FAQs

How do I set the current time on the timer?

Rotate the dial clockwise until the arrow at the top points directly to the current hour and minute.

What is the minimum time interval I can set?

The timer operates in 15-minute intervals. Each pin represents a 15-minute segment of the 24-hour cycle.

Can I use this timer for outdoor lights?

No, this timer is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors can damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.

How many ON/OFF programs can I set in a day?

With 96 pins (4 per hour x 24 hours), you can set up to 96 individual ON and OFF programs within a 24-hour period.

What is the maximum wattage this timer can handle?

The timer can handle a maximum load of 3120 Watts or 13 Amps.

What does the slide switch do?

The slide switch allows you to choose between 'Always ON' mode (bypassing the timer schedule) and 'TIMER mode' (following the programmed schedule).

How long is the warranty?

DEWENWILS provides a 1-Year Satisfaction Guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Timer does not turn the connected device ON or OFF.

Verify the slide switch is set to TIMER mode. Ensure the program pins are correctly set for the desired times. Check that the connected device is functioning correctly by plugging it directly into the outlet. Confirm the device's power consumption does not exceed the timer's 3120W limit.

The timer seems to be running fast or slow.

Ensure the dial was correctly set to the current time and that the arrow is aligned precisely. Mechanical timers can have slight variations over time; if the discrepancy is significant, consider replacing the unit.

Device turns ON but not OFF, or vice versa.

Double-check the placement of the ON and OFF pins on the dial. Ensure you have pushed down pins for the desired ON times and left pins UP for the desired OFF times within each 24-hour cycle.

Timer makes a clicking noise but the device is not responding.

This is normal operation as the internal mechanism switches. If the device is not responding, re-check the connected device's power draw against the timer's maximum load capacity (3120W).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies daily routines by automating appliance and light operation.
  • Contributes to energy savings by preventing devices from running unnecessarily.
  • Enhances home security by simulating occupancy with scheduled lighting.
  • Straightforward to set up and program with its mechanical dial and pins.
  • Versatile for a wide range of indoor electrical devices.

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment of pins for each programming change.
  • Limited to 15-minute intervals, which may not be precise enough for all applications.
  • Mechanical design can be bulkier than digital timers.
  • Not suitable for outdoor use.
  • Maximum load of 3120W must be adhered to, limiting use with very high-power appliances.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Rotate the dial clockwise until the arrow points to the current time.
  2. Push down the small pins around the dial to set your desired ON and OFF times. Each pin represents a 15-minute interval.
  3. Toggle the slide switch to TIMER mode.
  4. Plug the timer into your desired wall outlet.
  5. Plug your appliance or light into the timer socket.

Compatibility:

  • This timer is designed for indoor use only.
  • It is compatible with most standard indoor appliances and lights with a power draw up to 3120W (13A).
  • Avoid using with appliances that require precise timing beyond 15-minute increments or have high startup surges that exceed the maximum load.

Care:

  • Ensure the timer is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.
  • Keep the timer and its sockets free from dust and debris.
