Installation and User Guide
Programmable Multi-purpose Timer
The TI062 timer can be used indoors and outdoors to control lighting,
motors and block heaters. The timer provides 5 modes of operation:
NOTE 1: Suitable for use with outdoor appliances. Store indoors
when not in use.
NOTE 2: To reduce the risk of electric shock, the timer has a
grounding-type plug, which has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
fit only in a grounding-type outlet. If the plug does not fit in the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Plug the timer in an electrical outlet before setting it for the first time.
The clock flashes to indicate that it must be set*. When the timer has
been charged for at least 2 hours, it can be unplugged for several
minutes without losing the time. The other settings are saved at all
times.
* The clock will still tick even if it is not set. When this happens, the
on/off times of the controlled appliance might be shifted.
You can set the timer in any of the following modes:
Manual mode
Automatic mode (default mode)
Automatic mode with temperature threshold
Automatic mode with darkness threshold
Sunset/sunrise mode
To switch mode, use the programming menu. For example, to switch
from Automatic mode to Manual mode:
n
Hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds to
enter the menu. The Mode menu will
flash.
o
Press the On/Off button briefly. The
current mode will flash on the screen.
p
Press the button repeatedly until the
desired mode flashes on the screen.
q
Hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds to
exit the menu.
NOTE: The timer automatically returns to its
normal display if you do not press any button
for 60 seconds.
4.1 Manual mode
The timer operates like a regular switch. It
applies or cut power to the appliance when
you press the On/Off button.
4.2 Automatic mode
The timer applies and cuts power to the
appliance at the desired times by means of a
program. Power is applied at the start of the
program and is cut at the end of the program.
By default, the program starts at 6:00 pm and
ends at 11:00 pm. see section 6 on how to set
the start program time and end program time.
4.3 Automatic mode with temperature threshold
When the timer is plugged to an outdoor outlet,
this mode is used to activate an appliance
such as an engine block heater or gutter
heating cables when the temperature drops.
Heating starts when both following conditions
are met:
• The program has started.
• The temperature threshold is reached (see the different
temperature threshold options in the following table). The icon
flashes when the threshold is not reached.
See section 6 for program setting and temperature threshold
selection.
Heating will stop at the end of the program or when the temperature
rises above the threshold by a few degrees. However, heating will
resume if the temperature drops again before the end of the program.
CAUTION: Do not use the timer for temperature control applications.
4.4 Automatic mode with darkness threshold
When the timer is plugged to an outlet
exposed to daylight, this mode is used to turn
lights on at sunset and turn them off at a set
time. The lights turn on when both following
conditions are met:
• The program has started (see section 6).
• The darkness threshold is reached. The icon flashes when the
darkness threshold is not reached.
The lights will turn off at the end of the program.
NOTE: Ensure that the timer is positioned such that the light sensor is
pointing to an area that is undisturbed by car lights, outdoor lights, etc.
