Introduction How it works The Mini Timer plugs into any 240V outlet in your home and transmits digitally encoded signals over your house wiring instantly or at the times you set. These signals are received by the X-10 Modules. You Plug a lamp up to 300 watts into a Lamp Module, an appliance such as a TV, stereo or coffee pot into an Appliance Module and replace important indoor or outdoor security lights up to 500 watts with the Wall Switch or Dimmer Module.
Quick Tour Let’s quickly review the functions of each part of the keyboard (you can go to page 7 for a step by step tutorial if you prefer). Referring to the diagram below and the cutaway sections that follow you will see that the keyboard on the Mini Timer consists of 7 basic areas.
Quick Tour How to Program a timed event 1. Place mode switch in “Prog Set” position. 2. Advance to the desired time. 3. Press any of the 4 ON or OFF rocker keys to set an on or off time for that Module. This will program the Mini Timer to turn that Module on (or off) at that time every day.

Setting up the Mini Timer To Dim and Brighten lights connected to a Lamp Module or Wall Dimmer Module, first select the Module by pressing and releasing the ON rocker key for the desired Module, then press the Bright or Dim rocker key. Hold the key pressed until the desired brightness level is reached.
Programming ON and OFF times Setting something to happen every day at the same time. After you have installed all of your Modules and checked that they are working instantly from the Mini Timer you are ready to program timed events. 1.
Programming ON and OFF times Setting a timed event to occur in the “Security” mode If you advance to a specific time, and then press one of the ON or OFF rocker keys, you will set an on or off time for that Unit Code to occur every day at exactly the same time. If however, you press the “Security”...
Programming ON and OFF times Reviewing timer events Set the Mode Switch in the “Prog Review” position (the display may show an apparently random time until you press a key). If you press any of the 4 ON (or OFF) rocker keys, the display will show the on (or off) time programmed for that Module.
Alarm settings Setting the Alarm Buzzer With the “Buzzer” switch in the “ON” position, any program you set for Module number 1 (or Module number 5 if the Selector switch is set to 5-8) will also set the internal alarm buzzer.
Alarm settings Suspending the wake up function If you set channel 1 for an ON time of 7:00 AM and number 1 is your bedside lamp, at 7:00 AM every day, your bedside lamp and internal will turn on. If you turn the Buzzer switch off on Friday nights the buzzer will not wake you up the next morning but your bedside lamp will still turn on.
Troubleshooting 1 If a particular Module won’t go on or off from the rocker keys on the Mini Timer: Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the switch on the light or appliance is ON. Check that the Unit Code and Housecode on the Module are set correctly.
