- Install Wall Plate: Attach a standard wall plate (not included) over the timer.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Note: The ST01 is designed for flush mounting and requires a standard electrical wall box.
5. Initial Setup and Programming
Upon initial power-up or after a power outage, the timer's internal CR2 lithium battery maintains settings, but you may need to set the current time and program schedules.
- Set Current Time:
- Press the CLOCK button.
- Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to adjust the current time. The display operates in a 12-hour format (AM/PM).
- Press CLOCK again to save and exit.
- Program ON/OFF Schedules: The ST01 allows for multiple ON/OFF programs over a 24-hour period.
- Press the PROG button. The display will show "1 ON".
- Use HOUR and MINUTE buttons to set the desired ON time for program 1.
- Press PROG again. The display will show "1 OFF".
- Use HOUR and MINUTE buttons to set the desired OFF time for program 1.
- Repeat for additional programs (e.g., "2 ON", "2 OFF", etc.) as needed.
- Press CLOCK to save all programs and return to normal operation.
Refer to the timer's LCD display for visual cues during programming.
6. Operating the Timer
Once programmed, the ST01 timer will automatically switch connected devices ON and OFF according to your set schedules. You can also manually override the timer:
- Manual ON/OFF: Press the MANUAL button to cycle through ON, OFF, and AUTO modes.
- ON: The connected device will remain ON, overriding all programs.
- OFF: The connected device will remain OFF, overriding all programs.
- AUTO: The timer will operate according to the programmed schedules. This is the default operating mode.
- Random Mode (if available): Some models may include a random mode for security. Consult the specific model's features if this is desired.
7. Maintenance
The Intermatic ST01 timer requires minimal maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the timer's surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery: The internal CR2 lithium battery maintains time and program settings during power outages. This battery is typically long-lasting and not user-replaceable. If the display becomes dim or settings are lost frequently, professional servicing may be required.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the timer and wall plate for any signs of damage or loose connections.
8. Troubleshooting
