PROGRAM SETTING
• When the timer is plugged in the timer's dial will turn clockwise. The arrow on the face of the
dial points to the current time of day.
• The timer comes with all pins in the down position. On this
model, up represents “OFF” and down represents “ON”. Be
sure all segments are pulled up before programming. Select a
time period (or periods) you want the lights turned on, then
push down ALL the segments that fall on or within that time
period. Each pin represents 30 minutes with 2 pins
representing 1 hour. For example, to have the timer turn lights
on at 10 PM and off at 2 AM, push down the segments
representing 10PM and 2 AM, and ALL the segments in
between. See Figure 1. You may need to turn the dial
clockwise to access the desired segments.
Figure 1 shows timer set to turn lights ON at 10PM and OFF at 2
AM. Notice ALL segments between 10 PM and 2 AM have been
pushed down. Current time is 9:00 PM.
