This document describes a Q-LINK Timer, a mechanical timer designed for controlling electrical appliances. It is a versatile device suitable for various applications, offering both manual and programmable timing functions.
Function Description
The Q-LINK Timer allows users to set specific ON/OFF times for connected electrical devices. It operates on a 24-hour cycle, enabling daily repetition of programmed schedules. The timer features a rotating dial with printed hours for easy time setting and pins that can be pressed down to activate the "ON" state for programmed intervals. The device is designed for indoor use and is splash-proof, making it suitable for environments where minor water splashes might occur.

Usage Features
The timer is designed for straightforward operation, with clear instructions provided in English, Dutch, German, and French.
General Safety Precautions:
- Do not plug in a row: This implies that the timer should not be daisy-chained with other timers or power strips in a way that could overload the circuit.
- Voltage-free when the mains plug is pulled out only: This is a critical safety warning, indicating that the device is only truly de-energized when physically disconnected from the power outlet.
- Do not use if covered: Covering the timer could lead to overheating and potential fire hazards.
- Splash-proof: While it has an IP44 rating, it is not waterproof and should not be submerged or exposed to heavy water spray.
Setting the Time:
- Locate the setting ring with the printed hours (1) on the timer's dial.
- Turn this ring clockwise until the arrow mark (2), located inside the ring, points to the current time. This aligns the internal clock with the actual time of day.
Setting the Switching Program:
- Identify the pins (3) located around the circumference of the setting ring.
- To program an "ON" period, press the desired pins downwards. Each pin represents a 30-minute interval. For example, if you want a device to be ON for one hour, you would press down two consecutive pins.
- The example provided (18-20 h) indicates that if pins corresponding to 6 PM to 8 PM are pressed down, the connected appliance will be active during that two-hour window.
Manual Override (OFF/ON Switch):
The timer includes a manual switch, typically labeled "OFF" and "ON" (or sometimes "OFF", "ON", and a timer symbol). This switch allows you to bypass the programmed schedule and manually turn the connected appliance ON or OFF.
- OFF: The appliance remains off, regardless of the timer program.
- ON: The appliance remains on, regardless of the timer program.
- Timer Symbol (or "OFF ON" position): The appliance operates according to the set program.
Maintenance Features
The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance procedures for the device itself, suggesting it is a low-maintenance product. However, it provides crucial information regarding the disposal of the product at the end of its life cycle.
Disposal Information:
- Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. This aligns with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, which aims to prevent electronic waste from ending up in landfills.
- Please recycle where facilities exist. Users are encouraged to utilize available recycling facilities for electrical products.
- Check with your Local Authority for recycling advice. This advises users to consult their local municipal authorities for specific guidance on how and where to recycle electrical waste in their area.
This information is provided in multiple languages (English, Dutch, German, French) to ensure broad understanding and compliance with environmental regulations. The presence of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the manual further reinforces the message about not disposing of the product in regular household waste.
