4. Product Overview
The Chacon 54005 features a rotating dial for weekly programming, a manual override switch, and a standard electrical socket.
- Programming Dial: A large rotating dial with segments representing 2-hour intervals for each day of the week.
- Segments/Pins: Small, push-down segments around the dial used to set ON/OFF periods.
- Manual Override Switch: Located on the side, this switch allows you to bypass the timer settings.
- Socket: The outlet where you plug in the appliance to be controlled.
- Plug: Connects the programmer to a wall outlet.
5. Setup
- Set Current Time: Rotate the programming dial clockwise until the current day and time align with the indicator arrow (usually a small triangle or line on the programmer's body).
- Plug In: Insert the programmer into a standard wall electrical socket.
6. Operating Instructions
- Program ON/OFF Periods:
- Each segment on the dial represents a 2-hour interval.
- To set an appliance to turn ON, push the corresponding segments down for the desired time period.
- To set an appliance to remain OFF, leave the corresponding segments in the up position.
- You can set between 1 and 42 ON/OFF cycles per week.
- Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the socket on the front of the programmer. Ensure the appliance's own power switch is in the ON position.
- Use Manual Override Switch: The side switch allows you to manually control the power output, overriding the programmed settings. Use this for continuous power or to keep the appliance off regardless of the timer.
Note: The programmer operates on 2-hour intervals. For precise timing, consider the cumulative effect of these intervals.
7. Maintenance
