How to use

Insert the timer into a compatible mains outlet and plug the appliance into the timer’s Schuko socket.

Ensure the connected device’s power rating does not exceed the timer’s capacity and that the installation location meets the IP44 splash protection intent.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, place the timer in a covered or sheltered location away from direct exposure to heavy rain. Verify the appliance’s current draw before use and avoid connecting devices with inductive or high start-up currents that may exceed the timer’s switching capability. Periodically inspect the timer and power connections for wear or moisture ingress and disconnect power before cleaning or adjusting internal components.
