the box (white) to the white wire from the timer.

Timer lock and switch insert

  The TMMW25 is provided with 2 inserts to allow the timer to be locked 

in timer mode or used with “ON/OFF/TIMER” switch. 

  The switch cover allows the switch to be moved to select the “TIMER“, 

“OFF” or “ON” modes.  The TIMER LOCK insert locks the switch in the 
“TIMER” mode and will not allow the switch to be changed without 
replacing the insert.

  Select the desired insert and place it in the cover plate before attaching 

to the installed timer.

Timer operation:

Setting ON / OFF Periods

  This timer can be programmed with up to 24 on and 24 off settings in 

a twenty-four hour time period. There are 2 pins (30 Minutes each) 
associated with each hour in the day. Using your finger, a pen, or a 
screwdriver, pull up (OFF) all pins corresponding to the times you want 
the timer to turn power off to the load. For desired “ON” times, make 
sure the pins are pushed down.  The pins are typically set to the “ON” 
position when you open the package.

Setting time of day

  Turn outer dial clockwise until triangular pointer is lined up with the 

present time of day. Be sure switch is set to “TIMER”. 
Caution: Turning dial counter clockwise will damage the unit causing it 
to stop working.

Selecting Mode:  ON / OFF / TIMER

  If you want the timer to run the ON / OFF  programs as you set them in 

previous section, you must select “TIMER” mode on the switch below 
the dial.  Programmed ON / OFF times can be interrupted by using the 
“ON /OFF/ TIMER“ switch located just below the dial.  After placing the 
switch in the OFF or ON Position the controlled device will stay OFF or 
ON untiI the switch is manually changed. If the “Timer Lock” is 
installed, the switch is forced into the TIMER mode and cannot be 
changed until the lock is removed.  This feature is best utilized in public 
locations where you don’t want someone overriding the timer settings 
and turning a device on/off for extended periods of time.

Caution:

For indoor Use only
Do not use with any appliance that exceeds the capacity of the 
timer.
Fan heaters and heaters with exposed elements should not be 
connected to timers.
