Customers Say
Users find the timer plugs effective and easy to use, particularly for Christmas lights. However, many mention the small size of the dials and pins, which can make setting them up fiddly.

Easy to use
It does what it says on the packet, works fine and easy to use

Does the job and good value for money
Very useful and work. However, a bit fiddly to set and the user instructions weren't the best. But the timers do the job. The numbers around the dial/timer are pretty small as well.

Good old fashioned style timers...
I bought these to replace more modern ones, which I could never figure out how to work! Easy to use, pretty accurate time keeping.

A must for security at home.
A very handy item and easy to use. And a good price.

Small but effective
Bought three weeks ago to set heaters in outbuildings to overnight frost protection. A bit fiddly to set as they are quite small but seem to work efficiently. Good purchase for the price.

Light timer very easy to use
Used the light timer recently. Worked very well both times I have used it
Mally, 55 - 64, North Wales
Does exactly what it says
Does a good job turning lights on and off for home security. Tabs are fiddley to set and unset.

Ok ish
I gave these 2 stars, as the blue time setting widgets are too loose and you can easily knock them which obviously alters the time.

Hi Steve, thank you for your enquiry.
Any segment pushed filly towards the back of the timer is an ON period (of 15 minutes) whilst any pulled up flush with the numbered dial is an OFF period, so you need to push down as many consecutive segments as the desired ON time.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello,
Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Time- 3 Pack:
The Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer does not reset every 24 hours; it allows for manual control of electrical appliances, enabling you to set schedules and manage power usage as needed.
I hope this has answered your question,
Thank you for using Argos Q&A
Hello Helen,
I can advise the following for the Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack:
Product Height (mm)
100
Product Width (mm)
59
This wouldn't be possible, you would need to leave a socket gap between them.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi di, thank you for your enquiry.
The timers are _not_ waterproof so would need to be situated somewhere that they wouldn't be exposed to rain or mist (as this could penetrate them and cause all kinds of problems).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Tinkerbell, thank you for your enquiry.
The segments are plastic and we haven't had any instances of breakage so far which would seem to prove they are sturdy enough for their purpose.
Ease of operation can vary from user opinion to user opinion, we feel that they are not too difficult but some would disagree, the size being the main point they make (i.e. they're fairly small so can be difficult to move individually for some people).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Patsy, thank you for your enquiry.
Our technical information for the TMS24 (our code for this timer) shows the dimensions to be:-
60mm wide (62mm including the slide switch on the right side)
100.5mm tall
38.1mm deep from the back to the front socket face (63.3mm including pins and the dial which is slightly proud of the front socket face)
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack: ''We have not tested this and cannot see what its purpose could be as the Gas can not be controlled by mains, the switching would be done by a control knob, You can not switch on gas and then use a timer to start as this would be dangerous.''
Thank you for using Q & A.

Hi Catsassin,
Thank you for your enquiry. Our products are designed in the UK but manufactured in our own factory in China
Hi Abdul, thank you for your enquiry.
There are two points which cause us concern with this question:-
1. a Solar battery would be charged by the sun (via Solar Panels);
2. this timer has a maximum power capacity of 13A resistive or 2A inductive, so 290A would be very high (although this likely isn't the charging load level).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
