## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size cable do you need to connect to the power supply**
A: This is standard 13amp socket and should be connected from the mains supply by a 2.5mm 3 core cable. It must be earthed.

**Q: How many time slots can be programmed in? I am looking to set two time periods during each day. Thanks**
A: The pins can be set at 15 minute intervals do you can have multiple events . For example you could set a time period of 14:00 to 14:45then another 18:00 to 18:30. You have to have one or two pins between each event so the mechanism does not confuse itself. There would be no problem with the scenario you describe. I have three of these units and they are very good quality and reliable . The price is also very competitive Hope this helps .

**Q: Can this be turned off manually.**
A: Yes, you have three options on the clock, auto - manual - off. You can also use it as a power sourceFor garden electrical equipment. Fully weatherproof. Excellent product met my requirement perfectly.

**Q: Does the timer rotation stick because of outside dampness?**
A: My timer rotation does no stick BUT it does not like turning on at certain times ...I overcame this by changing the time and it now works .

High quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inaccurate time clock
*by J***S on 6 February 2022*

This seems like a well made product, but it is let down by a hopelessly inaccurate time clock. It loses an hour per day! I am going to have to remove it, and exchange it for another one. What's the point of a timer if it can't keep time?! Hopefully it is just a one off dud one, and I was unlucky.
