Home Security Timer

INSTRUCTIONS:

When the timer is plugged in, the timer’s dial will turn clockwise. The pointer on the face of the
timer points to the current time of the current day of the week.

1. Locate the segments around on the outer edge of the timer’s dial. These segments, each
representing approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, can be pushed down and away from the edge of
the dial (try using the tip of a pen or pencil). Conversely, segments that have been pushed down
can be easily pushed back up by hand. Be sure all segments are pushed up before programming.
Select a time period (or periods) you want the lamp turned on, then push down ALL the segments
that fall on or within that time period. For example, to have the timer turn a lamp on at 2PM
Saturday and off at 10PM Saturday, push down the segments nearest to 2PM Saturday and
10PM Saturday, and ALL the segments in between. [See Figure 1.] You may need to turn the
dial clockwise to access the desired segments.

2. Rotate the timer’s dial clockwise until the pointer on the face of the dial points to the current
time of day. Nighttime hours (from Noon to Midnight) are highlighted with a blue background.

3. Set master switch to the TIMER ON position.

4. Plug the timer into an electrical outlet convenient to the lamp to be controlled.

5. Plug the lamp into the outlet on the bottom of the timer. Turn the lamp’s switch on for automatic
control. The timer will not turn the lamp on if the lamp’s switch is off. The lamp will now turn on
and off at the times on the days you have set.

NOTE: To override the timer and use your lamp normally, set the switch at the top of the timer to
the OUTLET ON position. This will deactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, but the timer’s dial
will still show the current day and time. To reactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, turn the
lamp’s switch on and set the timer’s switch to TIMER ON. In case of power failure, reset the day
and time as explained in step 2.

DO NOT PLUG IN MORE THAN THE RATED LOAD (SEE RATINGS).
To find total watts being used: If watts are not marked on the appliance, multiply ampere rating

(on nameplate) by 120 volts to determine equivalent watts. For lamps with multiple bulbs, sum
wattage on bulbs.

This is a POLARIZED device. It has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and a
polarized outlet (one slot is longer than the other). The polarized plug is not intended to be mated
with non-polarized outlets (where both slots are the same size). A polarized outlet is intended to
mate with a polarized plug in only one way — the longer slot with the wider blade.

ON again at 2 PM Sunday and OFF at 6 PM Sunday. Current time is 3 AM Wednesday.
