PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION OF YOUR TIMER:
Setting the time of day: The arrow on the face of the timer indicates the time of day. To set the time,
rotate the dial until the arrow is pointing at the correct time. Take care to set the correct time, noting
AM (white portion of dial) or PM (black portion of dial).
Program the timer: To program the “Lights On” settings; push the black tabs down adjacent to the
times that you would like the lights to be on. Each tab represents 15 minutes. (Example: If you want
the lamps to turn on at 8 AM and turn off at 6 PM, push all of the black tabs down between 8 AM and
6 PM. This will provide a 10 hour daytime photoperiod for your reptile.)
Set the red bypass switch to timer: To enable the timer function, be sure to slide the red switch on
the side of the timer down to the “timer” setting. To bypass the timer and manually turn on the lights,
slide the switch up to the “on” setting.
Push it back down to the timer setting
to resume normal timer function.
Plug the timer into a grounded
outlet: This timer will only operate
when plugged in. In the event of a
power outage, the time of day will need
to be reset. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this timer has a
three-prong plug and must be plugged
into a grounded three-prong receptacle
(see figure 1). If using near water, the
receptacle must also be GFCI protected.
If you are unsure about the electrical
supply and connection, contact a qualified licensed
electrician.
DRIP LOOP: If using this with aquatic habitats (like Turtle
Tanks), this timer must be used near a grounded receptacle
with a “drip loop” (see figure 2). The drip loop will prevent
water from running along the power cord and getting the
timer outlet or wall receptacle wet. To create a drip loop, be
sure that a portion of the power cord is lower than the level of
the wall receptacle as shown in figure 2. If for any reason the
plug or wall receptacle gets wet, do not grasp or unplug the
power cord until after the power has been switched off at the
main fuse or circuit breaker.
