Programming your PLT Solutions PLTS-12335 Digital Heavy Duty Outdoor Timer is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Setup: Before programming, plug the timer into a wall outlet for 30 minutes to charge the internal battery. Once the screen activates, the timer is ready.
- Resetting the Timer: To clear all previous settings, use a thin, non-conducting object to press the reset button located under the dashboard.
- Setting Time and Day: Press and hold the CLK button while using the HOUR and/or MIN buttons to set the current time. To switch between AM and PM, continue holding CLK and press the HOUR button. Use the DAY button (while holding CLK) to set the correct day of the week.
- Programming ON/OFF Cycles: The timer supports up to 8 different ON/OFF cycles. Press the PROG button to begin programming your first ON time, follow the on-screen prompts to set the desired time, the day(s) you want it to activate and then the OFF time. Repeat this process for up to 8 cycles.
- Reviewing and Changing Programs: To review your programmed cycles, press the PROG button repeatedly. Use the HOUR, MIN, and DAY buttons to make any adjustments. Ensure your cycles do not overlap. Press CLK to exit programming mode.
- Selecting Modes: Plug your devices into the timer and ensure they are switched to the ON position. Press the MODE button to select AUTO, which will activate your programmed settings. Use the MODE button to switch between ON (always on), OFF (always off), and RDM (random) modes for manual control of your lights.
- Troubleshooting: If the timer doesn't work as expected, check the power outlet, your connected devices, the selected mode, your programmed cycles, and the wattage rating of your devices. Consult the PLT Solutions manual or contact their customer service for further assistance.
