Round Dial-Type Timer
:
Features:
- Press to manually turn lights on or off without upsetting the settings.
- Easy to set
- Handles only 500 watts or less of light.
- Memory of 15 minutes without power, then you need to reset it.
- Minimum wattage: 40 watts. This means that you cannot use low wattage fluorescent screw-in bulbs.
Helpful Hint
: There is a red indicator light on the timer. In normal operation (not while in the programing mode) the red indicator light shows the status.
Flashing: The program has been lost, perhaps due to a power failure of over 15 minutes.
Off: The timer may be in Manual mode. (see below). Or all the bulbs may be burned out.
On: Timer is in automatic timer mode.
If the light is not on:
- Press the button twice quickly. This is how you change from 'Timer mode' to 'Manual mode' (without losing the memory of the program setting). Repeat to return to the other mode. Perhaps someone changed the mode accidentally.
- Make sure the light bulbs are good. (You need a least one working bulb (over 40 watts) for the timer (and indicator light) to work.
- Try reprogramming the timer. If this doesn't do it, call us to replace it.
Programming:
- Slide the control lever to the left to Off-Clear for at least 5 seconds. The red indicator light will go off and any program settings will be lost.
- Move the lever to the right to On. Red indicator light will start flashing.
- Rotate the clock dial (at least 1 click) to the 1/2 hour closet to the present time. Be aware of AM and PM. Be sure not to accidentally press the button while rotating it.
- Press the button in once to enter (set) the current time. The Red indicator will go Off.
- Rotate the clock dial until the desired ON time. (Red light blinks once for each click.)
- Press push button to enter the ON time. The controlled light will turn on.
- Rotate dial to the desired OFF time.
- Press dial to enter the OFF time. The controlled light will now be off.
- Repeat steps 5-8 if you wish to set another automatic time, for example an early morning setting.
- Continue to rotate the dial for at least 24 hours (2 full turns) from the first ON time to complete the programming. The Red indicator light will come on and stay on.
(Note: if you press the dial once now, the red light may go off, and then if you press the dial again, the red light comes back on. From then on, the red light stays on even if you press the dial to turn on the light and then once to turn it off. We don’t have an explanation for the red indicator light going off the first time you press the dial, it just is a quirk of the program.)
Note that the dial will not turn automatically to indicate the current time of day. The clock indications are only for programming purposes.
