Question
How do I set up my MiniTimer?
Answer
MT13A SETUP
- Connect the power supply to the Mini Timer and plug the power supply into any convenient AC outlet.
NOTE: you must use the power supply that came with the Mini Timer. The power supply contains circuitry required to control your X10 modules, so you CANNOT replace it with a regular 12V power supply.
- Install two AA alkaline batteries in the compartment on the back, if desired (to protect the time and programmed events if there's a power outage).
- Set the MODE switch to “CLOCK SET.”
- Press the top of the “TIME” rocker to advance to the correct time. A quick press on the rocker will advance the time by 1 minute. If you hold the rocker down the display will advance to the correct time faster. If you overshoot, you can use the bottom rocker to go back.
- Adjust your Lamp or Appliance Modules to the same HouseCode as the MiniTimer. You may need a screwdriver to turn the dial.
- Set the UnitCode on your Lamp or Appliance Module to any number between 1 and 8. The combination of your Unit and House code’s makes your module’s distinct address. This way your timer knows which modules to turn ON/OFF.
- Set the MODE switch on the MiniTimer to the "RUN" position.
- Test that your modules are working correctly by pressing the "ON" rocker key on the MiniTimer key pad that corresponds to the UnitCode number you set for your module above.
- Press the rocker key to "OFF" to then turn your lamp or appliance off.
Program a Timed Event
- Place the MODE switch in the "PROG SET/REVIEW" position.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrows to advance to the desired time.
- Set the 1-4/5-8 switch to the desired position.
- Press any of the 4 ON/OFF rocker keys to set an ON/OFF time for that Module. This will program the Mini Timer to turn that Module ON/OFF at that time every day.
- Advance to another time, and press another ON or OFF button as desired.
- Set the MODE switch back to RUN.
MT10A SETUP
- Plug your MiniTimer into any AC outlet

- Adjust your Lamp or Appliance Modules to the same HouseCode as the MiniTimer. You may need a screwdriver, kitchen knife, or the tip of an electrical prong to turn the dial.
- Set the UnitCode on your Lamp or Appliance Module to any number between 1 and 8. The combination of your Unit and House code’s makes your module’s distinct address. This way your timer knows which modules to turn ON/OFF.
- Set the MODE switch on the MiniTimer to the "RUN" position.
- Test that your modules are working correctly by pressing the "ON" rocker key on the MiniTimer key pad that corresponds to the UnitCode number you set for your module above.
- Press the rocker key to "OFF" to then turn your lamp or appliance off.
Program a Timed Event
- Place the MODE switch in the "PROG SET" position.
- Use the UP/DOWN arrows to advance to the desired time.
