Instruction

  • Use Instructions: Setting the time of day: The arrow on the face of the timer indicates the time of day. To set the time, rotate the dial until the arrow is pointing at the correct time. Program the timer: To program the timer; push the white tabs down adjacent to the times that you would like the lights (and other timed devices) to be on. Each tab represents 15 minutes. (Example: If you want the lamps to turn on at 8 AM and turn off at 6 PM, push all of the white tabs down between the numbers 8 AM and 6 PM. This will provide a 10 hour daytime photoperiod for your animals.) The timer can be used to control lights, heaters, foggers, waterfall pumps, and other devices. Set the white bypass switch to timer: To enable the timer function for the 4 timed outlets, be sure to slide the white switch on the side of the timer down to the Timer On setting. To bypass the timer, slide the switch up to the Outlet On setting. In this setting, all 8 outlets receive continuous power and the device acts as a normal power strip. Push it back down to the Timer On setting to resume normal timer function on the four timed outlets. Use with Aquatic Habitats:Plug the timer into a grounded GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupted Circuit) outlet: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this timer has a three-prong plug andmust be plugged into a grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must also be GFCI protected. If you are unsure about the electrical supply and connection, contact a qualified licensed electrician.Drip Loop: This timer must be used in a grounded receptacle with a “drip loop”. The drip loop will prevent water from running along the power cords and getting the timer outlet or wall receptacle wet. To create a drip loop, be sure that a portion of each power cord is lower than the level of the wall receptacle. If for any reason the plug or wall receptacle gets wet, do not grasp or unplug the power cord until after the power has been switched off at the main fuse or circuit breaker.
