6. Operating Instructions
This section details how to set up and program your TM919TK Astronomical Time Switch.
6.1 Initial Preparation and Basic Settings
Before programming, ensure the timer is powered on and reset. You will then set the current date, time, and your geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude).
Video 6.1: Demonstrates how to press the "RESET" button to turn on the timer and then set the latitude, longitude, date, and current time. This is the first step in preparing the timer for operation.
- Accensione è reset: Press the "RESET" button to activate the timer and clear any previous settings.
- Set Latitude/Longitude: Navigate through the settings to input your precise latitude and longitude. This is crucial for accurate sunrise/sunset calculations.
- Set Date and Current Time: Adjust the year, month, day, and current time to ensure the timer's internal clock is synchronized.
6.2 Astronomical Function Setting
The astronomical function allows the timer to automatically turn ON/OFF at local sunrise and sunset times, which are calculated based on your set latitude and longitude.
Video 6.2: Illustrates how to set the astronomical function. This includes entering the local sunrise/sunset time and adjusting for any desired advance or delay in the ON/OFF operation.
- Press the "P" button to enter the programming mode.
- Press the "globe" button (or equivalent) to access the astronomical settings.
- You can set the ON/OFF times relative to sunrise/sunset, including options to advance or delay the operation by a specific duration.
6.3 Time Mode Setting (Fixed Programs)
In addition to astronomical settings, you can program up to 8 fixed ON/OFF schedules for specific times of the day.
Video 6.3: Shows how to set fixed time programs. The display will first show the astronomical timer program, then allow setting or clearing of up to 8 ON/OFF programs.
- Press the "P" button to cycle through the program settings.
- For each program (1 ON, 1 OFF, 2 ON, 2 OFF, etc.), set the desired time and day(s) of the week.
- You can set or clear these programs as needed.
6.4 Canceling Programs
If you need to remove a previously set program, follow these steps:
Video 6.4: Demonstrates how to cancel both fixed time programs and astronomical programs. For fixed programs, press "P" then "MANUAL". For astronomical programs, press "P" then the "globe" button until the symbol disappears.
6.4.1 Canceling Fixed Time Programs
- Press "P" to enter the time setting mode.
- Navigate to the specific program you wish to cancel.
- Press the "MANUAL" button to cancel the program.
6.4.2 Canceling Astronomical Programs
- Press "P" to enter the time setting mode.
- Press the "globe" button (or equivalent) repeatedly until the astronomical symbol disappears from the display, indicating the program is canceled.
7. Mantenimentu
7.1 Pulizia
To clean the device, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the casing o visualizazione.

- Scompartimentu sicuru: Chiude u compartimentu di a batteria in modu sicuru.
- Ripristina l'energia: Reconnect the main power supply and verify the timer functions correctly.
8. Risoluzione di prublemi
| Prublemu | Causa Possibile | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| U display hè viotu o scuru. | No power supply; internal battery low or dead. | Check power connections. Replace internal battery (see Section 7.2). |
| Timer not switching ON/OFF at programmed times. | Incorrect programming; manual override active; incorrect current time/date/location. | Review programming steps (Section 6). Check if manual mode is active and switch to AUTO. Verify current time, date, latitude, and longitude settings. |
| Astronomical function is inaccurate. | Incorrect latitude/longitude or time zone settings. | Double-check and correct latitude, longitude, and time zone settings (Section 6.1). |
| Cannot enter programming mode. | Device may be locked or in an unexpected state. | Press the "RESET" button to restart the device. Try pressing "P" again. |
