4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Programming the Weekly Timer
The timer allows you to set ON/OFF periods for each day of the week. The shortest switching time is 2 hours, with a switching precision of +/- 30 minutes.
- Identify Segments: The programming dial has segments around its circumference. Each segment represents a specific time interval.
- Set ON Periods: To set an appliance to turn ON, push the corresponding segments outwards. These pushed-out segments represent the time when the appliance will be powered.
- Set OFF Periods: To set an appliance to turn OFF, leave the corresponding segments in their inward position. These inward segments represent the time when the appliance will not be powered.
- Review Program: Once all desired ON/OFF periods are set for the week, ensure the manual override switch is in the timer position (often indicated by a clock symbol or "I").
4.2 Manual Override Switch
The manual override switch on the side of the timer allows you to temporarily bypass the programmed settings:
- Timer Mode (Clock Symbol / "I"): The timer operates according to the programmed ON/OFF settings.
- Always ON Mode ("O"): The connected appliance will remain continuously powered, regardless of the programmed settings.
- Always OFF Mode ("II"): The connected appliance will remain continuously unpowered, regardless of the programmed settings.
5. Maintenance
The Legrand OmniRex Mechanical Weekly 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 abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: If storing the timer for an extended period, keep it in a dry, dust-free environment.
