BN-LINK Outdoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet

FEATURES

• Remote control allows for programming the timer from up to 100 ft away.
• 7 settings: Always On, On at dusk/Off at dawn, On at dusk, - off in 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours, Always Off.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Install a 12V/23A alkaline battery. To install or replace the battery, remove the back cover of the battery slot, insert a new battery, and slide the cover back into place.

PAIRING THE REMOTE TO THE TIMER

The remote control transmitter has already been paired to the timer. However, if the pairing is lost, follow these steps:

1. Press the "program" button until the ON indicator illuminates, then hold the "program" button for 3-4 seconds until the OFF indicator illuminates and the ON indicator flashes.
2. Press and hold any button on the remote control until the ON indicator light on the timer flashes quickly then turns off. This indicates successful pairing.
3. Press any time mode on the remote transmitter. The indicator light for the corresponding mode on the timer should illuminate.

To unpair the remote control:

1. Press the "program" button until the OFF indicator illuminates and hold the "program" button for 10 seconds or until all other indicator lights flash for one second and then turn off. (The OFF indicator remains illuminated.)

The remote transmitter is now unpaired. To re-pair the remote transmitter to the timer, follow the pairing instructions above.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Press the button beneath the desired setting.

Example: To program the timer to turn on at dusk and off in 4 hours, press the button on the remote control beneath "4H". The LED indicator illuminates when any button is pressed.

MANUALLY CONTROLLING THE TIMER

Press the "program" button repeatedly until the indicator light of the desired mode is lit.

Note: When selecting 2H, 4H, 6H, or 8H mode, the indicator light will flash 3 times and then stay illuminated; the Dusk-Dawn indicator will also be lit.

OPERATING MODES

• OFF - Power is OFF to attached devices.
• ON - Power is ON to attached devices.
• Dusk-Dawn - Power will turn on at dusk and remain on until dawn.
• 2 H - Power will turn on at dusk and remain on for 2 hours.
• 4 H - Power will turn on at dusk and remain on for 4 hours.
• 6 H - Power will turn on at dusk and remain on for 6 hours.
• 8 H - Power will turn on at dusk and remain on for 8 hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Devices do not turn on at dusk.

• Possible Cause: Timer is located in an area with too much ambient light for the photocell to sense darkness.
• Corrective Action: Move the timer to another location where there is no ambient light.

Problem: Devices do not turn on when the timer is in the "ON" position.

• Possible Cause: Connected devices are not in the "ON" position or are not functioning. Light bulbs need to be replaced.
• Corrective Action: Ensure the connected devices are functional by plugging them directly into the outlet. Be sure the connected devices are in the "ON" position if they have their own switch. Make sure the outlet the timer is plugged into is active - the LED should light up when plugged into an outlet and in the "ON" position. Check the bulbs and replace if necessary.

Problem: Lights are flashing (turning on and off).

• Possible Cause: Timer is in Dusk-to-Dawn mode and light from connected lights is affecting the photocell.
• Corrective Action: Move the lights away from the timer, or reposition the timer so it does not face the lights directly.

Problem: Timer power indicator light is not "on".

• Possible Cause: Timer is not fully plugged into the outlet. Circuit breaker connected to the outlet has tripped.
• Corrective Action: Make sure the timer is fully plugged into the outlet. Check the circuit breaker connected to the outlet and reset it if needed.

HELPFUL TIPS

• This timer is weather-resistant and rated for outdoor use. The timer will function outdoors when installed and operated as outlined in this manual.
• This timer operates using a light-sensitive photocell that senses when the environment is getting dark (dusk) or light (dawn). The photocell is located below the "Touch" sensor on the face of the timer.
• Once programming activates at dusk in the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr or 8hr mode, the program cycle will complete before the timer resets. Headlights, porch lights, street lamps, and other external lighting sources will not interfere with the active timer program.
• In the dusk-to-dawn mode, temporary light sources like headlights, porch lights, and other external light sources will not interfere with the photocell function unless the external light source is on for more than 15 minutes. In that case, the timer will shut off until darkness is restored.
• When set to "ON", the timer will provide continual power to attached devices until the timer is switched to "OFF", or to any of the other operating modes.
• Do not place the timer hidden in bushes where it won't sense daylight.
• It may take until complete darkness for the photocell to turn on power to the timer.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the timer to the power source.
