Ansmann 1260-0006 daily/weekly timer

The Ansmann 1260-0006 daily/weekly timer is a compact programmable time switch designed for automating electrical devices on a 230 V AC supply. Featuring a digital display and straightforward programming, it supports switching loads up to 3680 W. Its small footprint (59.7 mm width, 76.1 mm depth, 135 mm height) makes the unit suitable for installation in confined spaces, enabling precise daily or weekly scheduling of lighting, pumps, heaters, or other household and light-commercial equipment.

Advantages

The timer combines a digital display with daily and weekly programming modes for flexible scheduling. It supports a high maximum load allowing direct control of many resistive and inductive loads. The compact housing facilitates installation in utility rooms, on DIN-rail adapters or inside switch cabinets where space is limited. The clear interface reduces programming errors and the stable electronic clock ensures reliable timed operation.

Suitable for

• Automating indoor lighting (rooms, corridors, display cases)
• Controlling small electric heaters and convectors within rated power
• Scheduling pump operation for aquariums, fountains or circulation systems
• Switching appliances on/off on a daily or weekly basis (e.g., chargers, fans)
• Energy management in small offices or retail spaces

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 230 V AC
• Maximum switching power: 3680 W
• Programming modes: daily and weekly schedules
• Display: digital LCD for time and program readout
• Mounting dimensions: 59.7 mm (W) × 76.1 mm (D) × 135 mm (H)
• Switching contacts: rated for mains loads (resistive and compatible inductive loads)

How to use

Mount the timer in a suitable dry location with access to the mains supply and the load to be controlled. After connecting the unit according to the electrical safety rules and local regulations, set the current time on the digital display and create required on/off intervals using the daily or weekly programming mode. Verify each program entry by checking the display and performing a manual test cycle. After programming, leave the device in automatic mode for scheduled operation.

Recommendations

Choose loads that do not exceed the rated maximum power and ensure correct wiring by a qualified person. For inductive loads such as motors or compressors, verify compatibility or add appropriate protection. Place the timer where the display is visible and protected from moisture and direct heat sources to maintain reliable long-term operation.
