WALL MOUNTING
This unit comes with a wall mounting plate. The plate will
make it easy to mount the timer onto an interior or exterior
wall. Simply insert 2-4 screws through the holes on the
mounting plate and into your wall as shown in illustration A,
making sure to position the plate so that the 2 plastic buttons
are towards the top. Then, align the 2 holes on the back of the
timer to the 2 buttons on the wall plate, and push down to
secure the timer. There are 4 holes on the mounting bracket,
which gives you many mounting options.
INSTALLATION CAUTION
The timer is designed to be operated only when in a vertical position (mounted vertically with outlets facing
the ground.) Failure to hang the timer vertically may cause water penetration through the outlet and will void
manufacturer’s warranty. Plug the timer into a 3-prong grounded electrical outlet.
If used outdoors, the timer must be plugged into a GFCI approved outlet.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Charge the batteries by plugging into a regular household outlet for ten minutes.
• Remove the protective battery barrier plastic insert as shown in illustration B.
• Using a paper clip or pencil, insert into the hole marked RESET and push in.
• You are now ready to proceed to Timer Programming.
BACK-UP BATTERIES
There are two back-up batteries in this timer. The primary battery is a Lithium Ion 3
volt replaceable button cell battery. This Li-Ion battery will work in a temperature
range of -13°F to +122°F (-25°C to +50°C). This battery will last about 5 months
from first use. Shelf life of the Li-Ion battery before first use is approximately 3
years.
The secondary back-up is an internal, rechargeable Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride)
battery which will work in a temperature range of -13°F to +131°F (-25°C to
+55°C). To fully charge the Ni-MH battery would take approximately 5 hours. A
full charge of the Ni-MH battery should last about 2 months.
Before programming the timer remove the tab marked (Remove Before Use) as
shown in Illustration B. When removing this tab, the primary battery will provide
the necessary power for immediate programming. This battery will enable
programming and memory retention for up to 5 months without plugging the timer
into an A/C outlet.
The secondary battery will kick-in if the primary Li-Ion button cell battery is removed
from the compartment, or if the Li-Ion battery becomes drained. The A/C power from a
wall outlet will supersede both batteries when the unit is plugged in.
