Installation and User Guide

Programmable Multi-purpose Timer

n

The TI062 timer can be used indoors and outdoors to control lighting,
motors and block heaters. The timer provides 5 modes of operation:

NOTE 1: Suitable for use with outdoor appliances. Store indoors
when not in use.

NOTE 2: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the timer has a
grounding-type plug, which has a third (grounding) pin. This p lug will
fit only in a grounding-type outlet. If the plug does not fit in the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

o

Plug the timer in an electrical outlet before setting it for the first time.
The clock flashes to indicate that it must be set*. When the timer has
been charged for at least 2 hours, it can be unplugged for several
minutes without losing the time. The other settings are saved at all
times.

* The clock will still tick even if it is not set. When this happens, the

on/off times of the controlled appliance might be shifted.
