Dual Band 2.4GHz / 5GHz Wi-Fi Connectivity
A major advantage of the Timeguard TW1001 Dual Band Wi-Fi Fused Spur Timer is its ability to connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks.
Unlike earlier Wi-Fi fused spur timers limited to 2.4GHz, the TW1001 supports dual-band connectivity, providing more flexibility when connecting to compatible home or workplace routers.
Bluetooth-assisted discovery is also supported during initial setup, helping users identify and pair the device through the Tuya Smart app.
Tuya Smart App Control and Programmable Timer
The TW1001 uses the Tuya Smart app to provide wireless control of connected electrical appliances. Once connected to a suitable network, users can manage the fused spur remotely from a compatible smartphone or tablet.
Available timer functions include:
- Daily scheduling – select individual ON and OFF times.
- Weekly programming – repeat schedules on chosen days.
- Countdown mode – automatically change the switching state after a selected period.
- Manual ON/OFF control – operate connected equipment whenever required.
- Multiple device control – manage compatible devices from one app.
- Shared access – allow multiple users to operate the device.
Amazon Alexa and Google Home Integration
The Timeguard TW1001 is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home through the Tuya Smart platform. This enables supported voice-controlled switching and integration with compatible smart-home devices.
Smart-home assistant functions depend on the continued availability of the relevant third-party services.
13A Fused Protection and Double Pole Isolation
The TW1001 incorporates a replaceable BS1362 13A fuse to protect the connected appliance circuit. Its double pole rocker switch provides local isolation of the switched live and neutral conductors.
The unit is designed for 220–240V AC, 50Hz installations and is rated for a maximum resistive load of 13A (approximately 3kW).
Other permitted load ratings depend on the connected equipment type, including LED, fluorescent and incandescent lighting. Always check the manufacturer’s specified load limits before installation.
Suitable Applications
The Timeguard TW1001 Dual Band Wi-Fi Fused Spur Timer can be used for a range of fixed electrical installations where remote switching or scheduled operation is beneficial.
- Suitable fixed electrical appliances requiring timed operation
- Compatible electric heating and other resistive loads
- Lighting circuits within the manufacturer’s specified load ratings
- Domestic smart-home installations
- Light commercial appliance control
- Equipment requiring scheduled ON/OFF switching
Connected appliances must be suitable for automatic switching and must not exceed the product’s electrical ratings.
Installation and Compatible Back Boxes
The TW1001 is designed to replace a suitable single-gang fused connection unit or fixed appliance outlet. It can be installed in a flush-mounted wall box or surface-mounted pattress box, with a minimum back box depth of 25mm.
For installations requiring a suitable mounting box, explore our range of:
- Metal Back Boxes – for suitable flush-mounted installations in solid walls.
- Dry Lining Boxes – for compatible plasterboard wall installations.
- Pattress Boxes – for suitable surface-mounted installations.
Although the manufacturer specifies a minimum depth of 25mm, a deeper back box may provide additional wiring space depending on the installation and cable arrangement.
Installation must comply with the current edition of BS 7671 and applicable Building Regulations.
