CLIPSAL 2031VETR3 | ELECTRONIC TIME DELAY PUSH BUTTON SWITCH | SERIES 2000
CLIPSAL BY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC | ELECTRONIC TIME DELAY PUSH BUTTON SWITCH 10A 250V SERIES 2000 | WHITE ELECTRIC COMPLETE The Clipsal by Schneider Electric 2031VETR3 is an electronic time delay push button switch rated 250V 10A, with a delay adjustable from 10 seconds to 15 hours. The 2031VETR3 is a 3-wire timer with a remote switch input, a neon indicator, and a programmable normally open or normally closed output. It is supplied complete as a Series 2000 gridplate and surround in White Electric, measuring 116mm by 76mm on 84mm mounting centres. Lights left running in pantries, stairwells, storerooms and toilets burn energy in spaces occupied for minutes, not hours. The 2031VETR3 drops into the same plate footprint as a standard switch and turns the load off after a set delay of 10 seconds to 15 hours. Because the output is programmable as normally open or normally closed, the timer can be wired to suit either state of the controlled circuit. It also carries no minimum load and is rated for incandescent and fluorescent lighting. Licensed electricians specify the 2031VETR3 where a client keeps ringing about lights burning all night in a common area. The remote input means any number of momentary push buttons can trigger the timer from other locations, so a stairwell or corridor gets multiple control points without a second timer. It lands on standard Series 2000 mounting hardware and 84mm mounting centres, so a retrofit uses the wall box already in the wall. Each terminal takes 2 x 2.5mm2 cables, which keeps the fit-off tidy in a single-gang box. Features 10 second to 15 hour delay — the 2031VETR3 covers a short stairwell run through to an overnight cycle on the one adjustment. 3-wire connection — wires active, neutral and switched load, so the timer holds a permanent supply for its electronics. Programmable NO or NC output — set the output as normally open or normally closed to suit the circuit being switched. Remote push-button input — any number of momentary push-button switches wire between the remote terminal and neutral to trigger the timer. Programmable neon state — the neon indicator can be set to show either load on or load off at the plate. No minimum load — the 2031VETR3 has no minimum load requirement, unlike timers that need a holding current to stay latched. Toggle to cancel — pressing the push button again cancels the timer and drops the load before the set delay expires. Standard plate footprint — 116mm by 76mm gridplate and surround on 84mm mounting centres, matching the rest of the Series 2000 range. Terminal capacity — every terminal takes 2 x 2.5mm2 cables, with a 29mm base projection behind the plate. Rated 250V 10A — carries incandescent and fluorescent lighting loads up to 10A on a 250V circuit. White Electric finish — the moulded surround clips off for painting or wallpapering and clips back on without marking the gridplate. Flush mounting only — the 2031VETR3 is a flush indoor gridplate with no weatherproof rating, so exposed and wet locations are out. Where to use Stairwells and common areas — apartment and walk-up stair lighting where a timed run stops lights burning through the night. Toilets and powder rooms — the 2031VETR3 gives a fixed run time in rooms occupied for a few minutes at a time. Pantries and storerooms — a short delay clears the light after the door closes, without anyone flicking the switch back. Corridors and passageways — remote push buttons at each end trigger the same timer, so the run lights from either approach. Commercial amenities — staff toilets, cleaners' cupboards and plant rooms where lighting gets left on unattended after hours. Site sheds and workshops — timed lighting on a 10A circuit where the last person out rarely remembers the switch. Retrofit switch upgrades — the 2031VETR3 swaps into an existing single-gang wall box on 84mm centres in place of a standard switch. The 2031VETR3 is a flush indoor gridplate with no weatherproof IP rating, so it is not suitable for outdoor, damp or exposed locations. It is rated for incandescent and fluorescent lighting and is not specified for motor loads or ceiling fan speed control. Do not fit it where water can reach the plate, such as a laundry tub wall or an unprotected external wall.
