7 Day Digital Plug-In Mains Timer Switch

Control Appliance Power Use Automatically 

The Powertech Digital Mains Timer with LCD can be programmed for a full week of operation. It plugs into a standard 10A wall socket and has the following features:

• Set time of day, and day of week on/off periods, down to 1 minute time increments.
• Programmed, Countdown, Manual and Random modes.
• Clear LCD screen.
• Battery backup so you won't lose settings if you move it to a new wall socket, or if there is a blackout.

A More Advanced, Weekly Timer Switch

Basic timer switches are great when you want to automate appliance use over a 24 hour period only. But there are many situations where additional control is beneficial (over an entire week). Here are some examples:

• Switch off printers and copiers overnight and on weekends.
• Run water coolers or drinks fridges only during peak times.
• Schedule bedside lamps to wake you up on weekday mornings.
• Control lights and appliances for indoor automation, security, or energy saving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much power does the timer use in standby?

When switched on at the wall socket, the timer uses 0.70 watts to power itself.

How does the timer function outside of manually programmed modes?

Programmed settings will operate when the timer is in 'Auto' mode. Outside of this, the timer can be set to 'Manual Off' (power output is always off) or 'Manual On' (power output is always on).

What How many on/off periods can be programmed?

A total of 10 on periods and 10 off time periods can be programmed in, each applying to a specific day of the week or group of days per week. See the Installation Guide (PDF) for more detail.

What is the 'Random' function?

This will switch any connected device on and off at random intervals. An example use would be to connect a lamp and run it in 'Random' mode while on holiday, to make your home look occupied.
