HELPFUL TIPS
• This timer is weather-resistant and rated for outdoor
use. The timer will function outdoors when installed
and programmed 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 to the
right of the program modes 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 program modes.
• The “Program” indicator light will turn on when the
timer programming is activated and power is being
provided to attached devices.
• Make sure the receiver is plugged into a working AC
outlet.
• Make sure the receiver and connected equipment
are on.
• Make sure the 23AE 12V battery in the remote
control is still functioning.
1. INSTALL TIMER to a
vertical flat surface close to
a properly installed outdoor-
rated grounded receptacle.
a. Using a screw or hook (not
included), secure the
MOUNTING TAB at the top
of the timer to a wall or post.
b.
For a more secure mounting,
use the two MOUNTING
HOLES on the back of the
timer.
•
Create a mounting template
by placing a sheet of paper
over the back of the timer
and punching holes
through the paper where
the mounting holes are located on the timer.
• Temporarily secure the mounting template to
the flat surface where the timer is to be mounted.
• Drill two 3/32 inch pilot holes where indicated
on the mounting template.
• Insert two #6 sheet metal screws (not
included), leaving screw heads protruding 1/8
inch from the surface.
• Place the timer over the screw heads and push
down to lock into place.
2. Plug the receiver into an
electrical outlet.
Use an
outdoor-rated three-pronged
grounded electrical outlet. Do
not use extension cords to
connect the timer to the power
source.
3. Remove the plastic battery
tab from the battery
compartment in the back of
the remote control to
activate the 23AE, 12V
pre-installed battery.
