Product Information

Full details

This 3-pack of Tanness Plug-In Timer Switches in white is ideal for homeowners looking to automate energy usage, enhance home security, and reduce electricity bills. Its key benefit lies in its simple 24-hour scheduling for a wide range of appliances. A potential caveat is that it operates on a 24-hour cycle, meaning schedules reset daily, requiring re-setting if power is lost.

FAQs

How do I set the 24-hour schedule?

Rotate the outer dial to align the current time with the pointer. Push the small pins on the dial inwards for the times you want the connected appliance to be ON. Each pin represents a 15-minute interval.

What is the maximum load this timer can handle?

The timer has a high power capacity of 3120W or 13A, making it suitable for most standard household appliances.

What happens if there's a power cut?

If the power is interrupted, the timer will stop. You will need to re-set the current time and schedule once the power is restored.

Can I use this timer outdoors?

No, this timer is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture and damp conditions.

How many timers are included in this pack?

This is a 3-pack, meaning you will receive three individual Tanness Plug-In Timer Switches.

Is this timer suitable for LED lights?

Yes, as long as the total wattage of the LED lights plugged into the timer does not exceed its 3120W (13A) limit. Most LED lights have a low wattage.

How do I ensure my schedule is accurate?

Double-check that the outer dial is set to the correct current time. Ensure the pins are pushed in firmly for the desired ON periods and that all other pins are out for the OFF periods.

Troubleshooting

Appliance does not turn on at scheduled time.

Ensure the timer is plugged in securely. Check that the correct pins are pushed in for the 'ON' time and that the current time is correctly set on the dial. Verify the appliance itself is functioning correctly by plugging it directly into the wall socket.

Appliance does not turn off at scheduled time.

Confirm that no pins are inadvertently pushed in for the 'OFF' period. If the appliance remains on, ensure it's not overriding the timer (some appliances have internal power-off delays).

Timer is not advancing or keeping time.

Ensure the timer has been plugged in for at least 15 minutes to allow the internal mechanism to start. If it still fails to keep time, the unit may be faulty.

Sparks or unusual noise when plugging in or operating.

Immediately unplug the timer and the connected appliance. Do not use the timer. Contact the manufacturer or retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Plug your appliance into the timer switch.
  3. Rotate the outer dial to align the current time with the indicator mark.
  4. Push the small pins inwards to set the desired 'ON' periods. Each pin represents a 15-minute interval within the 24-hour cycle. Ensure pins are pushed in for the times you want the appliance to be on.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard UK mains powered appliances up to 3120W (13A).
  • Not suitable for electronic devices that require constant power for memory or clock functions (e.g., some digital set-top boxes, modems).
  • Ensure the appliance's total wattage does not exceed the timer's capacity.

Care:

  • Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Keep the timer switch dry and away from moisture.
  • Ensure ventilation around the timer and the connected appliance.
