HELPFUL TIPS
• This timer is weather-resistant and rated for outdoor use. The timer will function
outdoors when installed and operated as outlined in this manual.
• This timer operates using a light-sensitive photocell that senses when the
environment is getting dark (dusk) or light (dawn). The photocell is located above the
"Program" button on the face of the timer.
• Once programming activates at dusk in the 2hr, 4hr, 6hr or 8hr mode, the program
cycle will complete before the timer resets. Headlights, porch lights, street lamps and
other external lighting sources will not interfere with the active timer program.
• In the dusk-to-dawn mode, temporary light sources like headlights, porch lights and
other external light sources will not interfere with the photocell function unless the
external light source is on for more than 15 minutes. In that case, the timer will shut o
until darkness is restored.
• When set to "ON", the timer will provide continual power to attached devices until the
timer is switched to "OFF", or to any of the other operating modes.
• Do not place the timer hidden in bushes where it won't sense daylight.
• It may take until complete darkness for the photocell to turn on power to the timer.
• The "Operating Mode" indicator light will turn on when the timer programming is
activated and power is being provided to attached devices.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the timer to the power source.
