In other words, how much is the current running through the remote switch plug? The (digital) time switch I try to install doesnt function now. As said, the maximum switch capacity is 1800 watts or <8A. I have tested the system with a normal light switch and then it all works. I suspect the time switch is flawed, but Im not sure.
If you mean the little remote jumper, you may be overthinking it - there's no real current flowing through the remote jumper. Most remote switching is accomplished by just interrupting the continuity between the L pin and H pin of the jumper; when continuity is present, the unit is on and following its programming, when continuity is interrupted the unit is off.
Alternatively you can use the high- or low-side switching as described in the manual.
Thank you for your rapid answer. I indeed meant the little remote jumper and was already afraid I was overthinking it/asking stupid questions. But I had to be shure since the setup didnt work with the time switch. The thing is probably just broken, since it looked already used when I unpacked it. Ill order another one now and then hopefully I can enjoy a fully automated "night mode" on my system soon. Thanks a lot!
Thanks, Sarah. Unfortunately I dont have one those. So Im looking at about €500 for a Cerbo/Touch combi against €29 for the timer switch (which I like to be able to operate manually also). But Ill find a way ...
