Helpful Tips
- This unit is weather-resistant and rated for outdoor use. This timer operates using a light-sensitive photocell that senses when the environment is getting dark (dusk) or light (dawn).
- Once programming activates at dusk in the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr or 8hr mode, the program cycle will complete before the timer resets.
- When set to ON, the unit will provide continual power to attached devices until the timer is switched to OFF, or to any of the other operating modes.
- The POWER indicator will glow red when the timer programming is activated and power is being provided to attached devices.
Troubleshooting
-
PROBLEM:
Devices do not turn on at dusk.-
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Timer is located in an area with too much ambient light for the photocell to sense darkness. -
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Move the timer to another location where there is no ambient light.
-
-
PROBLEM:
Devices do not turn on when the timer is in the “ON” position.-
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
Connected devices are not in the “ON” position or are not functioning. Light bulbs need to be replaced. -
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Ensure the connected devices are functional by plugging them directly into the outlet. Be sure the connected devices are in the “ON” position if they have their own switch. Make sure the outlet the timer is plugged into is active – the LED should light up when plugged into an outlet and in the “ON” position. Check the bulbs and replace if necessary.

PROBLEM:
Lights are flashing (turning on and off}.-

- Place the unit on a 2-hour function (Within 18 seconds of darkness your unit should activate).
