How to use

To use the Timex WT-4, first ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected. Strip the outer insulation of your cable to reveal the internal wires, then strip the ends of the individual conductors. Open the plug housing, insert the wires into the designated terminals, and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm electrical contact. Reassemble the plug housing, ensuring that the cable strain relief is properly positioned to prevent the wires from being pulled out during use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your device does not require a grounded (three-pin) connection
• Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the plug's strain relief
• Confirm that the total power load of your device does not exceed 16A

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the plug and cable for signs of wear or damage before each use. If the plug shows any signs of melting, cracking, or loose connections, replace it immediately to prevent electrical hazards.
