Customers Say
Compact mechanical timers, easy to use and value for money; some find the small segments fiddly and a few report faulty units. Good for lights and home security with quiet operation.

Hi Sp90, thank you for your enquiry.
That will very much depend on the socket in question, although most are relatively compact and so don't have the available space to accommodate timers.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Kay, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, all mechanical timers make at least some noise (although some significantly more than others) when in operation.
That said, the best way to verify it is working is to check what the indicated time is at 1/4 or 1/2 hour intervals when the dial should have moved around by the applicable amount.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
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,
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.
