Key Components:

  • Time Dial: The central rotating dial marked with hours (0-24) for current time setting.
  • Program Segments/Sliders: Small, fixed segments around the time dial that can be pushed in or pulled out to set ON/OFF periods.
  • ON/TIMER Switch: A toggle switch to select between continuous ON operation or programmed timer operation.
  • Power Outlet: The socket on the front of the timer where the appliance is plugged in.
  • Power Plug: The prongs on the back of the timer for plugging into a wall outlet.

4. Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the timer from its packaging.
  2. Plug In: Insert the timer into a standard 230V AC wall outlet.
  3. Set Current Time: Rotate the time dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow or marker on the timer's face. The dial rotates continuously, so ensure you set the correct AM/PM equivalent if your dial uses a 24-hour format.
  4. Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the power outlet on the front of the timer. Ensure the appliance's power switch is in the "ON" position if it has one.

5. Operating Instructions

Setting the Timer Program:

The timer uses fixed segments around the dial to set ON/OFF periods. Each segment typically represents a specific time interval (e.g., 15 or 30 minutes).

  1. Identify Segments: Locate the small, pushable segments around the outer edge of the time dial.
  2. Set ON Periods: Push the segments inward for the time periods you want the appliance to be ON.
  3. Set OFF Periods: Leave the segments outward for the time periods you want the appliance to be OFF.
  4. Example: If each segment is 15 minutes, and you want an appliance to turn on from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, push in all segments corresponding to that 2-hour period.

Selecting Operation Mode:

Use the 2-level ON/TIMER switch to select the desired operation mode:

  • ON Position: The appliance will remain continuously ON, overriding any set timer programs.
  • TIMER Position: The appliance will operate according to the ON/OFF program you have set using the segments.

The timer mechanism will continuously rotate, advancing the time dial and activating/deactivating the appliance based on the pushed-in segments when the switch is in the TIMER position.

6. Maintenance

The Legrand LEG95861 Timer requires minimal maintenance.

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the timer from the power outlet before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use.
