Sunvic 307 XLS losing time

    I have just moved into a new house and there is a Sunvic 307 XLS timer for the CH & HW. Everything is working fine except for one thing - keeping time. It's losing time hand over fist; approx 12 hours in a 24 hour period.

    Is this an issue with the actual unit, or is it something that could be rectified in the unit?

    Ta, David

    The timer may be wired incorrect if its an ongoing issue. If its only a recent issue then new timer as advised previously.

    Unfortunately we've only been in the house from Monday and the previous owners never used the timer, they just used boost when they wanted heating.

    Would it be a simple enough job to check the wiring? There wasn't a manual left...

    Id recommend get an electrician as timers can be tricky but if wired correct they are fine. The fact its loosing time rapidly may indicate permanent/switched wires are crossed or wired wrong hence the clock loosing time from lack of permanent supply. You could select the relevant settings and observe i.e turn clock:

    constant on - clock stays on
    timed on - clock only comes on with selected times
    constant off - clock remains off

    A multimeter is best practice - the above are only suggestions to observe very basic functions.
