Timer Switches.
Bought these for automatic switching on & off festive lights for elderly relatives. Easy to set up and use, worked perfectly. Going to continue using them for plug in hall lights.

3 Pack Masterplug Timers
Great product and excellent value for money. The same ones we saw on Screwfix but they were £4.99 each
Martha, 65 or over, Worcestershire
Good, but small segments
Perfect for what I needed, although the tabs to set the timer are small. Even setting the current time is quite difficult as the dial and segments are tiny. If you can get past these and not be hard of seeing, then the timers work well.

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.
Hi Happy, thank you for your enquiry.
That will depend on the load of the pump, the timer has a capacity for 13A (3,120W / 3.12kW) or Resistive load or 2A (480W / 0.48kW) or Inductive load.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
