Sangamo timer clock not working

[rolyberkin]

I have a client who has one of the below, I have never worked on one. He states that it is not switching on the lights although the emergency light part of the lighting is apparently being charged, he has re set the timer etc. Does anyone work on these a lot and is there any quick solutions or probable likely causes before I drive out to it please?

manually turn the dial and you should see and hear it switching.check for volts on the output side. also, check to see if the clock is actually running.

What Tel said. And there is sometimes a red over ride button on the side wich will bypass the clock. Wich might assist you in fault finding.
The emergency lighting should be on a pernament supply and not off the switched side of the timer.

It may be from what you describe that a contactor is energised by the timer switch that is not working???

and might there be a photocell in series with the clock???

The solar clocks are a cool design, unfortunately the newer ones have a battery backup, the battery often leaks all over the PCB after a few years, destroying the circuitry.
