    • Check the main circuit breaker for the timer and connected equipment.
    • Verify that the power supply wiring to the "TIMER POWER" terminals is secure and correct.
    • The unit has a 36-hour backup time for settings during power outages; however, prolonged outages may require resetting the time.
  • Equipment Not Turning ON/OFF:
    • Confirm that the program settings for the specific circuit are correct (ON/OFF times, days).
    • Check the manual ON/OFF button for the circuit to ensure it's not in an overridden state.
    • Inspect the wiring connections for the affected circuit (LINE and LOAD) to ensure they are secure.
    • Verify that the connected equipment is functioning correctly independently of the timer.
  • שעה/תאריך שגויים:
