In this video I'm going to show you how to set up and program your defiant
in wall digital timer model 32648. If you'd like to see my video review of
this product, where I review the specifications and functionality, I'll
put the link to that in the upper right hand corner as well as in the
information section below. Let's get started! Get out a tiny toothpick or a
pencil. If you have little tiny fingers that works too. To set up the timer
press reset. That's the tiny button here that clears
all the programs and resets the timer to the default settings.
Press the set
button to begin setting the current time and calendar. You'll see "clock" appears
in the display and 12:00 a.m. will flash. Use the up and down buttons here
to set the current time keeping in mind AM and PM. You can hold down the buttons
if you want until you get close to the time, and then you can press them
singularly to get to the exact time. Once at the exact time press set. Now use the
up and down buttons to select the year and then press set. Use the up and down
buttons to select a month and then press set. Use the up and down buttons to
select the day and then press set. So now you'll see DST in the display which
stands for daylight savings time. Use the up and down buttons to turn on and off
daylight savings. You'll need this if you want the timer to automatically spring
forward or fall back an hour. So I would leave that on and now press set. "Zone"
flashes in the display. Now we can set the dawn/dusk region. That's what they
call it .Here's a look at the regions from the instructions. Don't look at
it for more than 20 seconds because if no key is pressed within 20 seconds, the
timer goes back to clock mode and we'll need to start all over. So use the up and
down buttons to scroll through and select your zone. You'll see North,
Central, South, Hawaii, and Alaska. Select one and then press set.
Now the timer, using its vast knowledge of your zone, will flash what
it thinks is your dusk time. It may or may not be correct but you can use the up
and down buttons to adjust the time
plus or minus two hours. I use the weather app
on my smart phone to identify sunrise and sunset times and use that to
adjust the timer accordingly. Once that'a in, now press set. Now the timer
will flash the approximate dawn time for your zone. Again we'll use the up and
down buttons to adjust it plus or minus two hours .Once you've adjusted that
press set and the timer returns to clock mode. Now I'm going to show you how to
set the 7 individual programs. For each program, you must set an on and off
time. Just to show you where to set each program's on and off time should you want
to use all 7 programs, you scroll through each of the program's on and off
times by repeatedly pressing the program button. Here's where you set program one's
on time. Here's where you set program one's off time. Program two's on time.
Program two's off time. Program three's on time. Program three's off time. So on and
so forth for all of the seven programs.
Let's set program 1 so that the outside lights come on Monday through
Friday (so just the weekdays) at 5:00 p.m. and shut off at 11 p.m. To set program
one's on time, use the program button to scroll to program one's on time, which
we've already done, and press set. Use the up and down buttons to scroll the days
of the week you want the timer to activate. The options are Monday through
Sunday, which is every day of the week. Each
individual day of the week . Monday through Friday, which are the weekdays.
Saturday, Sunday, which the weekend. Sunday through Thursday. Or both
Friday and Saturday. So lots of options here. Since I want this program to work
only on the weekdays, I'll use the up and down buttons to
select Monday through Friday and then press set. Now we need to set the on time
which is flashing. Here you have three options. You can set the actual time you
want, or use the dusk and dawn times that we previously set during the setup. Use
the up and down buttons to scroll to the option you'd like to use. In this case
I'm going to set the actual time. So I scroll to the blinking "time" and then
press set. Then I use the up and down arrows to select the on time here. I'm
going to set the lights to turn on at 5:00 p.m. so I scrolled to 5:00 p.m. and
then press set. So I'm done setting program one's on time and now I need to
set program one's off time to turn the lights off. So I'll use the program
button to scroll to program one's off time. Press set. Select the days of the
week, which I want to be the same as I set for the on time using the up/down
arrow keys. If you recall that was for Monday through Friday, which is just the
weekdays. I'll select that and then press set. Now I'll need to set the time I want
the lights to turn off using the arrow keys to select one of the three options
of actual time, dusk, or dawn. I'm going to use the up and down arrows
to select the actual time and set that. So I scroll to the actual
time, press set, and then I'll use the up and down arrows to select the actual
time. I'll scroll to the actual time that I want the lights to go off. In this
case 11 p.m. and then I'll press set. So now I've programmed program one's on and off
times so the lights turn on Monday through Friday at 5 p.m. and off at 11
p.m. Now let's set program two. Let's say that on Saturday and Sunday I want the
lights to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. To set program two's on time, I use
the program button to scroll to program twos on time. Press
the set button. Use the up and down buttons to scroll the days of the week.
In this case I'll choose Saturday, Sunday.
Then press set. Now we need to set the on time, which is flashing. Again, here I have
the three options. I can set the actual time, or use the dusk and dawn
times we previously set. Since I want the lights to come on at dusk I'll use the
up and down buttons to scroll to dusk and press set. So I'm done setting
program two's on time and need to set program two's off time. I'll use the
program button to scroll to program two's off time. Press set. Select the
days of the week, which I want to be the same as I set for the on time using the
up and down arrows. So I'll select Saturday, Sunday and then press set. Now
I'll need to set the time I want the lights to turn off using the up and down
arrows to select one of my three options again. In this case I will select dawn, so
the lights turn off when the sun comes up. Once I've selected that,
I will press set. So now I've programmed program two's on and off times so that on
Saturday and Sunday the lights turn on at dusk and off at dawn. To return to the
clock mode you can either press the program button for 3 seconds, or if no
button is pressed within 20 seconds it'll revert back to clock mode on its
own. If we want to review our programs we can consecutively press the program
button to scroll through and review each program.
Now that the programs are set we'll want the timer to run as scheduled. From the
clock screen press the mode/delete button, which is here, repeatedly to scroll to
auto, which runs the programs, manual which does not run the programs but
allows you to simply turn on and off the lights (although you can still turn the
lights on and off manually if the timer's in auto mode), and then random,
which as I mentioned earlier follows the programs within plus or minus 30
minutes. Lastly to use countdown mode press and hold the on/off button here
for about three seconds. Then use the up/down arrows to select the countdown
time and it starts counting down. At that point it'll just shut off the lights.
The default is one hour so if you want it to count down from an hour, you don't
need to open the little door. Just press the on/off button and it counts down
from an hour after which it will shut off the lights. Should you decide to turn
off the countdown function once you started it, just hold down the button
again for three seconds . Overall we really like this product. It was
inexpensive and it's made our lives easier. I haven't had it long enough to test
longevity, but I will say that I was able to install it myself...
and then I had a licensed electrician review my work. He said, "Nice job."
