Operation

HPM recommends you keep these instructions for future reference.

Setting a digital timer can be confusing at first. Essentially there are 3 steps:

1. Set the clock.
2. Setup your switching programs.
3. Put in AUTO mode and plug in your device.

The timer has 3 modes. Press the MENU button to change from one mode to the next.

1. Clock Mode – The screen will display the current time and day.
   
2. Program Mode – Enables you to scroll through to view or set the 16 program settings.
   
3. Countdown Mode – Enables you to simply set the timer to turn ON or OFF at a later time.
   

To return to clock mode from Program Setting Mode, press MENU twice.

To return to clock mode from Countdown Mode, press MENU once.

Press ok then the days of the week will flash. If timer is to be used for all days of the week press ok or press up to cycle through the options ie single days, Monday Wednesday Friday or just Saturday Sunday etc.

Press ok then set the hours for the off time – press ok and set the minutes for the on time. Press ok once done and the 1off will flash again.

If you want to set a second program, press up and 2on will flash. This is the 2nd on program, follow the above steps to set the 2on time then set the 2off time and so on up to 16 programs.

Activate the Timer and Timer Override

To have the timer automatically operate your device the word AUTO must be displayed when in Clock Mode.

Press the UP button to scroll through 4 options:

• ON: power is available to your device at all times. This is the same as leaving your device plugged in at the wall.
  
• AUTO ON: power is available to your device until the next OFF switching time. In the example in (xii), a lamp plugged into the timer will remain ON until 7:05 pm
  
• OFF: power will not be available to the device plugged into the timer. This is the same as turning off the power point. NB: This is a convenience setting. For safety HPM recommends unplugging the timer from the wall and using the device's OFF switch when performing maintenance tasks like replacing a globe.
  
• AUTO OFF:power will not be available until the next ON switching time. In the example in (vii) a lamp will remain OFF until 5:15pm
  

Random Feature

The Random Feature will delay the preset ON and OFF times of your set programs by between 4 and 32 minutes. This means you can set one program to repeat every day but the switching pattern will vary a little from day to day. This feature is ideal to use with lamps when you go on holidays as the switching pattern is not predictable.

To turn on the Random Feature, in Clock Mode, press the DOWN button once. The letters RND will show on the display.

To turn off the Random Feature, press the DOWN button again.

Countdown Mode

Countdown Mode lets you set up a delayed ON or OFF switching. It's a bit like a kitchen timer, except instead of an alarm ringing when the clock reaches zero, the timer switches power ON or OFF.

1. Before setting the Countdown time choose whether you want to turn power ON or OFF after the time has elapsed:
   • Delayed switch OFF: use the UP button to switch the timer to ON or AUTO ON for a delayed switch OFF
   • Delayed switch ON: use the UP button to switch the timer to OFF or AUTO OFF for a delayed switch ON
2. Press MENU twice to scroll to Countdown Mode. The letters CTD will show on the display above the seconds.
3. The display shows 0:00:00 and the hour position will flash. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the hour (0- 99). Press OK – the minutes position will flash.
4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the minute (0-59). Press OK – the seconds position will flash.
5. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the seconds (0-59). Press OK.
6. The timer will start to count down straight away and the letters CTD will flash. After 2 minutes the display will return to Clock Mode. Countdown Mode overrides the programmed settings and Random Feature.
7. To cancel the Countdown scroll to the Countdown Mode display and press RCL. Hint! Pressing the RCL button in Clock Mode will adjust between Standard and Daylight Savings Times – you must return to the Countdown Mode display to cancel the Countdown.

Deleting Programs

Step 1:

• To delete ALL pre-programmed settings, press the RESET button. The clock will need to be reset.
• To delete an individual timer setting, re-programme the required block so the start and finish times are the same

OR

Step 2:

• Scroll to the block you wish to delete and press the MODE button. The display will change to --:--.

To retrieve the setting press the MODE button again.

Troubleshooting

Timer not turning off – if only using one program, check the programs are set correctly- also ensure there is no program in program 2on – if no program is set it should show --:-- a time of 0:00 means program 2on is set for on at midnight and may interfere with other programs at this time.

Timer not turning on – ensure item connected to timer is turned on and powerpoint switch is turned on. To rule out compatibility/connection problems, on the clock screen, press up to cycle through the modes, when 'on' is selected the connected device should turn on – if it doesn't it may not be compatible.

Unit turning on and off later than program (between 4 and 32 minutes later than time set) – ensure random function isn't on - 'rnd' will be above the seconds on the clock screen if this function is turned on. Press the down button to turn this off or on.

Note: timer must be in auto on or auto off for the timer to run – change by pressing up on the clock screen
