General Q&A
A summer time function is referred to. This is how it works.
This is function more applicable to the northern hemisphere where you have to adjust for
an hour in summer. To add an hour press c+ and while you are holding it down press the
manual button once. It will display summer and add 1 hour to the clock.
It refers to a 12/24 hour switchable mode. This is how you can set it up.
To get the 24/12 mode hold down the c+ button and press the clock button on it's right
once.
To exit programming.
Press c+ after you have programmed your settings.
The connectors where the input and output cables are to be installed do not open wide
enough, and cannot receive a 2.5mm cable.
The connector blocks are wide enough for your standard electrical house wiring cable. The
timer does take a 2.5mm surfix cable which is a solid copper wire. If you have a wire with
a few copper strands then that is a 4mm cable.
The RES/RCL button is not mentioned on the Instruction Manual.
Reset or Recall ( This is to disable a programmed time -:-- or recall it again 18:00)
My timer has a 16a rating, can I use it for my Geyser or Pool Pump.
No, a 16 Amp timer on it's own is not for use with a Geyser or on a Pool Pump. Used in conjunction with a suitable
relay this timer can however be used at your own discretion to control a Geyser or Pool Pump since the relay will
carry the load and not the timer itself.
It is advisable thought to use a timer rated at 20 Amps or more.
Other timers with same button: RES/RCL is used as override on/off when in programming mode
