Setup Instructions

1. Unpack the Timer: Carefully remove the timer from its packaging.
2. Set Current Time: Rotate the dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator. The dial is divided into 24 hours, with white indicating daytime and black indicating nighttime.

4. Select Operating Mode: Use the slide switch on the side of the timer to select 'TIMER ON' for automatic operation based on your programmed settings, or 'MANUAL ON' to keep the device continuously on, or 'MANUAL OFF' to keep it continuously off.
5. Mount and Plug In: Hang the timer above ground using the integrated mounting hole. Plug the timer into a grounded outdoor electrical outlet. Then, plug your device into the timer's outlet.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, the timer will automatically control your connected device according to your programmed schedule. Ensure the slide switch is in the 'TIMER ON' position for automatic operation.

• Automatic Operation: The timer will activate and deactivate the connected device based on the pushed-down (ON) and pulled-up (OFF) pins on the dial.
• Manual Override: If you need to temporarily turn the device ON or OFF outside of the programmed schedule, use the slide switch to select 'MANUAL ON' or 'MANUAL OFF'. Remember to switch it back to 'TIMER ON' for the programmed schedule to resume.
• Time Synchronization: If power is interrupted, the timer will stop. You will need to reset the current time on the dial once power is restored to maintain accurate scheduling.

Maintenance

The Fosmon Outdoor Light Timer Outlet is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust, weather-resistant construction.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the timer with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Do not immerse in water or use harsh chemicals.
• Placement: For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the timer is hung in a location where water can drain away from it, ideally above ground level.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your timer, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Turning On/Off:
  • Check if the timer is properly plugged into a live outlet.
  • Ensure the connected device is functioning correctly when plugged directly into an outlet.
  • Verify that the current time on the timer dial is accurately set.
  • Confirm that the pins for the desired ON/OFF periods are correctly pushed down or pulled up.
  • Make sure the slide switch is set to 'TIMER ON'.
• Timer Not Advancing:
  • Ensure the timer is receiving continuous power.
  • The mechanical timer relies on power to advance. If power is interrupted, it will stop. Reset the time after power is restored.
