This document describes the Jewenwils Outdoor Digital Countdown Timer, model HODT12C, an instruction manual for a device designed to provide timed power control for outdoor applications.

Function Description

The Jewenwils Outdoor Digital Countdown Timer is a device that allows users to control power to connected appliances for specific durations, primarily for outdoor use. It features a light sensor that enables it to operate based on dusk and dawn cycles, as well as a manual override for immediate power control. The timer is designed to be mounted in a vertical position with the receptacles facing downward and at least 2ft above the ground level. It is not intended for immersion in water and should not be disassembled or repaired by unauthorized personnel.

The primary function of the timer is to provide automated power control. Users can select from various operating modes:

No Power (F): The device is off.
Power Constantly On (O): The device provides continuous power.
On at dusk, Set off time for 1-9 hours (1 to 9): The device turns on at dusk and automatically turns off after a user-selected duration of 1 to 9 hours. This cycle repeats every 24 hours.
On automatically at dusk and off at dawn (d): The device turns on at dusk and remains on until dawn. This cycle repeats every 24 hours.
On immediately, Set off time for 1-9 hours (1. to 9.): The device turns on immediately and automatically turns off after a user-selected duration of 1 to 9 hours. This cycle repeats every 24 hours.

When operating in specific modes (on at dusk or on immediately), the program cycle will be completed even if light sources interfere with the program cycle. This indicates a degree of resilience to external light conditions once a cycle has begun.
