1. Press the reset button. (Do this if you want to erase all settings)
The reset button is the small round white recessed button on the right
side of the timer face. Use a pointed object to reach it in order to
erase all previous programming.
2. Set the clock.
HOUR: Press the clock button and simultaneously press the HOUR button
until you arrive at the correct hour. (Be aware of AM and PM hours.)
MIN: Again pressing the CLOCK button, simultaneously press the MIN
button until you arrive at the correct minute.
WEEK: Press the clock button and simultaneously press the WEEK button
until you arrive at the current day of the week.
3. Program your settings.
Each event is numbered and has a time to come on and a time to go off.
You can set 1, 2, or up to n different events using the PROG (program)
button. The PROG display will start at 1 ON. As you keep pressing the
button, the display will cycle through all the events: 1 ON, 1 OFF; 2
ON, 2 OFF; 3 ON, etc.. up to 8 OFF. For each event you must set WEEK,
HOUR, and MIN. First select which days of the week this particular event
will function (WEEK button.) As you press the button, it will cycle
through all the possibilities which include: MoTuWeThFrSaSu (everyday of
the week); Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su (each individual day of the week);
MoTuWeThFr (only week days); SaSu (only weekends); MoTuWeThFrSa; MoWeFr;
TuThSa; MoTuWe; or ThFrSa. After selecting the desired day(s) your event
will function, select the timing for the event to come on or go off
using the HOUR and MIN buttons. (Be aware of AM and PM hours.)
4. Set to automatic.
Use the ON/OFF/AUTO button to set to automatic. The button cycles
through ON, AUTO, OFF, AUTO, ON, AUTO, OFF, AUTO, ON, etc. as you keep
pushing it. If, according to the schedule you have programmed, it is
supposed to be off at that time of day (and day of the week), you cycle
it through to AUTO after cycling past OFF. If, according to the schedule
you have programmed, it is supposed to be on at that time of day, you
cycle it through to AUTO after cycling past ON. If you are using the
timer for subtle equipment like C02 and you want to test your programmed
schedule, you can try plugging in something more obvious like a light or
a fan so that you can see the changes more easily.
Hydrofarm TM01715D 7 Day Dual Outlet Digital TimerNOTE: Daylight Savings mode -- IF you press HOUR and MIN at the same
time you will get Daylight Savings mode which will delay your settings
by one hour automatically. This will be shown as a clock symbol over the
black dot in the right lower corner of the display. Press HOUR and MIN
simultaneously to remove the Daylight Savings mode. Random mode -- If you
press WEEK and MIN simultaneously, the display will show a O above the
clock symbol which will flash when functioning. This is random mode. The
on and off timing will be delayed by 2 up to 32 minutes randomly. This
setting is probably not useful for gardening purposes. One use of this
setting is for lights, to fool would-be burglars when you are not home.
Again press WEEK and MIN simultaneously to remove this mode.
