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

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.
