5. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Fosmon mechanical outlet timer:

1. Reset Pins: Pull ALL the pins around the dial to the UP position. The timer comes with all pins pressed down by default.
2. Set Current Time: Turn the dial clockwise until the arrow points to the CURRENT time. Note that the black half of the dial represents PM hours and the white half represents AM hours. Align as closely as possible, as exact minute precision is not required for mechanical timers.
3. Program ON Times: Push the pins DOWN for the periods you want the connected device to be ON. Each pin represents a 30-minute interval.
4. Connect and Power On: Plug your device(s) into the timer's outlets, then plug the timer into a wall outlet.
5. Check Override Switch: Ensure the manual override switch (located on top) is in the 'Timer' position (usually indicated by a clock icon or 'ON' for timer function, not 'Always ON' or 'OFF').

To test the timer, plug it into a lamp, push down one pin close to the current time, and observe. The light should turn on when the dial reaches that pin and turn off when it passes it. Remember to pull the test pin back up after verification.

6. Operation

Once set up, the timer will automatically cycle through its programmed ON/OFF periods every 24 hours. The internal clock mechanism will continuously rotate the dial.

• Automatic Operation: The timer will activate and deactivate connected devices according to the pins you have pushed down.
• Manual Override: Use the switch on the top of the timer to manually turn the connected devices ON or OFF, overriding the programmed schedule. This is useful if you need to temporarily keep a device on or off outside of its set times.
