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.
Jem, 55 - 64
Great product for an excellent price
Excellent price, appear to be well made and are easy to use. The timer switches are in 15-min blocks, so ignore some of the old descriptions that say 48 time blocks, as you have double that amount. Has been working perfectly the past few days and only makes an audible click when a timer turns on or off. Exactly what I wanted.

Perfect timing
I bought these for Xmas tree lights and they’re excellent, timers work really well and accurate, just what I needed.

Simple to use
Ideal time intervals, easily set with a small screwdriver and three at the price is very reasonable.

Segments not clear how to use them

A really useful tool
These timer lamps are really a useful tool at home. You can arrive home when its dark and be welcomed by having a light on in any room you wish. They are really a good idea.

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.
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.
