Digital 7 Day Programmable Timer:
The Plumb n’ Plug digital timer features a large LCD display
and unique “circular programming” with large keys for easy
setting and adjustments. A 100 hour capacitor backup
retains program memory during power outages.
Note: Although the Plumb n’ Plug digital timer contains
some degree of spike and electrical noise protection, as
with all electronic devices, these units can be affected by
electrical noise. It is recommended that they be powered
from a voltage source that has no switching devices or
inductive loads connected.
