This image displays the Intermatic Time-All Random On/Off 24 Hour Security Timer, Model SB711C, still in its clear plastic retail packaging. The timer features a circular dial with hour markings (AM/PM) and a series of small pins around its circumference for setting on/off times. The packaging highlights key features such as '2 ON/OFF SETTINGS PER DAY' and 'RANDOM ON/OFF 24 HOUR SECURITY TIMER'.

Setup

1. Unpack the Timer: Carefully remove the timer from its packaging.
2. Set Current Time: Rotate the outer dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator on the timer's face. The dial is marked with AM and PM for accurate setting.
3. Program ON/OFF Times:
   • Locate the small pins around the circumference of the dial.
   • Push the red pins inward for the desired ON times.
   • Push the black pins inward for the desired OFF times.
   • Each pin represents a specific time interval. Ensure pins are fully engaged for proper operation.
4. Plug into Outlet: Insert the timer into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.
5. Connect Appliance: Plug the lamp or appliance you wish to control into the receptacle on the timer.

Operation

1. Automatic Operation: Once the current time is set and ON/OFF pins are engaged, the timer will automatically turn the connected appliance on and off according to the programmed schedule.
2. Random Feature: The timer incorporates a random on/off function. This means that while it will adhere to your set ON/OFF periods, the exact start and end times may vary slightly each day to create a less predictable pattern, enhancing security.
3. Manual Override: The timer includes a manual override switch. This switch allows you to temporarily turn the connected appliance ON or OFF, regardless of the programmed settings, without disturbing the timer's schedule. Simply toggle the switch to the desired position. The timer will resume its programmed schedule at the next ON or OFF event.

Maintenance

To maintain your Intermatic Time-All timer, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the timer in water. Ensure the timer's vents (if any) remain clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not turn ON/OFF at programmed times:
  • Check if the timer is securely plugged into a live outlet.
  • Verify that the appliance itself is working and properly plugged into the timer.
  • Ensure the current time is set correctly on the dial.
  • Confirm that the red (ON) and black (OFF) pins are fully pushed inward at the desired times.
  • Check the manual override switch; ensure it is not set to continuously ON or OFF, overriding the program.
• Timer dial is not rotating:
  • Ensure the timer is plugged into a live power source.
  • If the timer is new, it may take a few minutes for the mechanism to start moving.
  • If the issue persists, the timer may require service.
