MiniTimer Setup

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.

• Set the clock by switching the MODE switch to "SET CLOCK" and use the rocking "TIME" keys to set the time.

• 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.
