Setup

2. Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to adjust the time.
3. Press the DAY button to cycle through the days of the week until the correct day is displayed.
4. Press CLOCK again to save and exit.

3. Connecting Appliances

Plug your desired appliances into the three grounded outlets on the front of the timer. Ensure the total load does not exceed 15 Amps.

Dusk-to-Dawn Operation

The timer can be set to operate from dusk until dawn.

Maintenance

The Westek TM1627LP timer requires minimal maintenance. To clean, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or unresponsive: Ensure the timer is plugged into a live outlet. Allow at least 30 minutes for the internal battery to charge. If the issue persists, try pressing the RESET button (usually a small recessed button requiring a paperclip).
• Timer not turning devices ON/OFF:
  • Verify that the timer is receiving power from the wall outlet.
  • Check that the connected device is properly plugged into the timer and is functional.
  • Review your programmed ON/OFF times to ensure they are set correctly.
  • Ensure the timer is not in manual override mode.
• Programs not saving: Ensure the internal battery backup is sufficiently charged. If programs are lost after a power outage, the battery may need more charging time.
