Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your TEMPO DI SALDI 24-Hour Programmable Timer Outlet. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.
The TEMPO DI SALDI programmable timer allows you to automate the power supply to electrical appliances, scheduling them to turn on and off at specific times throughout a 24-hour cycle. This can be used for various applications, such as controlling lighting, heating systems, or other household devices.

- Do not immerse the timer in water or expose it to excessive moisture.
- Do not open or attempt to repair the timer. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Ensure the timer is securely plugged into a wall outlet before connecting an appliance.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Unplug the timer from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Product Overview
The TEMPO DI SALDI 24-Hour Programmable Timer Outlet features a mechanical dial for setting schedules and a universal socket for connecting appliances.

Components:
- 24-Hour Dial: Marked with hours from 1 to 24, used for setting the current time and programming on/off cycles.
- Timing Pins/Levers: Small, push-down segments around the dial. Each segment typically represents 15 or 30 minutes. Pushed down means "ON" during that period.
- Manual Override Switch: (This model primarily relies on the pins for control.)
- Output Socket: Where you plug in the appliance to be controlled.
- Input Plug: Connects the timer to the wall power outlet.
Setup Instructions
- Set Current Time: Rotate the 24-hour dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow or indicator mark on the timer's face. The dial is marked from 1 to 24 (representing 1 AM to 12 AM).
- Program ON/OFF Times:
- Locate the small pins (levers) around the circumference of the dial. Each pin represents a time interval (e.g., 15 minutes).
- To set a period for the appliance to be ON, push the corresponding pins down.
- To set a period for the appliance to be OFF, leave the corresponding pins in the up position.
- You can program multiple ON/OFF cycles within the 24-hour period.
- Connect to Power: Plug the timer into a standard 220V - 50/60Hz wall outlet.
- Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the timer's output socket. Ensure the appliance's power switch is set to the "ON" position if it has one, so the timer can control its power supply.
Note: The timer's internal clock will start running once it is plugged into a live outlet. If power is interrupted for an extended period, the clock may lose accuracy and require resetting the current time.
Operating Instructions
Once set up, the timer will automatically turn the connected appliance ON and OFF according to your programmed schedule. The dial will continuously rotate, and as the current time aligns with the pushed-down pins, power will be supplied to the appliance. When the current time aligns with the up-position pins, power will be cut off.
Manual Override (if applicable):
Some models may include a manual override switch (e.g., ON/TIMER/OFF). If your model has one, you can use it to temporarily bypass the programmed schedule:
- ON: The appliance will remain continuously ON, regardless of the timer settings.
- TIMER: The timer will operate according to the programmed schedule.
- OFF: The appliance will remain continuously OFF, regardless of the timer settings.
This specific model primarily relies on the pins for scheduling. Ensure pins are correctly set for desired operation.
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.
- Regular Check: Periodically check the timer and its connections for any signs of damage or wear.
