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 plug 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 First Use
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.
p Description of Controls
The timer is rainproof when held in the upright position using the support.
Light sensor
The LED illuminates when power is applied to the controlled appliance.
Navigation and adjustment buttons
Press briefly to apply or cut power to the controlled appliance.
Press for 3 seconds to enter or exit the setup menu.
n Hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds to enter the menu. The Mode menu will flash.
o Press the On/Off button briefly. The current mode will flash on the screen.
p Press the 
button repeatedly until the desired mode flashes on the screen.
q Hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds to exit the menu.
NOTE: The timer automatically returns to its normal display if you do not press any button for 60 seconds.
4.1 Manual mode 
The timer operates like a regular switch. It applies or cut power to the appliance when you press the On/Off button.
4.2Automatic mode 
The timer applies and cuts power to the appliance at the desired times by means of a program. Power is applied at the start of the program and is cut at the end of the program. By default, the program starts at 6:00 pm and ends at 11:00 pm. see section 6 on how to set the start program time and end program time.
4.3Automatic mode with temperature threshold 
When the timer is plugged to an outdoor outlet, this mode is used to activate an appliance such as an engine block heater or gutter heating cables when the temperature drops. Heating starts when both following conditions are met:
•The program has started.
•The temperature threshold is reached (see the different
temperature threshold options in the following table). The 
icon flashes when the threshold is not reached.
See section 6 for program setting and temperature threshold selection.
Temperature Threshold |
Recommended Applications |
|
|
-12 °C (10 °F) [default] |
gas engine block heaters |
|
|
-6 °C (21 °F) |
diesel engine block heaters |
|
|
3 °C (37 °F) |
gutter heating cables |
|
|
Heating will stop at the end of the program or when the temperature rises above the threshold by a few degrees. However, heating will resume if the temperature drops again before the end of the program.
CAUTION: Do not use the timer for temperature control applications.
q Setting the Mode of Operation
You can set the timer in any of the following modes:
Manual mode
Automatic mode (default mode)
Automatic mode with temperature threshold
Automatic mode with darkness threshold
Sunset/sunrise mode
To switch mode, use the programming menu. For example, to switch from Automatic mode to Manual mode:
4.4Automatic mode with darkness threshold 
When the timer is plugged to an outlet exposed to daylight, this mode is used to turn lights on at sunset and turn them off at a set time. The lights turn on when both following conditions are met:
•The program has started (see section 6).
•The darkness threshold is reached. The 
icon flashes when the darkness threshold is not reached.
The lights will turn off at the end of the program.
NOTE: Ensure that the timer is positioned such that the light sensor is pointing to an area that is undisturbed by car lights, outdoor lights, etc.
