External Socket Timer Analog EcoSavers Light Sensor

EcoSavers Easy Timer External Timer - Twilight Sensor, IP44 (Schuko)

Do you want to easily automate the operation of your garden lighting, Christmas light decorations, pond pump or other external electrical devices? EcoSavers Easy Timer Outdoor is an extremely easy-to-use and reliable socket timer that will do it for you! Equipped with a built-in twilight sensor and a very intuitive operating mode selection knob, it allows you to effortlessly manage the operating time of connected devices. It turns them on automatically after dark and turns them off after a set time or at dawn, which translates into your comfort and realelectricity savings.

Simple and Intelligent Outdoor Lighting Control - Main Features:

• Automatic Turning on Devices After Dark: Thanks to the precise, built-in daylight sensor, the timer recognizes the moment of darkness (usually below 10 lux) and automatically activates the connected device. It has a 5-minute delay to avoid accidental switching on due to temporary shading.
• Adjustable Operation Time After Twilight: You decide how long your lighting or other device should operate! Using an easy-to-use knob, you can select one of several pre-programmed time modes (switching on for 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours after dark) or the all-night operation mode (from dusk to dawn).
• Extremely Intuitive Operation – Just Turn the Knob: Forget about complicated programming of small buttons! The desired operating mode is selected using one large and clearly marked knob - this solution is so simple that anyone can use it without the need to read the instructions.
• Saving Electricity and Money: No more unnecessary lighting all night long or, even worse, during the day! The Easy Outdoor timer ensures that connected devices work only when needed, which directly translates into lower electricity bills. The device is also characterized by very low self-consumption in standby mode (approx. 0.7W).
• Safe Outdoor Use (Protection Class IP44): The solid housing of the programmer has an IP44 tightness class, which means that it is resistant to splashes of water falling from any direction and protected against access by solid objects with a diameter of over 1 mm. This allows you to safely use the timer in the garden, on the terrace, balcony or at the entrance to the house.
• High Safety Standards: The timer is equipped with a standard F-type socket (Schuko) with a grounding contact and mandatory protection against children's access (so-called "child lock"). It has a renowned GS safety certificate confirming compliance with German standards. It can support devices with high power consumption, up to 3680W (16A).
• Visual LED Operation Indicator: A small red LED located on the housing visually informs the user when the timer socket is active and is supplying power to the connected device.

Available Operating Modes (Set by Rotary Knob):

• OFF: The socket is permanently turned off, no power to the connected device.
• ON: The socket is permanently turned on, power is supplied continuously (the timer and twilight sensor functions are inactive).
• 2h / 4h / 6h / 8h: The device connected to the timer will turn on automatically when dusk is detected and will remain on for the selected time (2, 4, 6 or 8 hours, respectively) and then turn off automatically.
• DUSK-TO-DAWN (Moon/Sun Symbol): The device will turn on automatically when dusk is detected and will remain on all night long until dawn is detected, at which time it will turn off automatically.

Usage Directions:

• Connect the timer to an appropriate external socket, which should also be adapted to weather conditions (e.g. have a protective cover).
• Connect the plug of the device you want to control (e.g. garland, garden lamp) to the socket in the programmer.
• Turn the dial to select the desired operating mode.
• Make sure the twilight sensor in the programmer is not covered or pointed directly at another light source at night (e.g. street lamp, car headlight). This may interfere with its proper operation, especially in the dusk to dawn mode (it may cause cyclical switching on and off).
• Remember about the 5-minute activation delay in automatic modes (after dusk is detected).
• The programmer is designed to control various types of external devices, provided that the maximum permissible load is not exceeded 3680W.
