Setup Instructions for HT2065

1. Plug-In

   • Plug the timer into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet.
   • Plug your device (e.g., lights, fountain) into one of the two grounded outlets.

2. Setting the Timer

   • Turn the dial to one of the following modes:
     • OFF – Power is disconnected.
     • ON – Power is always on.
     • 2, 4, 6, or 8 Hours – Turns on at dusk and stays on for the selected duration.
     • Dusk to Dawn – Turns on at dusk and off at dawn automatically.

3. Photocell Sensor

   • The built-in photocell detects ambient light.
   • Ensure the sensor is not shaded or exposed to artificial light, as this may cause it to malfunction (e.g., blinking or staying on).

4. LED Indicator

   • Confirms power is flowing through the timer.

Safety Warnings

• Must be plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet when used outdoors.
• Do not use with heating appliances.
• Do not expose directly to water.
• Always unplug when not in use.
• Do not modify or repair the cord.
• Store indoors when not in use.

Problem: Lights blinking on and off.

Solution: The photo eye is really sensitive with light. If the timer is getting some light from a light fixture or sun daylight into the timer photo eye it will trigger the timer to go OFF/ON.

Make sure the photocell is not getting light from another fixture. A bright light nearby will cause the timer to cycle on and off.

Test the photocell by covering it with black electric tape.

If covering the sensor keeps it from blinking then it is definitely the light nearby causing the problem.

An analog timer should work in that case.
