Detailed Operating Instructions
Part Description
1
TIMER SEGMENT BUTTONS: These segments, each
representing 30 minutes, can be pushed down from the
edge of the dial, and are used to program the timer ON/
OFF times. DOWN = ON UP=OFF
2
ROTATING TIMER DIAL: This dial can only be turned
clockwise. It points to the current time of day.
3
TIME READOUT: Displays each hour of the day (nighttime
hours are shown with a shaded background, while
daylight hours are shown with white).
4
MASTER SWITCH: TIMER ON=Activates timer control of
the device being used, OUTLET ON=Overrides the timer
and enables normal use of the outlet.
Problem Solution
The pins cannot be
pushed down.
Ensure the pins are not already
down or in the “TIME NOW”
range (shown on the rotating
timer dial).
The device does not turn ON. Ensure the device power switch
is in the ON position.
The device turns ON/OFF
during the day instead
of night (or night
instead of day).
Ensure the AM/PM time and
program settings are correct.
The device turns ON early
or late.
Manually turn the rotating timer
dial to cycle the timer ON or OFF
at the correct time.
NOTE: See operating section for more instructions.
NOTE: Ensure all segments are pulled up prior
to programming.
NOTE: Nighttime hours from 6:30PM to 6:30AM
are highlighted with a grey background.
NOTE: 30 minute programable pins.
DOWN = ON
UP = OFF
NOTE: Ensure all segments are pulled up prior
to programming.
NOTE: Nighttime hours from 6:30PM to 6:30AM
are highlighted with a grey background.
NOTE: To override the timer and use your device
normally, set the master switch to the OUTLET ON
position. This will deactivate timer control of the device.
To reactivate timer control, ensure the device is turned
ON, and set the timer master switch to TIMER ON.
In case of power failure, reset the time of day as
explained in step 1.
NOTE: This is a POLARIZED device.
It has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other) and a polarized outlet (one slot is longer than
the other). The polarized plug is not intended to be
mated with non-polarized outlets (where both slots are
the same size). A polarized outlet is intended to mate
with a polarized plug in only one way — the longer slot
with the wider blade.
