12V Digital Timer Switch (12V DC, 16 Schedules)

12V timers in South Africa are often used in remote battery- and solar-powered systems (solar panel, battery and solar charge controller):

• Low consumption wall lights and security lights scheduled to work on specific hours of specific days
• Fans in a cattle shed or chicken coop during day time
• Gates to open and close at regular times
• Drip irrigation systems that come on and off once or twice a day for a few minutes
• Fish feeders and animal feeders
• Small 12V pumps for fish ponds, water tanks
• Water circulation systems for solar geysers

The Altimus 12V Timer Switch is a programmable digital timer with 16 ON/OFF schedules and 1-minute intervals. It is a practical solution to manage a battery- or solar-powered system at certain times on certain days of the week (open at 7:45am and close at 6:00pm Monday to Friday for example).

• 12V DC makes it ideal for solar or battery-powered installations
• Can set up to 16 ON/OFF schedules for any chosen days of the week or groups of days
• Features: clock, timer, day, h+(setting hours), m+(setting minutes), manual override, reset
• Built-in Lithium battery: schedules are are kept in memory even in absence of power
• Safe lock: all buttons will automatically lock after 30 seconds of no operation, preventing children or others from accidentally messing with the schedules
• User manual in English included in the box

This 12V timer is designed to be used with 12V DC power supply and 12V DC load: use "Connection diagram A" in the user manual (don't get confused - the user manual is for 12V DC and 230V AC timers, hence multiple diagrams).  The connection diagram is visible in one of the picture on the left of this text.
