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.

11.2. Kwistjonijiet Komuni u Soluzzjonijiet
| Ħruġ | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Id-dawl tal-indikatur tal-enerġija mhuwiex mixgħul. | 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. |
| Il-kontroll mill-bogħod ma jirrispondix. | 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. |
