Timer Switch Square | 24 Hour Segment Timer Light Switch | White UK Plug | S24HRSQT4 | Mechanical Option A

This is an excellent time switch - if used correctly! It does actually keep perfect time, which is great. Those complaining about the lack of a marker should look for the clear pointer, shown in the advertising photo around 17.00. It was very clear to me, even with my 60 odd year old eyes! Those complaining about a lack of instructions! - Push the tabs away from you (towards the timer body) when facing the timer to mark 'ON' times and pull tabs towards you (away from the timer) to mark 'OFF' times. There may be a struggle to set time markers when they are right next to the time pointer - to do this just rotate the dial a little then set to the correct time again when complete. Those complaining that this timer stops switching - watch out for the power handling ability of this time switch. It will switch a maximum of "480 Watts of inductive load". "Inductive loads" are things that have motors, fans, coils etc in them, like washing machines, tumble dryers and some heaters. So no hooking up to fan heaters that are over this 480 Watts or you'll burn/weld the contacts inside the timer, causing the switching to fail. This is normal for these sort of timers - not a fault with it! The timer has a handy switch on the side which bypasses the timing mechanism and makes the output 'ON' until switched back by the user. The timer obviously keeps perfect time whilst this switch is in either position. The switch relies on mains power for timing operation, there is no back up if mains is not present, so the timer will need adjusting to the correct time again in the event of a power cut. This is a no nonsense, reliable timer, provided it is used correctly. I simply wanted this to switch several sets of Christmas lights (via a mains extension panel) and it has worked flawlessly for me. Thoroughly recommend - great price too!

Yes good item works great

Simple manual timer plug. Set it to the curent time by lining the time to the marker.Push down the the blue tabs -each one is 15 mins- to denote when you want it to switch on. Set the switch on the side to timed function ( the other function is just on all the time) plug it in, plug your device into it and that's it. You can set multiple on and off periods in a 24 hr period. We have 3 to do lights on and off around my mums house. It makes a faint ticking sound( which I cant hear) and so far in over 12 months not a single problem. It gets its power from the mains socket, no batteries, no fuss-cheap and simple.

Great and easy to use

Use timer to operate outside lighting. Does the job but segments don't 'click' when setting timer so easy to accidentally push them so on/off can be somewhat erratic.

Easy to set up for me

I had high hopes for this STATUS 24 Hour Segment Timer Switch, but unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work at all. I followed the instructions carefully, set the segments correctly, and tried it with different sockets and devices, but nothing happened. The idea is great in theory, but if it doesn’t function as intended, it’s not much use. I spent far too long trying to troubleshoot something that should be simple and straightforward. Sadly, this was a very disappointing purchase for me and I can’t recommend it based on my experience.
