2. Setup and Installation

1. Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the lamp fitting is completely switched off at the main circuit breaker or wall switch.
2. Install Timer: Carefully screw the POWERplus Lampbase Timer into your existing E27 lamp fitting until it is securely in place. Do not overtighten.
3. Install Light Bulb: Screw your E27 light bulb (incandescent, energy-saving, or LED) into the E27 socket of the timer.
4. Optional Adapter: If your lamp fitting uses a B22 bayonet base, an appropriate B22 to E27 adapter (not included) will be required. First, install the adapter into the B22 fitting, then screw the timer into the adapter, and finally the bulb into the timer.

This image shows a white B22 bayonet to E27 screw adapter. This accessory allows the Powerplus Lampbase Timer (which has an E27 base) to be used with lamp fittings designed for B22 bayonet bulbs.

3. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once the timer and bulb are installed, restore power to the lamp fitting. The light should turn on.
2. Set Timer Duration: Rotate the dial on the side of the timer to select your desired shut-off time. The available settings range from 5 to 60 minutes.
3. Automatic Shut-off: The light will remain on for the selected duration and then automatically switch off.
4. Warning Tone: Approximately 2 minutes before the timer expires and the light switches off, an audible signal will sound. This provides a warning to the user.
5. Extend Lighting Period: If you need to extend the lighting period, briefly switch the light off and then on again using the wall switch. The timer will reset and restart the previously set duration.

4. Maintenance
