3. Product Overview

The BEMKO B62-TSMD20 is an analog plug-in timer designed for simple and reliable control of electrical devices. It features a 24-hour dial for setting daily programs and a manual override switch.

Figure 1: Front view of the BEMKO B62-TSMD20 TS SCHUKO Plug-in Timer. The image displays the timer with a central Schuko type electrical socket. This socket is surrounded by a rotating 24-hour dial marked with numbers from 1 to 24 (or AM/PM indications) and small, push-down pins along its circumference for setting time intervals. A manual override switch is visible on the right side of the white casing.

Key Components:

• Schuko Socket: For plugging in the appliance to be controlled.
• 24-Hour Dial: Rotates clockwise, marked with hours and minutes.
• Program Pins: Small segments around the dial, each representing 15 minutes.
• Manual Override Switch: Allows for continuous ON, continuous OFF, or timer-controlled operation.

4. Setup

1. Plug In: Insert the BEMKO B62-TSMD20 timer into a standard 230V/50Hz wall outlet.
2. Set Current Time: Rotate the 24-hour dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow or marker on the timer's body. Ensure you distinguish between AM and PM hours (e.g., 3 PM is 15:00).
3. Set Program:
   • Each segment (pin) on the dial represents 15 minutes.
   • To set an 'ON' period, push the corresponding pins downwards.
   • To set an 'OFF' period, leave the corresponding pins in the upward position.
   • For example, to turn an appliance ON from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM, push down all four pins between the 7 and 8 o'clock marks.
4. Connect Appliance: Plug the appliance you wish to control into the Schuko socket on the front of the timer.

5. Operating Instructions

Manual Override Switch:

The manual override switch, typically located on the side of the timer, allows you to control the power output independently of the set program. It usually has three positions:

• Timer Mode (Clock Icon): The timer operates according to the set program (pins pushed down/up).
• Always ON (I Icon): The power output is continuously ON, regardless of the program settings.
• Always OFF (O Icon): The power output is continuously OFF, regardless of the program settings.

Select the desired mode by sliding the switch to the appropriate position.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the timer from the power outlet before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasives, or solvents.
• Storage: Store the timer in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• The BEMKO B62-TSMD20 contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not turning ON/OFF:
  • Check if the timer is securely plugged into the wall outlet.

  • Ensure the manual override switch is set to the 'Timer Mode' (clock icon).
  • Confirm that the program pins are correctly set for the desired ON/OFF times.
  • Check if the current time on the dial is accurately set.
• Timer not advancing:
