manual override switch on the timer itself.

It is not difficult if you instal next to the light and hide on top of the ceiling. I do that for the car porch. But if you instal next to the switch, you need to wire a neutral from db or nearest place.

okie, thanks.. will look into it...

yup

Thanks for the inputs, but can I not touch the timer and use a separate light switch as a by-pass for the timer?
I have seen the Hager EH711, the override switch is really small. I was hoping to use the light switch normally (as in On/Off), but when I need timer control, I can direct the control over to the timer....
Is such a thing do-able? Probably a 3 way light switch ?
Thanks

Can. You can use a switch to bypass the timer. Just a normal ON/OFF switch will do.

Hi, my Hager EH711 now seem got little problem on the backup battery, when switch it off (cut the live wayar by switch ON/OFF), the timer die after that. Previously it can still last long for 3 or 5 days without LIVE & Neutral input, so meaning it was use back up battery to run the clock.

But now I just try to check on it, where is the battery and how to replace the battery?
Seeking help on this

Think some may not have battery, it run with capacitor.

Oh, then something wrong inside my Hager timer?
Not even more than 3 years...OMG

Sometime the damage could be due to spike or lighting surged.

Oh, really? Then i need to adjust the clock every time blackout

Hi guys,

Need your help to find out what's wrong with my hager time switch EH711. It has been installed for 5 years and has worked well.

Recently the clock is getting slower. It's moving, just getting slower (like half an hour late after I adjusted it to correct time 3 hours ago).

How can I fix this? Do you think this unit has already gone bad?

Thanks a million!

Look like is time to change.

I got the same problem as u. May need to replace 1st before finding other solution as will be away this coming weekend.
