7. Timer Modes Explained
7.1. Dusk-to-Dawn Mode
In this mode, the built-in photocell sensor detects ambient light levels. When it gets dark (dusk), the connected devices will automatically turn on. When it gets light again (dawn), they will automatically turn off. This mode is ideal for continuous nighttime illumination.

7.2. Countdown Timer Modes (2/4/6/8 Hours)
When one of these modes is selected, the devices will turn on at dusk (detected by the photocell sensor) and remain on for the specified duration (2, 4, 6, or 8 hours) before automatically turning off. This is useful for saving energy while still providing light for a set period after dark.
8. Parowanie pilota
If your remote control is not responding, it may need to be paired with the timer unit. Follow these steps:
- Naciśnij i przytrzymaj oba przyciski ON I WYŁĄCZONY buttons on the remote control handset simultaneously.
- While still holding the buttons, plug the timer unit into an electrical outlet.
- Continue holding both buttons on the remote control handset.

- Release the buttons. The remote control is now successfully paired with the timer unit.
9. Wytyczne dotyczące instalacji
- Umieszczenie: Choose a location where the photocell sensor is not obstructed by direct light sources (e.g., porch lights, car headlights) that could interfere with its operation.
- Montowanie: For optimal weather resistance, mount the timer vertically with the outlets facing downward, at least 2 feet (60 cm) above the ground. This prevents water from accumulating in the outlets.
- Odporność na warunki atmosferyczne: The timer is designed to be waterproof, windproof, snowproof, and sunproof. However, proper mounting is crucial for long-term durability.

11.2. Typowe problemy i rozwiązania
| Wydanie | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
|---|---|---|
| Devices fail to activate at dusk. | Timer is placed in an area with excessive ambient light, preventing the photocell from detecting darkness. | Relocate the timer to a darker area free from ambient light. |
| Devices do not turn on even when the timer is set to the "ON" position. | Connected devices may be turned off or malfunctioning. Light bulbs may need to be replaced. | Test connected devices by plugging them directly into a working outlet. Ensure each device is switched on if it has its own power switch. |
| Lights are flickering (repeatedly turning on and off). | The timer is set to Dusk-to-Dawn mode, and light from the connected appliance is interfering with the photocell sensor. | Relocate the lights further from the timer, or adjust the timer's position so that the lights do not shine directly on the photocell. |
| Kontrolka zasilania nie świeci. | The timer is not fully plugged into the outlet, or the circuit breaker connected to the outlet has tripped. | Ensure the timer is securely plugged into the outlet. Check the circuit breaker connected to the outlet and reset it if necessary. |
| Pilot nie odpowiada. | The batteries are depleted or the remote is not paired. | Replace the batteries (12V/23A Alkaline) and re-pair the remote following the steps in Section 8. |
| Timer stays on after 2Hrs/4Hrs/6Hrs/8Hrs countdown. | The photocell sensor may be exposed to ambient light, preventing it from accurately detecting darkness to initiate the countdown. | Conduct a countdown test after covering the light sensor. If the appliance turns off, relocate the timer to a darker area, as ambient light (e.g., car headlights, window light) may be interfering with the sensor. |
