Homebase Electronic Timer Operation Instructions
Introduction
This page was written after I bought the timers and ended up not using them
because the instructions were not enclosed, after finally getting around to
working out how to use them I thought I’d put this page up for anyone else in the
same position. The timers are actually quite good once you know how to program
them. I’d be interested to hear if anyone does actually use this page, if you do
why not drop me an email to: joe.timerpage AT tozer DOT org DOT uk.
Thanks to Phil Hough for emailing information on Summer Time and CTD mode,
Mike England for info on how to reset individual programme timers and Gary Hardman
for CTD mode corrections.

When AUTO OFF is shown the timer socket is currently off, when AUTO ON is
shown the timer socket is currently on.
(On the LCD display 'Auto' with 'on' or 'off' means that the timer will switch on and off
according to the settings you've made; when it shows 'auto on' it just means that the
timer output is currently switched on, and when it shows 'auto off' the timer output is
currently switched off.
