Thank you for purchasing the Westek Outdoor Stake Timer with Six Receptacles.
Getting Started
1
All six receptacles are controlled by Outdoor Stake Timer.
2
Outdoor Stake Timer comes with 96 Segment Pins enabling you to turn your lamps/appliances ON/OFF every
15 minutes. Positioning of each segment determines if lamps/appliances are ON or OFF during selected time period.
Programming ON/OFF Times
1
Move segment pins corresponding to desired ON times toward perimeter of dial.
2
Move segment pins corresponding to desired OFF times toward center of dial.
3
Turn dial clockwise one or more complete revolutions until arrow is pointing at present time of day (AM or PM).
4
Turn lamps/appliances on.
5
Plug lamps/appliances into timer receptacles. Close and latch Outdoor Stake Timer cover to protect receptacles from
moisture. If using outdoors, plug Timer Power Cord into GFCI protected outlet, suitable for wet locations.
6
Use the Manual Override Switch to select Always ON or Timer Mode operating modes. The Always ON position
turns on all lamps/appliances plugged into Outdoor Stake Timer. The Timer Mode position, indicated by clock icon,
turns lamps/appliances ON/OFF at desired programmed times.
7
Reset Outdoor Stake Timer in case of power failure (Step 3).
Circuit Breaker
In the event of overloaded or shorted circuit, Outdoor Stake Timer is equipped with a Circuit Breaker to shut off power to
lamps/appliances. If Outdoor Stake Timer does not function properly, Circuit Breaker may have been activated. To reset:
1
Unplug Outdoor Stake Timer from power source.
2
Check to make sure that combined load of lamps/appliances does not exceed rated capacity of Outdoor Stake Timer.
If so, disconnect items until electrical load is within prescribed limits.
3
Press Circuit Breaker button to reset. Plug Outdoor Stake Timer back into outlet and test by turning Manual Override
Switch to ON. Return to Timer Mode if load is operating properly.
Wall Mounting
1
If Outdoor Stake Timer is mounted on outside wall or post, it must be at least 3 feet above ground and close enough
to be plugged into an electrical outlet receptacle suitable for wet locations.
2
Drive two 3/4” #6 screws (sold separately) 1-7/8” apart along horizontal line 6“ above location of bottom of Outdoor
Stake Timer (See Fig. B). Leave screw heads 1/4” above mounting surface.
3
Place keyhole slots over screws and push Outdoor Stake Timer down to lock into place.
Stake Mounting
1
Align four tabs on stake with four holes on back of timer. Push tabs down, then up, until they lock into place.
(See Fig. C)
2
Stake should be inserted into ground up to lower round Barrier on stake. (See Fig. D)
Do not use hammer or other object to drive stake into ground.
Latching Cover
Outdoor Stake Timer door is spring loaded and will automatically close. If the cord(s) plugged into receptacles prevent
door from closing, gently grasp door and rear of the timer on opposite side of hinges. Squeeze until door latch engages.

(sold separately) through loop on Cover and Timer Base.
