5.1 Setting the Mechanical Timer

The mechanical timer operates on a 24-hour cycle with 30-minute intervals. Each segment (pin) on the dial represents 30 minutes.

1. Aktuelle Uhrzeit einstellen: Rotate the entire timer dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator on the top of the timer. Ensure AM/PM is correctly observed (e.g., 3 PM is 15 on the dial).
2. EIN-/AUS-Zeiten einstellen: Push the segments (pins) down for the periods you want the connected devices to be ON. Leave the segments (pins) up for the periods you want the devices to be AUS. Each segment pushed down activates the timer-controlled outlets for that 30-minute interval.
3. Betriebsmodus auswählen: Use the slide switch located near the timer dial to select the desired mode for the timer-controlled outlets:
   • 'I' (Always On Mode): The timer-controlled outlets will remain continuously ON, bypassing the timer settings.
   • 'T' (Timer Mode): The timer-controlled outlets will operate according to your set ON/OFF schedule.
   • 'O' (Always Off Mode): The timer-controlled outlets will remain continuously OFF, bypassing the timer settings.
