6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Setting Programs (ON/OFF Times)

The timer dial is divided into 24 hours, with each hour further divided into four 15-minute segments. Each 15-minute segment has a small pin around the outer edge of the dial.

Identify Pins: Locate the small black pins around the circumference of the dial. Each pin represents a 15-minute interval.
Set ON Time: To set a period when the appliance should be ON, push the corresponding pins downwards. Each pushed-down pin will keep the appliance ON for 15 minutes.
Set OFF Time: To set a period when the appliance should be OFF, leave the corresponding pins in the upwards position.
Example: If you want an appliance to be ON from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, push down all four pins between the '8' and '9' marks on the dial.

6.2. Manual Override Switch

The timer is equipped with a manual override switch, typically located on the side of the unit. This switch allows you to bypass the programmed settings.

Timer Mode (Clock Symbol): When the switch is set to the clock symbol (usually indicated by a small clock icon), the timer will operate according to your programmed ON/OFF settings.
Always ON Mode (I Symbol): When the switch is set to the 'I' symbol, the appliance connected to the timer will remain continuously ON, regardless of the pin settings.
