4. Operation

• Decide what times you would like the time switch
to switch ON and OFF.

• Insert a pin in the Inner Circle for an ON period.

• Insert a pin in the Outer Circle for an OFF period.

Important: The pins should be pushed fully
home or they will catch on the underside of
the protective lobes on the bottom of the
front socket face (See diagram “A”).

• The minimum switching interval is 30 minutes,
and this can be increased in 15 minute steps.

• Set the correct time of day by rotating the dial
clockwise, until the correct time is indicated by
the Time indicator located on the left centre of
the time switch (See diagram “A”).

• Plug the time controller into a socket and switch
socket ON if necessary.

• Plug your appliance into the time controller
and switch the appliance ON.

Manual Override

• It is possible to manually override the
programmed time by operating the override
switch located in the bottom left hand corner
of the plug-in timer.

• 1 = ON. O = OFF.

• If you use the manual override it will self-cancel
at the next programmed time.

• The override switch cannot be used within
15 minutes either side of a switching time.

Points to note

• Each time the time controller has carried out an
automatic switching operation the manual switch
cannot be operated for about 15 minutes before,
and after, automatic switching because it will be
mechanically locked for this period.

• If required you can programme your time
controller to switch OFF only by inserting just a
single pin. For many electrical appliances you can,
therefore, programme for OFF only to ensure that
if you forget to switch the appliance off nothing

can be damaged or unnecessary power used.

When using this technique switch on by hand
using the self-cancelling override switch.

• The Programme ring can be turned even when
the time controller is operating. In case of a
power failure, please re-adjust the time controller
to the correct time of day, turning the dial in
a clockwise direction.
