Customers Say
Compact, quiet mechanical timers that work well and offer good value. Setting small segments can be fiddly, especially for those with dexterity issues. Generally reliable but some units have quality issues.

Good product
These plugs have worked in the way that they should, it was handy to have a 3 pack and a good price. Slightly fiddly to set the timer device but using a toothpick made it easier.

Simply does the job.
Simply does the job. Once set up, this handy little device takes care of switching on and off what ever is plugged into it. So far, so good. No problems at all.

Great value but fiddly to set up
I needed timers for an empty property so being able to buy 3 of these for the price was good for me. I found the setting of the times very fiddly as the little sections you need to move are skinny thin and, if like me you don't have long nails, it can be problematic - I had to use a tool to push in the sections for the times - if you have dexterity issues, you may not be able to use?

Adequate for job
I bought the pack of 3. I agree the segments are tiny, fiddly to push down/up. The 3 units all work well, but one makes a constant low rattling noise. However, they are compact and don't take up much space on the socket. I would prefer to stick with the old style, larger ones with larger segments, but I can't seem to find those anywhere.

Handy to have item
Hi I was very pleased with my item. Neat and tidy looking. Worked with our plans for them. The cost was very reasonable.

Hi Gibbo, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, the timers in this Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack all repeat their programmed on/off times every 24 hours for as long as they are plugged into a powered socket, so yes they will work for your two weeks holiday (and beyond if you leave them plugged in to a powered socket).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi SusieT, thank you for your enquiry.
You can set the segments first, down for the time you want the connected device powered and up for all other (off) times.
Two possibilities which spring to mind are a slow dial (i.e. had it actually rotated past 10pm when you checked) or some extra segments pushed down beyond the 10pm cut-off keeping the device active.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
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,

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.
