FUNCTION

Designed for outdoor use, the SA210 can be mounted inside or outside on a wall. It controls outdoor holiday, landscape, pool, spa accessories, security lighting, etc. The SA210 has 3 outlets: 2 timed outlets are powered and controlled by the SA210 digital timer and 1 extra untimed outlet which always has power. We suggest that you always plug any outdoor timer to a GFCI outlet. Connect your outdoor lighting, etc. to either of the desired timed outlet.
NOTE: the total rating (untimed extra outlet and timer outlets) of all items connected to the timer must not exceed the SA210 rating of 15 amps and that any timer settings applied are for all of the timed outlets; they cannot operate independently.

To cancel this feature, just press the button again (random disappears). When your home is left unattended, this is an excellent security feature to simulate household activity and random should be activated.

USING PROGRAMMABLE ON AND OFF TIME SETTINGS

5. (Figure F) Press the ON/OFF/ENTER button or wait for approx. 10 seconds. The display will show OFF time, and the "OFF" icon will appear. Press the FORWARD/HOURLY ADJUST button or REVERSE button to adjust OFF time. Press the ON/OFF/ENTER button once more or wait for approx. 10 seconds to return to normal mode.

Doing so will produce an error message on the display. To resolve the error message, change the OFF time by at least one minute using the FORWARD or REVERSE button.
